        Probably Tamati Tua as one of the midfielders?

              Stuff understands that Whangārei is the favoured venue to host the Rebels clash, though details were still being worked through. If so, it would be the first Blues Super Rugby clash in Northland since 2011.

                  @kiwimurph That would be a fun weekend. Meet up with Fern boys at the game, and spend the next two days at Tutukaka. Take Monday off ...

                    Good

                    No Albany games this year

                    Okara should always be the second ground. The distance between Eden Park & Albany is not large enough to justify taking a game too

                            It would be really awesome if people who quote or refer to articles in the media, actually post links to those articles. Thanks in advance. (IIRC it used to be Fern policy, because it's also a way to acknowledge the author)

                                        I think you do work for NZR considering how seriously you're taking this. Since I have your ear can you move the Magpies to another franchise please?

                                        Haven't they already been moved to Moana Pasfika?

                                          They should move Moana Pasifika to the Bay.
