    I think there has been a small error from the Blues media people though. When this was announced they should've had Cotter, Tuipulotu & Papali'i available to answer questions

    That might've delayed the announcement (not sure if Dalton is training again?)

    The media person should've predicted the dumb 'Dalton dropped' headlines. The rugby media is bored at this time of the year and will over hype anything

        If Cane is replaced as All Blacks captain, presumably you'd also have him at the ABs captain announcement this year?

          Different situation, because unlike Papalii, Cane would be being dumped... unless of course Papalii really has been dumped and this is merely a PR spin.

            Really unsure how it’s a slap in Daltons face. He doesn’t own the Blues captaincy.

              I with you @Nepia , it's the captaincy. When Barrett was named at Crusaders, wasn't a big deal, and same when Taylor got the gig. By geez there is a lot of reading stuff inton little things, must be summer!

                @Daffy-Jaffy You would think that one of the young NH locks (Cook, Christie) would be in line for a NDC spot.

                  Sounds like Halangahu might be going to the Wallabies. Will the Blues need to replace him?

                  (from The Roar)

                  Daniel Halangahu, the highly respected assistant coach at the Blues who played alongside RA boss Waugh at the Waratahs, could also be someone on RA’s radar.

                    Given their play, I always thought the Blues would be better off without him. If he's going to the Wallabies, this could be a win-win...

                          It'll be interesting to see if he stops having issues with his calf muscles now

                            Really hope this is a positive mood. Is this the weight he was when he burst onto the scene? Feel like he has looked a little bigger the past couple of years.

                                When is it available? Thought it was going to be from Jan 1 but haven't seen it advertised anywhere.

                                          Tour squad -
                                          All Blacks on deck. Bryce Heem is the only full squad member not there, replaced by Leo Gordon.
