Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021
RA are obviously in a strong position. Every Aussie SR player who took a pay cut will be looking forward to a pay rise after Joseph Suaalii comes on board. He was offered $1.7m for 3 years at the Bunnies so RA must be paying more and all for a winger. :lol: Imagine how much money they will be throw...

Re: Stuart Barnes: Drop Otere Black and play Barrett at no.1
BB has played well by taking a backseat but that’s not what made him famous. If he played at 10 and recaptured some form from earlier in his career the decision is a no brainer. However, his later games at 10 prove that is far from a given. He played very well at 15 for the all blacks last year too...

Re: Stuart Barnes: Drop Otere Black and play Barrett at no.1
BB made his name from coming on with 20 to go at fullback/second receiver.
May be he is carrying a niggly injury but he has lost his attacking mojo somewhat. Otere Black is doing well and as AC says Auckland have been looking for someone for years.
