Photo / John StoneFour Northland Taniwha players have been named in the Blues' squad for next year's Super Rugby competition after a stellar Mitre 10 Cup campaign for their province. Another Northland player who had a blinder this year was giant lock Sam Caird and he's signed a two-year deal with the New South Wales Waratahs. The Northland players named in the Blues squad were instrumental in the Mitre 10 Cup Championship run to the final this season, only to fall to Hawke's Bay at Napier a week ago. In a few weeks the players will be back for what will be a short preparation for the 2021 season.
