@Bones You Wellington fuckers should actually be on my side.

When did you last get a challenge? QUITE a few years ago.

Because NZ Rugby has implemented a system that encourages institutional raci... err... tribalism!

Useless fluffybunnies!

@Chris-B we lose enough important matches as it is and I've derailed enough threads today.

[Chris B.]

@Bones Let's hope Mark Robinson is more awake to the "iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men" than Sleepy Steve Tew was!

@Bones That's Ezekiel 25:17!

Plenty of fiction usually in Blues threads but now we have pulp fiction.

All I want to hear from your ass is, 'you ain't got no problem, Jules. Get back in there, chill them n-bombs out, and wait for Leon, who will be arriving shortly'

MacDonald has a full squad to launch preparations on Monday in a heavily safety-oriented environment at Blues HQ. Caleb Clarke is back on board from the sevens squad (which is in hiatus) and props Karl Tu’inukuafe and Alex Hodgman have both used the lockdown period to mend torn calf muscles.

I guess the question on everyones lips is..... How fat will Akira Ioane be??

@Hooroo I think it's fair to say he won't be in as good of a shape as Beaudie - who apparently broke his own PB and Blues club record for the Bronco fitness test today.

That's fantastic. I do realise they would have all been given criteria to meet each week while in lockdown but it's not easy to train out of a regimented regime.

That is pretty impressive.

That must be close to the AB record too?
