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.

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.

That makes sense. He has plenty of potential. Hopefully he gets a few starts for Auckland.
He looks like a player that could spend some time at fullback too?There's still Heighton and Page. Maybe Carter will extend his time at the Blues?

“It was [no surprise],” MacDonald told Stuff. “We knew last year this clause and this option were there and we expected it to happen. We’ve been planning for 2021 without him, hence having a lot of young 10s there and having guys like Dan Carter around to help build our depth. “We’ve invested in Harry Plummer, Stephen Perofeta and Otere Black. We feel comfortable we’ve got our bases covered pretty well. It also played a part in our selection around keeping Otes at 10 and Beaudy coming in at fullback, knowing the big picture as well. -
Wonder who moves into Beauden’s house while he’s away.Brotherly love,and all that!
