@Stargazer what you have said makes sense, but the regulations have been poorly worded. Legally even if, like say Johnny McNicol, you've already played for resident qualified country under the 3 year rule, nothing says that makes you exempt from the updated 5 year requirement that comes into force later. So he could, legally, play until 31 December, then not be allowed from next year until he then qualifies under the 5! Makes no sense but the regs are badly written.

@Daffy-Jaffy yes that is Straker, I think @Steven-Harris mentioned he was training with the teAm, he was in the dev side 2 seasons back as well I think.

The Blues final training session for the year is a hit out against each other in five-a-side rugby. You’re invited to Blues HQ to watch!
Kicking off at 1:00pm on Thursday 19 December, with finals taking place at approx. 3:00pm. This is a free event – BYO sunscreen and soft drinks. Alcohol is not permitted.
Make your way to Alexandra Park to catch the action. There’s plenty of free parking on the gravel outside Blues HQ, enter off of Campbell Crescent and follow the signs to our training field!

@Tim The best news I see from those teams is that apart from the All Blacks being away, the only main squad players who are not involved (so maybe carrying injuries) are Parsons, Cowley-Tuioti and Lamborn. Lets hope no more injuries come from this outing. I see Tele'a, Umaga, Macdonald and Halagahu are the only backs in their team with 6 forwards. They must hope to dominate possession so there is not much tackling to be done! (kick it then cover fullback while Tele'a and the forwards chase it). I wondered who they would bring in as openside cover - so it is Jacob Norris from Ta$man. I've only seen him play a couple of times but he looked busy and committed. Rapt to see AJ Lam involved. He potentially covers wing and midfield.

@Daffy-Jaffy Yeah, it's really good to see Gibson, Papalii, Goodhue, and Sotutu all available.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy I highly doubt Team 4 will actually be playing.
