They'll want to hype people into buying tickets early. Round 11 of 16 is late. People will know if their team is crap.

Well this is worst kept secret around WOB, I genuinely heard it about 6 weeks or so ago, and thought it was done signed then.
Mind you there not that many things are secret in NZ rugby if you are around the game enough I reckon.

As I understand it Tribe were pretty keen on him as well so it wasn't quite a done deal plus I heard there was some paperwork stuff around him exiting his French club that had to be completed.

Doesn't surprise me the Tribe were keen on him WOB, he from the area, and a good player at super level.

Tom Christie heading to Newcastle & Zach Gallagher to Toyota post-NPC. Gallagher is on a three-year deal so maybe thinks there could be an AB opportunity in the next RWC cycle?

$550 per person is a lot less than I would have expected"In 2024 ChristchurchNZ paid SailGP a $400,000 cash "host city'' payment and $520,000 in various costs associated with running the event which attracted 6000 visitors who spent $3.3 million."

Hope it works etc, I suspect it will be hard only moving a couple of games, as members tend to buy season tickets etc.

Could also be a negotiating tactic with their Eden Park contract having expired.

Seems there is a drip feed of key games happening rather than full draw being released?

Crusaders heading to Suncorp for the Reds on 11 April
Tahs v Reds in Sydney to launch season on 13 Feb
Brumbies host Blues on 28 Feb

Think each team is drip feeding one home game, and full draw comes out on Thursday.

Force sitting out the Super Round feels wrong.
