@Stargazer he had been on an injury cover contract for Worcester recently

[Tim]

@Stargazer I guess so. Played for Harbour and Worcester too.

@Tim said in Auckland Rugby 2020:

Where are the Eden players?

[African Monkey]

@Higgins A bit late on this one but I don't think Wikipedia is overly accurate on that. He played more than that for Auckland and played a fair bit in our 2003 winning side. I remember the Blues had a massive injury crisis at halfback in 2005 and he started in a big game against the Hurricanes which happened to be the first time we lost to them.

What's up with Jordan Trainor? Isn't in the team above and wasn't called up for any Blues pre-season games despite Page being out.

@Tim They lost 35 - 7.

Heatherley scored the only try.

@Tim That caption though: "Who is looking forward to seeing Ofa wear the blue and white hoops this year?" As if.

Could do the Canterbury thing and parachute in some ABs for the finals?

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Instead of Bledisloe 3 and/or the game against Fiji after that?

Just pointing out the ABs have let players get game time at the expense of the NPC before.

@Tim Has the cash run out at Pakuranga?!!!!!

@Duluth Good to see Lemeki Namoa back.

[Tim]

@Duluth

Niko Jones at 7 for Waitemata.

Tumua Manu at 12 for College Rifles (good combo with Meihana Grindlay). Coming back from injury?

[Bovidae]

Nankivell and Sullivan are listed to be playing in Waikato club rugby so they must have released a number of Chiefs to play.
