Not my fcking fault people keep messing with the rules. Fcking people, mutter, mutter, there's systems in place, protocols, precedents!

Is there actually any decent sport to watch this week?

[Yeetyaah]

Cool you guys have been really helpful. I'll keep my eyes and ears open on any given Thursday.

I suppose I could have just said "I don't know" but it didn't seem to be much fun.

I am gagging for some news about squad selections. Any rumours?

Same 23 except either Frizzell or Pat T on the bench.

My guess from last RWC. Then again they've gone away from the continuous mantra of experience this time so maybe the mantra of change applies to squad.

[Yeetyaah]

@Machpants You got the right thread there?

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim What I was trying to find out but then it turned into a big rant about Thursday.

From an article on Stuff:

The future is unsure for Tima Fainga'anuku. A lucrative contract from French club Montpellier awaits him if he is not picked up by a Super Rugby team.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae Smart kid really. Doesn't get picked by a Super Rugby side so takes up a contract rather than fucking around at home. Now he's ready to do it again. I'm sure he'll get one somewhere, dudes been in form. Whether or not he's so loyal to the Crusaders so he won't go anywhere else remains to be seen.

Re the squad naming date. In 2015, the world cup didn't get in the way of the squad naming, so let's assume it'll be next week. Check the date here. RWC final was on the 31st of October in 2015. Chiefs named their squad on the 28th of October.

New developments in squad naming for Super. I asked the Blues page on Instagram when the squad would be named, they responded with November. Maybe we are waiting until after the RWC.

@Yeetyaah Nice work mate.

[mikey07]

@Yeetyaah aw but I want to know now what other disappointing signings Plumtrees made
