Matt Fetu (South Canterbury) is on stand by.Ahead of their assembly in Auckland next week, Rutene said the players were excited with the challenge ahead of them. โOpportunities like this donโt come around every day. We are calling this our Test match, itโs the biggest game our Heartland team has played. Itโs against a passionate and proud international side and itโs at Eden Park. Both teams can look forward to that.โ -

Nigel Walsh named 2021 New Zealand Heartland XV Head Coach
Following a year hiatus due to COVID-19, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has today confirmed the New Zealand Heartland XV will be back in 2021, with South Canterburyโs Nigel Walsh named as Head Coach.
Joining Walsh at the helm as Assistant Coach is Steelform Whanganui Assistant Coach, Jason Hamlin, who is the second Whanganui coach to be involved with the team since its establishment in 1988.
NZR also confirmed the appointment of Mid Canterburyโs Tony Harrison as Team Manager. Harrison is no stranger to the New Zealand Heartland XV, having previously managed the team in 2016 and 2017.The 2021 New Zealand Heartland team will be named next month, following round eight of the Bunnings Heartland Championship. Pending COVID-19 Alert Levels, the 2021 side will assemble in Taupo on 2 December, where theyโll take part in a five-day camp, culminating in a fixture against New Zealand Barbarians on Sunday 5 December.
I'm keen to find out what kind of players will be selected for that Barbarians side. Also Heartland players? -

Heartland XV v New Zealand Barbarians -
@cgrant I haven't been able to find eligibility rules for this team, but I think players who have played for national representative teams at higher levels (ABs, MABs(?), ABs 7s) are not allowed to play for this team. Ngarohi McGarvey-Black, who also plays for East Coast, hasn't been selected either., nor has Faifili Levave. In previous years, they also didn't select Corey Flynn (West Coast), Pire Weepu & Zac Guildford (Wairarapa Bush), Regan King (Mid-Canterbury) or Alby Mathewson (King Country), to name a few.

@bovidae said in New Zealand Heartland XV squad:
@stargazer So a combination of young U20 players, non-SR players, and Bent.
Hopefully the game will be televised.
