Waikato 2020
-
@Yeetyaah Someone said that Price is back in BOP. He isn't playing Waikato club rugby.
After checking Dr. Google, other players selected for Waikato in the CCC earlier in the year were:
Tom Martin (based in Wellington)
Kieran Westlake (no.8)
Mateo Taiseni (hooker)
Vainikolo Halafihi (loose forward)
Liam Coombes-Fabling (wing/fullback)
Tepaea Cook-Savage (1st 5/fullback)
Paula Mahe (outside back) -
@NateHill74 That's right. Forgot about him....for good reason.
Thomson will be used as a lock so our props better get used to no pushing.
-
Tudreu was amongst the top try-scorers so must have only played the early part of the club season with Marist.
I've seen a little bit of Wrampling for the NZ Schools and St Paul's last year. He is a midfielder but is playing on the wing for HOB. He has size and speed.
Anyone else in with a chance?

Chiefs Country Centurion Cup.
The Centurion Cup will see Chiefs Country Provincial Unions Bay of Plenty, Counties Manukau, Taranaki and Waikato play a quadrangular competition in Hamilton, as curtain raisers to the Gallagher Chiefs home matches at FMG Stadium Waikato.
Waikato beat BOP in the final before the Chiefs vs Brumbies game.

@Yeetyaah said in Waikato 2020:
@Bovidae where did Tyler Campbell go?
He was in the China Lions squad for Rapid Rugby. So maybe he's moved to BOP?
He's from the Gold Coast, isn't he? So another possibility is that he's gone back to Aussie?
Or injured again. -
@Stargazer I did wonder if Campbell had returned to Aust. We'll see if he turns up in the BOP squad.
Here is the Waikato team that played BOP. I included some players based on their selection in this team. Exclude Stevenson as some Chiefs players were released to play for each of the 4 provinces.
