@Tim said in Super Rugby 2020:
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.
@Machpants You got the right thread there?

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.
@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.

Some dude who works for stuff.co.nz just posted in the rugby stuff page on Facebook and said the squad are named on the 12th of November. Fuck knows honestly. Dunno why they don't just say and build some hype.

@Yeetyaah maybe they are named on the 9th and released on the 12th. That makes sense
