@Tim Might be able to tell us,I presume it is more Herald click bait.

Rumours about midfielders mostly. Nothing confirmed
- LF to France
- Aumua to Blues/Crusaders/France
- Goodhue maybe to the Blues
- JRK has interest from Blues/Crusaders/Highlanders

not surprising Crusaders looking into Levi, need more power in their backline, the current midfield has the physicality of a wet towel.

@KiwiMurph SRP was never going to be bad for NZ audiences. Shame about the other half I guess. Convenient he's left that part to other experts who, presumably, have more nuance.
There's a concerted media attack on the viability of Super Rugby in NZ, so of course this tweet is going to focus on NZ. It doesn't mean anyone is pretending Oz doesn't exist.
You're just looking for something to be annoyed about.

Just want to point out these sellouts and that Blues vs Crusaders game was Test match level. Comp is excellent.

Test match level? Hold up, isn't this the stick we repeatedly beat our SR coaches with to ensure there's no pathway to higher honors? How can we trust Razor to coach ABs if he's never coached at test level?

He got the job, you can let that go now.

@Kirwan Haha was gonna say the same thing. It's like he's still angry or something.

with two rounds to go even a poor predictor like me can have a crack at the Finals composition
Chiefs 50 (Brumbies A, Force A) 50-60, predict 58
Crusaders 42 (Tahs H, Canes A) 42-52 predict 50
Brumbies 41 (Chiefs H, Rebels H) 41-51 predict 47
Blues 38 (Canes H, Highlanders H) 38-48 predict 46
Canes 37 (Blues A, Saders H) 37-47 predict 39I would have a flutter on the current order staying the same.
Saders can reach top spot but even 2 losing BPs from Chiefs would probably be enough.
Brumbies could get to 50 if they beat the Chiefs but have a vastly inferior PD to the Saders
Blues could overtake Brumbies but need one BP added to two wins. Not impossible but that 3 try margin is hard to get at this stage of the season.The fight for 7,8 is still on (With Tahs likely to stay 6th)
Reds in box seat although a Landers win this weekend will really make things interesting
Way too many variables in that end of the table but critical games in Highlanders v Reds and Drua v Reds (in Fiji)
Drua could pick up 9 points in their last 2 games
Force v Rebels (A) could cement a finals spot for the Force -
Hit of the round?

What do people think of the Aumua move from Moana Pacific. I think it stinks. Defeats purpose of MP. Several teams tried, so not singling out Crusaders. I can't fathom Aumua, as he continues to change franchises. Now he will compete with Ennor, Havili, Goodhue and McLeod and I would rate the first 3 all ahead of him, and the 4th may overtake him soon. He is the line-break go-to for a poor team, and shines in that role. The skillset needed by Crusaders is a bit different. But, what do I know?

He's a New Zealander, so why should he be constrained to MP?
