@Tim Great - one thing we're short of is outside backs...

Robbie Abel has joined the Rebels.
Looks like he scored a try in the trial game against the Brumbies.

@Tim He'd be number 1 at the Blues if Umaga didn't sign up Parsons and Apisai.
@African-Monkey yeah, really wish he was there in place of Apisai!

Christian Lealiifano has been named as the Brumbies Captain for the 2019 Super Rugby campaign.
The outstanding flyhalf, who was co-captain alongside lock Sam Carter in both 2017 and 2018, will take on the armband in a sole capacity for the new season.

He's clearly the best choice. Won't stop them battling to beat the Rebels for last place.

I was thinking Aussie conference. Otherwise...good call haha.

Looks like the South African superhero preseason double header in Cape Town was a huge success - a crowd of over 45k.

Another Kiwi joins the Sunwolves: Nathan Vella.
Just wondering whether all these NZ players signing with the SW could have negative side effect, in that they are no longer available as injury cover for NZ franchises, like Vella last year for the Canes. The NZ franchises have pretty big squads during preseason, so they'll be able to absorb some of it, but could it become a problem if a lot of players in the same position are going down, like the Chiefs' props last year? Could it result in average NPC players or very young players being called up? In short, does it harm our depth in some positions?

@Stargazer if they werent signing for the SW I expect they would have signed in France, so I dont think it impacts things anymore than the past few years, if anything, probably better with a few of them coming back to M10 Cup (Ranger signed with Northland, although Pryor brothers not coming back) which is where we need them.
