More in this article on stuff:
I can't see how King Country are a "surprise package" when they won the Lochore Cup last year??.... That will become "back to back" winners on Saturday in Te Kuiti.
A little birdy tells me Pinetree is making an special effort to be at the game, so the team will need no greater motivation.... -
George Moala's brother made it - nice.
I'm guessing a large number of this squad will likely make up the Provincial Unions XV that will take on the British Lions in Game 1 in Northland?

Wouldn't the Mitre 10 Cup players without Super Rugby contracts be first choice?

@Stargazer yep that is the way I read it when the Baabaa game was announced, similarly when the Baabaas played up here a few years ago as well.
I expect there will be a few 'token' Northland players in the squad too, just to wind up Rotarded.

Last night watched a mainfreight rugby program that I'd myskyed and forgot about.
Semifinal week.
PB left winger looked electric, but not in this team.
Hah, and he was an elecyrician. Honestly no pun intended. Just happened, honest.
Also Tongan flanker for North Otago looked good. By good I mean scored an awesome try.
Is their eligibility rules for this heartland team? A heck of a lot of PI imports in some if this small rural provinces?
-
@Rapido The NZR rules don't say anything about eligibility for the NZ Heartland XV team, but this is a quote from stuff that I posted earlier, which gives an idea of which players from the Heartland competition are eligible :
Loan players and 'players of origin', are not available for selection in the NZ Heartland side, along with players who have represented other national [teams] at either sevens or 15-aside.
The NZR Competitions Regulations Handbook (2016) does contain player eligibility rules for the domestic competitions (in addition to those of World Rugby). This is the part relevant to the Heartland Championship and overseas players:

Matt Fetu (South Canterbury) is on stand by.Ahead of their assembly in Auckland next week, Rutene said the players were excited with the challenge ahead of them. “Opportunities like this don’t come around every day. We are calling this our Test match, it’s the biggest game our Heartland team has played. It’s against a passionate and proud international side and it’s at Eden Park. Both teams can look forward to that.”

Nigel Walsh named 2021 New Zealand Heartland XV Head Coach
Following a year hiatus due to COVID-19, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has today confirmed the New Zealand Heartland XV will be back in 2021, with South Canterbury’s Nigel Walsh named as Head Coach.
Joining Walsh at the helm as Assistant Coach is Steelform Whanganui Assistant Coach, Jason Hamlin, who is the second Whanganui coach to be involved with the team since its establishment in 1988.
NZR also confirmed the appointment of Mid Canterbury’s Tony Harrison as Team Manager. Harrison is no stranger to the New Zealand Heartland XV, having previously managed the team in 2016 and 2017.The 2021 New Zealand Heartland team will be named next month, following round eight of the Bunnings Heartland Championship. Pending COVID-19 Alert Levels, the 2021 side will assemble in Taupo on 2 December, where they’ll take part in a five-day camp, culminating in a fixture against New Zealand Barbarians on Sunday 5 December.
I'm keen to find out what kind of players will be selected for that Barbarians side. Also Heartland players? -

@cgrant I haven't been able to find eligibility rules for this team, but I think players who have played for national representative teams at higher levels (ABs, MABs(?), ABs 7s) are not allowed to play for this team. Ngarohi McGarvey-Black, who also plays for East Coast, hasn't been selected either., nor has Faifili Levave. In previous years, they also didn't select Corey Flynn (West Coast), Pire Weepu & Zac Guildford (Wairarapa Bush), Regan King (Mid-Canterbury) or Alby Mathewson (King Country), to name a few.
-
It looks like you needed to play for South Canterbury and Mid Canterbury to be selected.
-
-
Has anyone seen the NZ Barbarians squad? I see that 4 Waikato players have been selected for this team, two of which aren't in the main NPC squad.
-
@stargazer So a combination of young U20 players, non-SR players, and Bent.
Hopefully the game will be televised.
