    Easy to say without seeing his facials.

        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 $$$

                "When the decision comes it will come easy but for the moment I'm just focusing on the Blues.

                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...

                      Adesanya with the Blues after the game. Surprised Rieko looks taller

                            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.

                                    I think the good will started building with the 2018 NPC final. It just took the Blues another year to get the results up to standard

                                          Interesting video on corner kicking and how it went well for the Blues at the weekend.

                                          Simple, but effective.
