A sponsor. Farmlands is like RD1, rural supplies.

Logo at the top of the feed days 'farmlands cup' wtf is that? (.. 'When it's at home' maybe a UK/forces phrase, sorry)

[Machpants]

So there's a cup for the pre season game? That'll take pride of place on someone's cabinet

[Bovidae]

@Machpants I see this is the 5th year of the fixture.

The Farmlands Cup would certainly stand out in your trophy cabinet.

Interesting to see Bryn Hall kicking the conversions now. Cameron missed a lot of attempts.

It's 41 - 7 to the Crusaders with 10 minutes to go.

Full time: Highlanders 7 - 41 Crusaders

Scorers:
Highlanders - Rob Thompson try; Mitchell Hunt con; YC - James Lentjes
Crusaders - Leicester Fainga'anuku 2x, Will Jordan, Michael Ala'alatoa, Fetuli Paea, Braydon Ennor, Tom Sanders tries; Brett Cameron, Bryn Hall 2x con

It's very hard to say anything about this game due to the bad quality stream. I understand from the commentary that Bryn Hall had a big impact when he came on. Going by what I've seen last week and the little bit today, I expect big things from Leicester Fainga'anuku.

@Stargazer He's a decent enough goalkicker. Was the main goalkicker for St Peter's at schoolboy level and even did a bit for North Harbour in the last year or 2.

I saw Tom Sanders walking along Montreal street last Thursday evening. He is a big unit. I hope he will have a complete season without injury.
