@Bovidae That squad naming is only for the two Laurie O'Reilly tests against Australia (20 and 27 August), I think.
That's why I said "first". Whether the players will be released back to their provinces after those 2 tests is unknown, as it would only be for the SF and final.
I would expect that they go into camp a week or so beforehand.
It won't be too different a squad to the final RWC one I think. The 'trials' have finished.

I assume that Miller cant be back to full fitness yet after her knee op. No sign of her in the Cantabs.
That Waikato team is very strong where it counts (front row, halves and fullback) with plenty of quality around that. Hard to see them not being around at the end.
I'm following BoP this year and they have the bye first round. First game is against the Poo (who have a very tough first game for newcomers from the Championship. Talk about diving in at the deep end) -

Waikato bt 'Poo as expected but the score wasn't a blow out.
I watched the game on and off. Waikato started well but made a lot of handling errors, forced passes and had a misfiring lineout. Manawatu led 18-5 at HT. Waikato was much more direct in the 2nd half and used their big props to rumble over. The commentators said Wayne Smith was there and gave two-try scorer Awhina Tangen-Wainohu a pat on the back when she left the field late. She could be a bolter for the BFs. The Poo are a good team.

Another Hawke's Bay product that got away.
