    New Zealand Rugby are keeping open a gap down the blindside for a future Super draft, but the prospect is unlikely for now

    New Zealand Rugby are keeping open a gap down the blindside for a future Super draft, but the prospect is unlikely for now


    The issue has re-emerged because the Blues are carrying three All Blacks first-fives for next season via Beauden Barrett, Stephen Perofeta and Harry Plummer, while the Crusaders have signed former Wallaby James O'Connor to help their depth.

    Chris Lendrum, NZR's manager of the professional game, says any supposed hoarding is not an issue but the idea to spread talent across the country holds merit in theory.



    Blues boss Andrew Hore has raised some concerns.
