The Blues have dropped a selection bombshell for the Super Rugby final - with Patrick Tuipulotu named to start two weeks into what was expected to be a six-to-seven week recovery for a medial ligament tear in his right knee.
Tuipulotu - who limped off in the quarter-final against the Drua - starts in the second row against the Chiefs on Saturday night, with Josh Beehre dropping to the reserves.
Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave unpacks this news.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eighteen past five four four.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Let's try that one again.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Eighteen past four. Darcy Waldgrave's right here. How are you hello, Darcian?
Very well, thank you. So Patrick's back for the Blues.
So the Blues are going to win.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Paddy two ups has made the return. That's sir Patrick
two Blotto for those who don't know his nickname. This
is very similar to what Sam Whitelook white Lock did
last year when he decided to miraculously come back from
injury and play a full eighty minutes for the Crusaders
to win that title. Of course, that was Scott Robertson's decision.
I'm sure that Ian Foster wasn't overly pleased him. The
(00:32):
fact the hold on that's one of our key all blacks.
Don't you dare break him? So this time around the
medics who said it was going to be sixty seven
weeks only to be a couple of weeks. Nahn has
media ligaments, fine, should be right with test that all
he's going to play. Paddy plain Need does not want
to not be involved. Yeah, possibly the only Blue success
in many years. He wants to be there. So I
(00:52):
don't see Scott Robertson the or Blacks coach who pulled
the same trick last year, go hey, what are you
doing your guy? See goose gam to gotcha, you do
whatever you want. It's great for Patrick. I wouldn't say
it definitely means the Blues are going to win. There's
so much going in. The blueses favor forty four thousand people,
and the Chiefs just love taking big brother scalps, don't they.
(01:15):
They've been particularly depted over the last few years, so
this is going to be exciting. I just hope he survives,
Iby gets through the eighty minutes, and I hope for
all Black prospects that maybe after sixty minutes, stern or
depends if they're winning on mirthful vern pulls them from
the park.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Dasy.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I don't want to be the guy who said I
told you so, Okay, but in August twenty twenty, I
told you that this was going to happen to cricket.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And now look, how can you remember back four years?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh my gosh, twenty twenty two. Sorry, right, that wasn't you,
That was me twenty twenty two. It's only two years,
only two years. And the reason I can name the
date is because there was an article in the Economists
called the Footballization of Cricket.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I read it and talked to you about.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It, and what did you say exactly?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I said, well, this is the way that our cricket
team is going to go right. All of our good
players are going to end up playing for the IPL
and the big, big money making tournaments and stuff, and
the Black Caps will come secondary.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Slowly, bit surely. At Pills why started with tree ghetto law?
How long can players play for the national team before
being given dispensation through contract to actually not play for
their national site? And I would say every different player
there is a different set of rules for it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's about how how much we need them, basically right, and.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's the negotiations. Heith Mills joins us in New Zealand
Cricket Players Association boss Tonight on Sports Talk Up After
Seven to talk about that Bolt's case, Williamson's case. You're
hardly going to say, you guys don't deserve It's like
getting yourself go. You want to come back and play
a wee bit for us. Fantastic does not.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Extend the same courtesy to Lucky Ferguson.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, depends where Locky Ferguson sits in the peaking order
if they deem to think that he is valuable enough
to let him go away. The bigger question here is
not this, and it's what the schedule into nationally looks
like for global cricket and who's running this because as
we know, all the money is in T twenty. Plainly obvious.
The T twenty leads popping up every a lot of them,
(03:09):
backed by the BCCI, bought a control cricket and they've
got all the money, so they've got all the control
of the golden rule. It's fairly simple. So what does
the ICC do as far as putting an essentially meaningless
bilateral series jammed in between them where players really don't
want to play for the risk of breaking themselves, thus
taking them away from consideration in this T twenty series.
(03:31):
So that's got to be looked at. On that global level,
all the players have to come together, This is the
boards and the franchises and everybody else and go right,
we need international cricket because that produces superstars, which in
turn go on to be superstars in T twenty cricket.
So yeah, how are they organized their windows? Is there
a want to organize those windows. Who's control of those windows?
(03:53):
There are so many questions around us, and Heath is
going to join us this evening to talk about that,
because I get the sense nothing's had and for a
very long time. Why would anything change in the future?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
To be fair though, To be fair, the South African
Cricket tournament has only just started up, so you could
argue that we've sort of seen the signs of it,
but it's really accelerating now.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So now the precious we saw.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
The signs last year, didn't we Because it all saw this,
it all started up and then they sent over a
B team. I'm doing pretty well for.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Look at this Hither.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You're right, I remember you saying that this will be
the demise of the national team.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The question is was that twenty twenty or twenty twenty two? Texted?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Do you remember that twenty That's when I said it
was in nine saying it for you aged well, thank.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You, I thought so too, Darcy, appreciate it. Looking forward
to your show at seven with Heath Mills. It's Darcy
