    Gotta say this could be one of the best NPC in my lifetime and if @sparky is correct and we end up with no opposition for the ABs it will be even better.

    I think there will be at least a couple of tests against the Aussies in 2020. Looks like the rumoured Pacific Team game has been pulled. God knows about 2020 Rugby Championship.

    Agree about NPC. It will be great to see top All Blacks with their provinces for a little bit.

    so games will have 'bubbles' of people in attendance.

    Northland with 6 bubbles x 100, reckon that will be the lowest attendance I can remember, I do recall a game with sideways rain on a Thursday night where we wouldnt have had much more, maybe 1,000-1,500, was in the early years of Ta$man where we won 9-3, be smallest crowd I have seen previously.

    An interesting fact:

    After the first season of the competition split in 2011, there have been eight different Championship winners in eight years.

    Yeah there's very little between the top of div2 and bottom of div1.

    It's really easy to drop from div1 and teams that have dropped generally don't bounce straight back up

    Despite 8 different winners I believe Northland, Southland & Otago have never been up

    @Duluth I think Waikato is the only province to gain promotion the season after being relegated. Wellington and Taranaki failed to do that. It took Wellington 2 seasons and Taranaki didn't even make the SFs in their first season in the Championship last year.

    @Bovidae

    That really cost Wellington too

    In 2017 I think they were clearly the best of the 14 teams but they were stuck in the lower div so couldn't get a real title

    @Duluth at least we are consistent 😞

    Konia may be in his first season as head coach, he has been involved with Northland for the past 2 seasons and a stint previously as well as Assistant Coach

    They are under the usual contract - so they’ll miss the odd game here and there for no good reason.
