    Looks like all the Super Rugby players were at the leadership camp over the last week - Lakai, Springer, Hotham, Godfrey etc so obviously no longer available for their respective Super sides going forward.

    Seems like a talented side, hopefully they can do the business.

      Isn't Laidlaw still the men's sevens coach? I thought he was at the Toulouse event.

        @kiwi_expat true, maybe this was earlier in the year so in that case ignore the above.

          Does anyone know whether you can actually go to NZCIS to watch the game? Do they allow entry to spectators?

            Yeah you can walk up and watch but it's not suited to the biggest crowd as you can see in the video below.

              Hmmm...some of these innovations might be better in theory than in practice, particularly the lineout throws.

                  @Dan54 Yeah, that tech will never work correctly - too many variables.

                    @Dan54

                    Yep some of that might slow the game down not speed it up,Lineout throws are one of those do we have any that are 100% accurate ?.
                    Nearly every line out may get blown up by the ref.

                      I would hope there is a tolerance.
                      I think that if the ref gets a beep in the ear to confirm a not straight throw (outside of tolerance), that will cut out a lot of argument. We do see a lot missed even at the top level.

                          Has anyone in Wellington had a sneaky look at their training camp? The first test vs Aust is on Monday.

                          Obviously Hotham won't be involved.

                              Weird that there's been no announcement of a NZ side for this game considering it's tomorrow.

                                Strong side, good blend of U20’s last year and the U19’s who toured South Africa. A good number of Super players too. It’ll great to see how we fare against the Euro countries and SA.

                                      I haven't seen a team line-up, but today's game will be livestreamed (two streams).
                                      From the NZCIS Facebook page:

                                      💡 Hack: if you want both views, open 2 windows in your browser.

                                      ❗️Apologies: No commentary or scorecards this time around.

                                          You would think there will be some rotation of players over these two games to give everyone an opportunity to play and impress.
