Still a close comp imo. No clear favourite in the Premiership.
-
@Stargazer Going to be interesting as the season closes, no doubt. Harbour could well upset Auckland.
-
-
@Stargazer Fair play! You guys look like you'll be favs!
BTW, James Parsons mentioned Flanders as a possible bolter for the All Blacks wider travelling group to Australia.
-
@Tim It would surprise if that's the case, considering who are already there. I think someone like Boshier has a better chance, but it would be an awesome experience for Flanders, if true. I've no doubt he'll be an All Black in the next year or two.

The coaches seem to give wings (NMS, Reece) and loosies (The Tongan, Jacobson) meteoric rises to the ABs so it could happen.
I'm torn, don't want it for the Magpies, but would be good for him.

Just as long as they don't take our beautiful boy Choat.

Choat was good today, but can't say I've noticed him enough to know whether he'd be in the frame.

@Stargazer I'm picking Wellington to make the top four as they only have to play one more prem side in Ta$man and that's at their home away from home in Porirua.
Anything can eventuate when you take into account the prem games to come:
Canterbury still have BOP, Auckland, Ta$man after their game against Waikato tomorrow.
Ta$man sill have Wellington and Canterbury
Auckland still have Waikato, North Harbour and Auckland
Waikato have Auckland and BOP after their game against Canterbury tomorrow.This must be the closest finals run for some time.

He is very good but I'd prefer Tom Robinson.

@Canes4life Wellington also has to play Hawke's, for a likely RS challenge. That will be as difficult as playing a Prem team with the shield on the line.

Can’t wait too see that game between Auckland v Auckland, you were’nt look at Northlands draw were you ..?

@Steven-Harris haha good spotting.

@Canes4life not to worry it’s nothing compared to some the senior moment stuff I’ve posted ..😂

I currently have the following players on my list; who am I missing? It has been proven hard to follow all the injuries in Mitre 10 Cup. Can you help?
