@canes4life said in All Blacks 2021:
@stargazer at this late stage it will be a logistical nightmare won’t it?
That’s the way it is and always will be. The big unions will always rise to the top when they have all their All Blacks. Hawkes Bay have enough talent to match it with the big teams though so I wouldn’t be too disheartened if the NPC (with All Blacks) goes ahead.
I think it will be great for NZ rugby aslong as the fans get behind their provinces.
Take the Naki for example, imagine if they get a full season with all three Barrett’s on the park. It would be great.
Yes please I would go to that

@mackerzzzz Faiane, Manu, Tele'a, Tu'ungafasi and Tusitala aren't with us anymore. Tele'a is with Counties, Ofa is with Northland, and the other 3 are overseas.
Whetton might not be with us either.

Sorry I missed alb. Taukei'aho doesn't count becuase he wasn't in rugby championship squad
But along with Christie and Bower is part of the extended AB squad for the RC.

This info was news to me.
Next year NZ Rugby is to rigidly enforce a nationwide salary cap of $950,000 without any jiggery-pokery, such as third-party deals. About time too.
The article says that Manawatu's salary total is about $900K, so I expect many of the larger provinces will have to make a significant reduction in player payments.

Wow. I did not know that game was on ! Anyone know anything about Onisis Ratave ?
-
@snollygoster Looks like the regulation Fijian winger that nearly all teams need! The left winger on the other hand might not have the toe to score a 95metre runaway try.

@stargazer Counties must be pretty confident about the outcome as they have only named nine (plus one A. N. Other) bench players to take on the 15 named starters by BoP. Might be a spot of bother if any of those 15 need replacing unless of course the bus driver and video analysist are pressed into service.
