Blues have the better bench. Well, at least they have enough for a bench, of sorts.
Blues by a long shoe.

Instead of Blues suffering long term injuries in preseason this year they waited until week 1

In a statement, the Blues confirmed All Black wing Rieko Ioane - who scored two tries at Eden Park - will be out of action for "several weeks" after fracturing his hand.

Hooker Ray Niuia has suffered a season-ending knee injury while prop Alex Hodgman has a calf tear.

lol@ first line of that Herald story, they may as well have done away with all false pretense and just typed out​

The Blues have suffered a series of potentially crippling blows to their Super Rugby campaign due to them once again electing to enter a team in the Super Rugby competition.

The news gets worse

The Blues confirmed that veteran hooker James Parsons and first-five Otere Black are both expected to return from injuries as early as this week.

What’s up with the Beaugan?

He's due to start his season in April based on a clause in his contract that allowed for an extended break.

I think that answers my "who to tip?" conundrum esp remembering what 'tahs did to CruSadists in the wet last year.

That was the one good performance from an Australian side in the wet for the whole the decade.
