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.

@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.

Does anybody know where to watch pre-season highlights?
