    The Chiefs were meant to be based in Harbour. Most of the unions that made up the Chiefs wanted Hamilton and they won an appeal against the NZRFU

      Seeing Beaudie in a Blues uniform makes me feel a little better about the jerseys. It's too bad we have to win our title(s) in this jersey though.πŸ™‚

        @Stargazer what a crock, how the marketing team sold that concept πŸ™„

        Amazing how they can take a simple rugby jersey and try to justify why it looks shit.

        Was this only a training Jersey? One of the better looking ones IMO.

          Crusaders marketing team one, "we just convinced the crusaders that changing from a badass knight to two sets of cocks and balls touching was a great design idea! Top that"

          Blues marketing team "hold my beer"

          Have the canes unleashed this years atrocity yet? I'm setting my expectations to low based on that thing in the picture.

                  Yeah I don't understand the fuss about the Canes one. It's just your usual stark yellow Canes Jersey with a bit of black stuff on it.

                        Does anyone recognise any of the wtg/acadamy/injury cover players in the video above? I wondered if the player with dreads second from the right in the 'wedding photo' at 2m35s was the young Auckland halfback Taufa Funaki ?

                            @nzzp yeah they all seem to put it in pre-season, so comes down to other issues that see the results fall the way they do.

                                        @Dice yep.

                                        I hope at least Nuia/Eklund get proper minutes off the bench. If Parsons starts he shouldn't be playing more than 50 minutes max.

                                          Not necessarily. Captain, yes, part of leadership group, no. Kevin M was part of the leadership group of ABs for a long time, even when not a starter
