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 yeah we were meant to get the Jaguares match last year, but someone ate a bat!

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)

@nepia ok then have it your way I'm over it
I think you do work for NZR considering how seriously you're taking this. Since I have your ear can you move the Magpies to another franchise please?
