    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 !

                        Blues have already sold 10,000 tickets for the Chiefs match. That's almost a month away - July 26th

                          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.

                                      From the article on the All Blacks website about BB going to Japan:

                                      “Our focus is fully on the current campaign but we have plans for next year without Beaudy. He will be a big loss but that is countered with what he is doing on and off the field this year, and that we get him for two more years.

                                      “We have Otere Black playing terrific rugby, and Harry Plummer who has been coming off the bench, while we will have Stephen Perofeta back next season from injury.”

                                      I thought he'd be available later in the SRA season, but this seems to suggest he's out for the entire season. Or am I reading too much into this?

                                        He's out for the SRA season. Was replaced by Dan Carter.

                                          I wonder if Blues are eyeing up Zarn Sullivan to take Beady's spot in the 2021 Blues squad.
