The Blues have played three super rugby games and Benji has only had a cameo role in the first game. Why is he in the squad and what position does coach Kirwan want him to play ? It cant be flyhalf because Kirwan has added a new guy called Hickey to the squad who actually played well against the Crusaders and Bulls. Is it fullback ? --- but why shift Piatau whose playing brilliant there ? Don't forget Nonu's coming back - oh no ! Benji should have stayed with league and the Kiwis.The Blues have played three super rugby games and Benji has only had a cameo role in the first game.

The Blues have had three games but as far as I am aware, Benji was not selected to tour SA so he wasn't involved in the last game. As a 10, his biggest problem is his kicking game, important in league but nowhere near as important as rugby. I would give him a run at 12.

The thing is he isn't going to be straight in the starting line up, think back to SBW who also wasn't. He was shit when he first started union so didn't have massive game time. With experience and other players injuries he will get more time on the field

I am not a big Rugby - Union or league fan, but I think you are spot on. I'm not sure he will make the transition. I'm sure there are heaps of good young players around who would be able to perform much better than him at the moment.
