Big blow for the Auckland Blues. Rupeni Caucaunibuca has a shoulder ligament injury that is expected to require surgery and is expected to be out of the game for six months. Bad luck for the big winger :/

Good news for the Auckland Blues though in that speedster Joe Rokocoko should be back from injury to replace Caucau. Watch out this weekend Waratahs!

Elton Flatley has been cleared to play for the Reds this weekend - yay! Let's hope Flats can rustle up some better form from the boys!

That's it for the present. Cheers!
