    Am I the only one who doesn't care about the away jerseys?

    I guess nothing will ever be as bad as this to me:

    If you have them you might as well do a good job of them. That Vikings jersey was an abomination

          Injury updates

          If you are looking for the most recent information about injuries (or other reasons why players may be unavailable for selection, such as rest breaks or suspensions) and expected return dates (where available), have a look at the Fern's homepage.

          Click on the team logo in the Super Rugby panel and then click on "Squad".

          If you have recent info about new injuries, the nature of existing injuries, player returns/suspensions etc etc, please, send me a link to the source of your info or tag me in the post where you've included the link.

              @Stargazer that would require a complete renegotiation of contracts with players and the NZRPA I expect...

                The problem is the length of the season by SANZAAAAR effectively making Super Rugby in reality Average Rugby.

                I agree with JK here: Kirwan also said the purpose of Super Rugby should be to be a premium competition involving the best players in action.

                "I think what it is, is a feeder to the All Blacks and to Europe."

                  SO we had a couple of years of the ABs trying to beat the rush with speed and dual playmakers, but it isn't working yet!

                          @Canes4life I was hoping to be able to go, but didn't have the car and public transport would have taken too much time. There will be a report of the game; hopefully some footage as well.

                                Argentina has 1 team and they’re + 19 thats about + 100 on average if they had 5 teams like us. Likewise SA only have 4 teams so the average is stupid

                                  @Yeahtheboys although probably skewed slightly given there was a stat last year (or 2018) of 3 games I think about 58-3 for teams visiting SA?

                                        quite possibly, or maybe one ref did 2 games with huge pen counts f/a and the other was sandwiched in there due to being the other SA ref on duty in SA that weekend.
