I'm also curious if injured players had access to the team physio during the lockdown so they could rehab.

Were routine medical appointments allowed over there in your lock down?

The general public could still see a doctor (with strict conditions attached) during L4 and L3 but physios and S & C are not in the same category. Maybe they gave instructions remotely but that isn't the same, especially for a pro athlete.

I did see some skills coaching going on by video during L4/L3. Not ideal, but better than nothing!

I don't recall there being a comp in 2012 or 2013?? What happened????
Justice prevailed.

I vaguely recall a couple of solid seasons from some form of Invitational XV made up of players from unions all over the land, but excluding Waikato, BOP and Counties. Yet they played in the colours of one of the latter unions, and played home games at stadia in those unions? But it might have been more appropriate had they played in Palmerston North, or even Invercargill. Is that it?

You should do, you support the Crusaders after all

Maybe I've missed something, but has anyone heard anything about whether Tyler Ardron will be available for the entire SRA comp? Considering he's signed with Castres, you'd think he'll be off to France soon, just like Ben Lam?
And then the follow-up question is, has anyone heard of a possible replacement?

Wiki says Ardron's departure has only just been announced.
I might try to go to a training run to see what extra players are involved but based on the preseason game the likely replacement would be from Taranaki (Lord, Vaa'i or Hoeata).

Ardron was in the squad as a loosie. Do they replace him with another back row or a lock?
Last year Daymon Leasuasu was called in after Seu was injured out.

@Crucial I didn't mention Leasuasu as I thought he had left NZ. I might be wrong but he wasn't involved in the game in Waihi.
Based on a fit squad, Allardice and Ardron should be the starting locks. Ah Kuoi has been used on the bench and Brown has also been used as a lock. I am not a fan of that. McWhannell is also back from injury which helps too.

@Bovidae It was already reported in the French media in March that he had signed with Castres (and confirmed by Ardron himself). What Wiki is referring to is a media release in which Castres officially confirms all their new signings for the next season. So the Chiefs and NZR have known about his departure for months.
