Wouldn't it be great if all provinces published a squad update like that?

But no Ralph Darling - retired?

[Yeetyaah]

@mikey07 we should know by now that the canes coaches have smooth brains

[Higgins]

@number-10 Maybe he can't get time off work. Nth Otago players are amateur it must be remembered.

[mikey07]

@number-10 Yeah he retired in 2019 I remember him taking a droppie in the final.

Just heard on the Breakdown:

Tomorrow, the draws for the NPC, FPC and Heartland will be announced.

And guess what, please, someone send some tranquilizers to our Ta$man faithful ....

Ta$man will get a Shield challenge .. if one of the other challengers hasn't grabbed the Shield before them, that is.

They also mentioned Waikato. I missed the rest.

[Yeetyaah]

@stargazer Ta$man haven't held the shield yet eh?

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah Not as Ta$man. According to Wikipedia (assuming that's correct), Marlborough held the Shield in 1973.

@stargazer in that 1973 challenge Marlborough winger Brian Ford scored one of the most unbelievable shield tries , running down the sideline , he ran 60 metres and left the then all black fullback Fergie McCormack in his wake ..

Got a similar one on the same ground two years later for South Island in the inter-island match when he got passed Joe Karam.
