Unfortunately most rugby coaches shy away from making tough calls on big name players. Christie is too established. On form Forbes should be starting fullback and Perofeta should be on the bench.

Christie starting and Funaki is benched. It's equally laughable and predictable.

Never to go Eden Park again? It's a short train from Britomart. Heck you can even walk to it from the CBD. Having said that - Quay Park looks good if they can somehow get it funded - get Blues, Warriors, new Auckland A League team, ABs, women's teams playing there. Brilliant.

Long range forecast looks wet.

The real question for the Blues is will Cotter have the guts to play 9 Funaki and 10 Plummer They are clearly the superior halves pairing Christie is overrated as all heck and Perofeta is unfortunately a flake. Why Perofeta chose to kick the ball away when the Blues had the ball in the Chiefs...

Cracking game for a dead rubber

Has there been an explanation as to why Teddy Wilson has had such little gametime this year? Kid looks class

Excellent try assist by Bowen

I wonder if Creighton is a smokey for a Wallaby jersey. Could be a solid 10 option that Schmidt likes.

Eeermmm......

Really sorry to hear the news. Have enjoyed going to Rebels games and have found their fans passionate and fair minded. A sad day.

Unfortunately i'm not surprised at that result in the slightest. If the Crusaders could have rolled out that 23 more this season they would be further up the table. Equally Blues missed likes of Heem, Papalii, McWhannell and Clarke. Blues still could have won but they weren't clinical enough...

Saturday will be 10 weeks since his first concussion and 3 weeks since his second concussion But yes it is concerning. Hopefully all is OK.

Woops disregard I put an away game.

I presume at best Beauden might be able to be on the bench for the remaining regular season games (and not playoffs) if Blues are short given injuries to Perofeta, Zarn and apparently Cashmore (similar to John Afoa playing for Crusaders last year) but this whole thing gives me nightmares of...

ABs would legitimately be better off picking Plummer as 10/12 utility.

Sorry for the dumb questions but what does this mean for the Rebels future/Tarniet proposal? Does this mean that $19 mil is what the final debt number is? EDIT - I now see the article below.

Seems like a rather huge distraction either way just hours before kickoff

Let's not go nuts
