NPC 2022

Bigger picture on the Mako website:
Mako NPC Squad for 2022 named — Tasman Mako
The 2022 Tasman Mako team to play in the Bunnings Warehouse NPC will again be co-captained by Mitch Hunt and Quinten Strange.
-
That Canterbury team looks a lot closer to full strength than the Ta$man one - though we've got some of our bigger guns on the bench.
A few out for Canterbury
Bridge
Ennor.
Matale
Drummond
Grace
Prinsep
Harmon
Romano
Williams
Jager
McAlisterAll will be in the top 23
Canterbury looking pretty stacked this year - will be much more of a threat to win it all this year, assuming the coaching has improved.
Do you know what happened in this game? I've only seen Stargazer's halftime score and a guy on the Mako facebook page saying he went home at halftime because it was 40-0. I'd imagine the bloodbath continued!!
Frizell was down to play the 2nd half, but I presume he would have been elsewhere? Wonder how much rugby he's played in recent weeks?
p.s. Among the comments on the team announcement on the Mako page is a link to a livestream (I presume it's real) - you need to create an account so I didn't bother. In case anyone is interested.

No I don't know much Mate about the Game just what I heard the Canterbury played really well and were fired up under the new coaching structure,
But that is coming from a Canterbury view point.The score surprised me as both teams had a heap of players missing. -
@Chris-B I also posted the full time score.
@Stargazer said in NPC 2022:
Full time:
Canterbury 69 - 7 Ta$manAnd that link goes to a phising site, asking for all your personal details.
The game wasn't livestreamed. The Mako instagram showed snippets. -

It's Ta$man and perhaps their players loyalty does not stretch as far as playing mere preseason games for free.

@antipodean will always have a soft spot for counties mainly due to liking Nanai-Williams growing up

Never a counties supporter, but they did play some attractive rugby for a while there.
-
@antipodean that Rey lee-lo & Bundee Aki midfield hit different

-
@taniwharugby $18 for an Otago team that features TUJ, Gilbert, Nareki etc. is well worth a punt I reckon, at the same time underdog status does us just fine
-
@taniwharugby Taranaki and Hawke's Bay too low, Canterbury and Wellington too high on that list.
-
@Stargazer they always are, canterbury probably a bit low...while Northlands odds to win, should be higher, as we will never win, just the way it is, but, the squad on paper is considerably better than that
-
@taniwharugby Josh Moorby might be top try scorer!
-
-
@FakatavaAllBlack one can only hope....
