Bovidae

Some clashes with both tests in Australia this week, so decisions on what to watch live (NPC or international rugby).

Grooter

@Bovidae I must watch Otago they're on a roll but TUJ is out for two weeks.. it will be another nervous watch as we play the other top of the pool team Auckland

Stargazer

@Bovidae For me it's easy. The Magpies' Ranfurly Shield game comes first; then test matches. Then the rest tof the NPC.

@Kiwiwomble Do you mean to tell me that The Baabaas Invitational Chequebook XV have been scheduled for a challenge two years in a row? What's @Chris-B going to whine about now?

TBH, if we have to lose it this year then I'd want to lose it this weekend. I'd rather Harbour take it than Southland, Wellington or the Baabaas.

@Nepia The massive injustice of the 2010s can never be corrected!

more should be made of this each week, teams "knocked out" of the running to end up with it at the end of the season, some teams have several ways to end up with it, looks like Otago only has one but we need two other teams (counties and manawatu) to win it first

@Kiwiwomble thanks for posting that.

So I need to be cheering for Harbour this week.

@Kiwiwomble so there is zero chance we get a shot, think we are the only ones not on that as a possibility?

@Stargazer this is another thing we could make a bigger deal, like the coleman, brownlow and norm smith medals in the AFL

Kiwiwomble

quick math....Otago still only have one AB?...bugger

Fakatava overlooked again. Hopefully, he's among the players who will be released, but I doubt it.

@Stargazer 😔

He is the future not Christie, disappointing he is not getting chances.
