New Zealand Rugby filed proceedings against INEOS in the High Court in Wellington yesterday.

Make it make sense.

@OBBY001 Expect teams to have big circles around their clashes with the Tahs this year in general. They will be a force.

Super Rugby predictions: - Blues go back to back - Waratahs make the top 4 - Crusaders make the playoffs - Damian McKenzie wins SR Player of the Year - My fantasy team goes undefeated all season

PARDON ME

AUCKLAND FC

Huge blow for the Chiefs before Super Rugby has even kicked off. All Blacks star Wallace Sititi could be out for the entire season after picking up a knee injury on last year's Northern Tour. Will, at the very least, miss a significant chunk.

Shaun Stevenson to miss first three Chiefs games of the season to take up short term sabbatical in Japan. Will be back for the rest of the season after that.

New Zealand’s greatest ever white ball batter gets the farewell he absolutely deserves. Well done Guppy. New Zealand is lucky to have witnessed your brilliance.

@AndrewGourdie @AdamKerrBell I would suggest many will be asking this.

@LouisHWatt This is absolute quality.

How on earth are Auckland FC not at least a goal up here #AFCvNEW

@SamSherwoodNZ Looking an absolute picture, as per

@JamieWall2 Tamaiti would split the G

@elliottnz Looking forward to the definitive Allianz Stadium power rankings on RD this week.

Cherry on top of one heck of a year for Wallace Sititi

Unbeaten, top of the league, four clean sheets. Auckland FC are an absolute force.

@ChristypDoran Great headline.

All Blacks handling utterly woeful in this first half. Getting costly. Basic stuff #ENGvNZL
