      @KiwiMurph I only saw 'season ending' in an article.

      GUess it probably refers to the Blues seaosn, which is shorter than normal anyway.

        He might be back for the Blues too. It'll be late in the season though

          they look like a bunch of blokes enjoying each other's company. And it shows on the field too, trust in each other.

          Well done the coaching staff.

          I also like the competitive edge that's there in a silly game of football

          This quote from Sotutu about Ioane says a bit about the team too. A good team should sound a bit like a cult.

          “Aki’s sort of the big brother in the team. He’s happy for me and happy that I’m getting a shot. He’s real supportive of all the players, but especially me. He’s always been helping me out through my development with the Blues...The Blues are my team, the team I care about – and I feel like I was only going to play the best rugby for a team that I care about”

                https://www.rugbypass.com/news/the-massive-contribution-dan-carter-has-already-made-to-the-blues-campaign/

                Even the Blues’ other most significant signing for 2020, Beauden Barrett, had never won a Super Rugby game in the Waikato, with his old side the Hurricanes also breaking their duck earlier this season and recording a first win in Hamilton since 2007.

                The one man in the Blues who had tasted victory against the Chiefs in the Waikato, however, is new recruit Carter, and he wasted no time motivating his new club ahead of their win, according to wing Caleb Clarke.

                  If England didn't know about this before, they sure will now. Thanks NZ Herald.

                  Fozzie better cap him this year.

                      They still have those players outside the caps, a team could chuck a fortune at him, if they wanted. In NZ he would be getting SFA, really it is the lure of the black jersey vs $$$

                        Youd think he has his mind made up already, and TBH the timing couldn't be better with Read retiring, he is a ready made fit to get the call up whenever international rugby returns...

                            He'll have to severe his ties with Fiji before he goes to England.

                                    I bet Hansen and Foster are disgusted looking at this pic. Coaches aren't supposed to be in that kind of shape.

                                    Get that man a plate of sausage rolls !

                                        I see they are also running the same promo as the Canes game - free child with a GA ticket. It's a Sunday game too. Local derby. Should be another big crowd.

                                          We're setting the standard. 42k and then nearly 30k for a wet Saturday night. Shows that Aucklander's aren't apathetic after all - give us a bandwagon to jump on and we're on like kong.

                                          It's awesome, I'm super stoked for the franchise.
