      I was in Canterbury, and absolutely stoked with the win back in 98. However, in hindsight, the Auckland scrum got a bit robbed by the ref ... my Auckland mates are still a bit dirty about it to be fair.

      Love NZ; still feeling aggrieved about provincial competition refereeing 20+ years later. Just ask any Otago-ite about Paul Honiss, and watch the blood pressure soar

              someone was saying on the radio Jones never played 7 for the Blues...so need to choose, Kaino or Jones at 6...

              would that mean Mark Carter or Daniel Braid take 7 🤔

                  Just thinking of 12s for the All-Time Blues XV and I think I might just put Ice at 12. He was just too good when there to not be in the conversation at least. Wish he played there a lot more than he did.

                      Havili's brother?

                        I think Kirkpatrick is out injured.

                        Havili's brother might be in the box seat. Wiseguy might be the other option.

                          Did Willy Havili get much game time during the NPC?

                            I see young Z Sullivan not playing for College Rifles today. Hope he is not injured?

                              @Duluth I think he played a little, but probably no more than Wiseguy did for Northland.

                              Outside of Kirkpatrick, who are the 10s who played for the development team this year?

                                Just looked up the teamsheet vs Chiefs A

                                Havili started with Sullivan on the bench

                                I remember Wiseguy was on the bench in the Hurricanes game but subbed on at fullback

                                  If Plummer is injured,I would love the Blues to think outside the square, I rate Kaleb Trask from BOP as a brilliant prospect..
                                  Brilliantly balanced runner who can kick goals as well Daniel Kirkpatrick does not do it for me..another Canes reject who is no more than a journeyman .

                                    Maybe ask Nacewa if he's been staying in shape.

                                          No - and the game he played in he struggled a bit.

                                          He's a different build to David - similar but possibly lighter than Otere Black, I'd say.

                                          If the Blues need a Ta$man first five, I reckon they'd be better with Tim O'Malley.
