NPC - news, injuries etc

@Stargazer guess this year there wont be any need for them to squeeze in the weeks...could probably have tried out a full RR of everyone plays everyone
The other thing about it, is you assume ABs are likely to be involved a bit too, given right now, internationals up in the air.

The original 2020 draw has been removed from allblacks.com but it started on a Thu night.
Waikato still has their schedule listed and there was to be 10 games in the round robin over 10 weekends (Fri-Sun), so that could still apply when you add another 2 weeks for the SFs and final (total = 12 weeks).
Also, Sky no longer has to avoid clashes with their cricket coverage later in the year so can extend the rugby season if required.

@Chris-B The truth is that Canterbury hates you too!
I never thought that the Cantab fans could ever be out-Cantabed, but @Chris-B has proven me wrong.
My gloating campaign has been so successful that Mark Robinson is considering playing the ABs in the NPC for the first time in years - simply to stop me!

Care to name them (other than everyone else)? Just want to see the rocks thrown at you, and where they come from.

hateddisliked team.I quite liked Ta$man when they were initially formed, but, then @Chris-B mutated into a Ta$man version of a combination of Phooey/Canerby/all Press sports writers , they hired the Hammettuer, and they found a chequebook hidden somewhere.
Now, they're not quite at BoP/the Poo levels, but they're getting there.

As stated earlier, a full Mitre 10 Cup with semis and a final would have the season finish on 19 December which is far too late.

Fuck it, the players have had two months off already, with minimal training possible, so if they play SR Aoteroa and then play a full round robin NPC until a week before Xmas, who cares? Harden the fuck up. They'll then have a couple of weeks off, like the rest of us, and get back to work. Like the rest of us.
