Will you watch Saturday's Blues vs Chiefs final?
When Jimmy Tupou left for Japan in 2018, never did he think he’d ever be back in Super Rugby, let alone playing in, and for that matter, starting, a final.

Have you been past the old theatre lately?
It was a spectacle that would have thrilled anyone’s inner three-year-old.
