2011 and 2015 our U20 team won and there were more than a few stars in the sides that were quick to move into the gaps left by departing players post world cup. 2019 side was 7th.

antipodean

@mofitzy_ I believe the players are still available. That side was poorly selected and coached IMO.

Duluth

Did any of the news sites provides a list of SR players by NPC province?

It doesn't say much about the top 3-4 sides but it is interesting to compare how many players the smaller provinces are producing

Stargazer

@Duluth I haven't seen an article that lists the provinces of the SR players, but looking at the official social media accounts of the provinces, there are numbers available. Wellington and Southland aren't clear, so I tried counting them myself.

Province - number of SR players
Auckland - 21
Bay of Plenty - 13
Canterbury - 27
Counties - 7 (including one, Kellaway, at the Rebels)
Hawke's Bay - 15 (including one, O'Connor, at the Sunwolves)
Manawatu - 7
Northland - 7
N Harbour - 15
Otago - 12
Southland - 2?
Taranaki - 16
Ta$man - 17
Waikato - 14
Wellington - 19?

I didn't include Lamborn in any of the teams.

@Stargazer The reigning national champions will also probably have Roach (Waratahs) and Uchida (Sunwolves).

Edit - also confirmation on the Mako Facebook site (from the admin) that Tim Perry has retired.

Bovidae

When are the Aust/SA/Sunwolves squads named? I know that the Brumbies have announced their squad but what about the others?

Stargazer

@Bovidae They don't have a particular date on which they publish the team lists; some are early (the ponies), some are very late. Same South Africa. The Sunwolves usually dripfeed their signings and sometimes even change the composition of their team during the season.

Machpants

Red looks pink to me!

Yeetyaah

In saying that, the Blues kit is just this years one teased so who knows?

You started winning shit the moment I parachuted across MF!

Then the Naki joined and it's been near and not so near misses ever since. Should have had the sweet heart deal with the Magpies!

What are you going to do if Hammer is part of Jamie Joseph's dream team - and appointed to the ABs? They've been on the same Highlanders, Sunwolves, Japan roundabout with Tony Brown so I wouldn't discount it.
