    @daffy-jaffy So it's looking like Romano, Tucker, Suafoa, Choat, Funaki, and the two midfielders to go.

      Probably Tamati Tua as one of the midfielders?

        Stuff understands that Whangārei is the favoured venue to host the Rebels clash, though details were still being worked through. If so, it would be the first Blues Super Rugby clash in Northland since 2011.

            @kiwimurph That would be a fun weekend. Meet up with Fern boys at the game, and spend the next two days at Tutukaka. Take Monday off ...

              Good

              No Albany games this year

              Okara should always be the second ground. The distance between Eden Park & Albany is not large enough to justify taking a game too

                      It would be really awesome if people who quote or refer to articles in the media, actually post links to those articles. Thanks in advance. (IIRC it used to be Fern policy, because it's also a way to acknowledge the author)

                                          @daffy-jaffy Tamati Tua and Choat confirmed too.

                                          Northland’s Tamati Tua will re-join the Blues after being part of the team in 2018. The 23-year-old midfielder played for the New Zealand Under-20s and has 38 games for Northland, coming back after injury issues that have thwarted his progress in the last two years.
