I thought Blowers went to Counties i.e in the Chiefs Zone.

No he signed for Auckland.

What a dumbarse...

Why not sign somewhere where he might actually start? Like Wellington. [/b]

Why would he get a start @ Wellingotn when they have the AB's 6 and 8, the two positions that Blowers plays.

Hold on, are we talking Andrew Blowers here?

As in....

Because that would be annoying to say the least. I thought he was now playing in Japan after leaving us.

It was a blow to lose him, everyone involved at Northampton wanted him to stay, he had been such a great performer for us.

No, but even if he was we have an all current All Black backrow. It seems that based on most pridictions the Blues will only have the one!

Auckland is a tricky side to pick,they have so many quality backs,Taumoepeau is NOT a tighthead but maby playing him there would help with his versatility I do rate him better then Afoa too.

heres Aucklands version of the 2000/2001 Hurricanes who use to score from anywhere with the exception of a better foward pack.
