The men don't play, but the women won't be able to play in the final unless they move ASAP.

I have heard that the Waikato teams have moved to be based in Cambridge.

The Airport is in Waipa so they can fly from there.

They could train at St Peters.

[mikedogz]

@bovidae That's where they are, going by someone's comment on Facebook.

Yalden is a Whanganui man so no guesses which team he wants Cane to play for.

[mikedogz]

King Country or the Swamp foxes I reckon

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Two Heartland teams in the Chiefs catchment (if that's what they use to choose the team he'll play for), King Country and Thames Valley. Thames Valley play West Coast (away), so probably the King Country game a better choice.

I presume that time has run out for the 3 Auckland teams now?

Last week NZR was talking about an Oct 15th return if levels changed today. So I guess we’ll get an announcement soon

[Duluth]

Clutching at straws here..

If levels changed in two weeks perhaps those three teams can just play home & away against each other?
At least that would give them all 4 'friendly' matches

I'm sure NZR was waiting for today's announcement as the current NPC draw is only until this coming round.

[Stargazer]

@duluth Yeah, I've been thinking about that possibility, too. Gives the players some game time and "exposure".

KC haven't won a game so far and I don't see this changing, even with Cane.

@bovidae

Pffffft!.... it's only Whanganui.
A fair exchange given that fine Taumarunui product, Josh Lord, is now joining the AB's.

[Bovidae]

@pepe So Owhango is within the KC provincial boundary?
