has Bryn evans signed on anywhere for the NPC?
-
@kiwiwomble Yes, with his home province!
-
@stargazer good, he was in too good a form to F off back overseas
-
@stargazer The Cook Islands must be pretty strong on the wings if the traditional Fijian can only make the number 25 jersey!
-
Result: Ta$man Mako HP XV 31 - 24 Cook Islands
-
Anyone know when the official squads are being announced? Obviously Otago have announced theirs - is it just completely random as to when these announcments are made?

I don't think NZ Rugby care enough at this level to standardise it, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure it is just whenever the individual unions feel like it. There are normally a couple who haven't even named their squad a week before their first game.
-
@canes4life Auckland normally name their's in the week after the club final (played the Saturday after this week's).

@canes4life This is all I could find. From the Competition Regulations:

I feel sorry for the Cook Islands I can’t see them beating Samoa or Tonga to progress to the Asia/Pacific Repecharge.

Southland is fast becoming Otago B.
Sione Misiloi Makes Move To SIT Zero Fees Southland Stags
Highlander and former Otago NPC player Sione Misiloi has signed with the SIT Zero Fees Southland Stags for the 2021...
-
@southernmann its probably whats needed for the two regions to competes with those northerners, more movement between to support each other
-
@kiwiwomble Or, Otago has over the years signed several players from the north (some via Uni) so they can now afford to "share" a few with Southland. And they got Nu'u from Southland in return.
I think calling Southland Otago B is a bit patronising tbh. Just like Otago, they get players from all over the country.
-
@stargazer chill
I was just joking around, thought the use of the term "those northerners" kind of gave it away
everyone knows otago is just hawkes bay B
