    I don't understand the Rieko talk to #13 talk

    You get an England Int'l talent in Marchant at #13
    Dude should carve up Super Rugby

    I agree

    Rieko wants to play 13 but he still needs to earn it. I'd start him on the wing and give him the last 20mins of matches at centre

    If his defence is good enough etc then it becomes an option later in the season.

      It seems The Blues have. taken their most potent attacking weapon moved him from space into traffic.Does Reiko have the vision to create for his outsides ? will be an interesting watch.

        Perhaps he just isn't up to speed with the systems the Blues want to use yet. There's no doubt he's talented, but SR has a lot of international centres in the comp.

          Part of this is that Rieko played 13 all the way through age grades. A bit like DMac being a 10 until Super Rugby when he switched to 15

              That I can get behind

              A wing who covers centre Helps his AB chances to be get #23 shirt at least

              Behind Bridge & Reece for AB wing spot ATM

              NZ SR teams are intriguing this year Alot of teams in transition

                Maybe thats the theory, I would have him on the wing personally .It may be a genius move or stifle the Blues backline completely.I think maybe the latter.

                  Without being too negative, they haven't been exactly rampant last few years either.

                      Nothing has happened yet

                      I suspect Ioane will have plenty of starts on the wing.

                        Haven't seen any of the Blue preseason.
                        One question - is Akira looking fit or fat?

                          The flow on effect from Ioane playing in the Perth (and not a week later) game seems to be ongoing.

                            5 pints of winners choice at winners selected location (in Auckland). (5 pints per match so if we both win a match it's square)

                                  Do you want our yearly bet (Home and away)?? I think last time it was a $100 shot of whiskey? I'm happy not to do that again.... I can still taste the hangover and that was a year ago +

                                  5 pints of winners choice at winners selected location (in Auckland). (5 pints per match so if we both win a match it's square)

                                  What say you?

                                    Haven't seen any of the Blue preseason.
                                    One question - is Akira looking fit or fat?

                                        I'm happy for Akira to build into the season, instead of the previous years of grinding him into the ground with no rest. Good for Sotutu too, am a big fan.
