Blues To Kick Off 2007 Rebel Sport Super 14

13 Oct 2006

The Blues will kick off the 2007 Rebel Sport Super 14 at Eden Park on 2nd February in a must-see match against the Crusaders.

The Blues draw for the 2007 Rebel Sport Super 14 was announced today, with the team playing seven home matches.

Six games will be played at Eden Park and one at North Harbour Stadium, against the Sharks on April 14.

The fifth team from South Africa, listed in the draw as SA#5, will be announced by the South African Rugby Union in due course.

As part of the Blues pre-season programme they will play the Reds on 17th January in Whangarei.

This match will be played at the end of the team's pre-season camp which will be staged in Northland.

Blues CEO, Andy Dalton, the draw for the Blues is both challenging and exciting.

The first match against the reigning champions will be a great occasion for both the Blues and their fans, said Dalton.

Over the first month of the competition the Blues will play teams that have historically done well in Super Rugby, so it is important that we prepare well in the off-season for what should be some tough and exciting games.

@Wales 2001-2002: Exactly, that was a dream team for any coach. Blues 1996, 1997 would have won with no coach with that awesome lineup. They pretty much were the 1995 WC team. A team who made it to the finals and just lost, many say because they were food poisoned. many say that team was the greatest ever all black team assembled. I agree. Poor laurie mains should have been given a second chance. Now in the new millenium, rugby leagues popularity in auckland has skyrocketed. We no longer are the force we once were, with players of all ages flocking to league, mt smart stadiums warriors home games regularly outselling the blues despite the warriors having a worse losing record most years. People watching australian NRL and state of origin now. Aussies. I know people who can name every single player in the eels. panthers, queensland side or NSW but would struggle to name 4 or 5 blues players. It never used to be like this. No other franchise would stand a chance against auckland if leagues popularity here wasn't sapping so much rugby talent.

@Senior: Plenty of fantasy rugby coaches on this website with thier own strategies and methadologies. If I had a dollar for every internet nigel nobody & armchair critic who thought they could coach better than the real deal I would be a very rich man. Even the plant waterer in our office regularly gives his opinions, selections and strategy play by plays on how he thinks we could improve our winning chances. Truth is that any team missing 10 or more of its first pick players is gonna struggle. Last years champion reds team, too many injuries early on and now no chance of making a semi. @cOACH CANT WIN WITH THE ONE EYED CRITICS ..well put. yours is one of many intelligent statements made on this board in my absence.
