On the availability of other players than Messam and SBW, according to the article: "Other Super Rugby players selected will be available for the Wellington and Sydney tournaments. They will then return to their Super Rugby teams through to Week 10 and be available for the remaining two...

Pleased to see Tana going with local youth, hopefully the fan base appreciates this year may be tough going, but this is how you build a contender going forward. I'd much rather cheer for raw young talent making mistakes, than over the hill journeymen. - - - Updated - - - Also to my eye...

I'm not sure about starting Burgess, but he's probably got a nailed on role as an impact sub like SBW

We've got a TMO who wants to be in the spotlight, some of these stopages have been needless and needlessly long!

http://m.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11486922 "True to his word and the goals set by the board, new Blues coach Tana Umaga is going to find the remainder of next season's squad in the ITM Cup. The Blues had 20 players under contract - the lowest of any of the five...

Jane injured again, just can't rely on him staying fit

What a goal line tackle!!

That final pass to Savea... Still should have held on to it

What a try!! Sheer power and determination, beauty

What a game so far!

Just look at that loses list ... Two years ago, I thought that the heart of the Blues over the next 5-10 years contained a Saili / Ranger Midfield combo, Piutau at full back, Luke Braid at 7 ... what a mess. Really had high hopes for Ahki as well, a real bright spot for North Harbour. I...

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11461399 Another one on the way out the door for the Blues, another local player as well who I thought showed some real promise for Harbour last year, so a bit gutted about that... especially with our track record of players...

So the Blues have lost Kaino and Piutau for the game and for at least the next few weeks, probably longer for Charlie, real shame for him.

Yeah sadly inevitable, anyone away from the game that long post concussion should be considering their future in the game. Very pleased he made the right decision. Great shame for NZ rugby as he was very talented, but good news for his family.

Yeah you're right, if I remember correctly we were trying to play the ball out of our 22 and Saili dropped a simple pass which went for a score. His club form has been fairly unspectacular ever since, but still very young and with promise.

So wake up this morning to see Francis Saili has signed a two year deal with Munster. I know he was falling in the AB centre pecking order, but another fringe player leaving young. So The Blues are loosing him, Piutau, Halai and Luke Braid to Europe next year... For a team already in real...

Kaino is just a giant for The Blues at the minute

This. Main reason why fans of New Zealand club teams are going to see alot of turnover, small country with relatively low team budgets producing world class players ... I think alot of people had got used to players taking their 'retirement' abroad, seeing out the tail end of their careers and...

Kaino is different, he gave how many years to the Blues first time round, 7-8? I think most people thought he was gone for good into semi retirement. Don't get me wrong, I hope he comes back to the Blues in the future, as a club fan I'd just like to see loyalty from players, but then I'm...

Blues are truly falling apart at the seams. Like most, i just hate the mercenary, lack of loyalty feeling about this move. Don't get me wrong, nothing against Charlie, he has been huge for the Blues, and I know this is the way in the modern game. But my favourite players growing up as a...
