NZ U19s

@Stargazer said in NZ U19s:
@Bovidae Also good to add that some of our best players in this age category aren't in the squad because they're playing NPC.
Is it typical that NPC takes precedence over this? I know what I'd rather do as a 19yr old!

Just remembered there's a provision about precedence in the Competitions Regulations Handbook. It looks like this hasn't been updated for a while, because it still names the Junior AB's as our "next senior national representative team" and not the All Blacks XV, but I assume the rest hasn't changed. It also doesn't mention the NZ U19, of course, but I guess it's the same rank as the NZ U20 team.

@Stargazer I understand WP have a squad of 30 players for the game. My pleasure for the link
Superschools was our go to link for all our schoolboy sport from u7-u18 during lockdown.
They put up cameras on the A field from the first to the last game
-
@OomPB So the 3:30am time we were given by You tube was very wrong!
-
@Daffy-Jaffy ja sorry. NZ u19s look like big men. WP totally lost. I don't even know the players.
-
@OomPB Commentators said that the local team was thrown together 4 days ago and that WP's top players weren't available. I wonder why? Was SA schools or u19 in camp or playing? The WP 9 that moved to 10 was good but was playing them on his own at times. Loved the starting NZ midfield, power at 12 with pace at 13. Not much quality defence going on though so I hope tougher tests will come.

@Daffy-Jaffy our schoolboy season ended in August. The grade 12s end exams starts now. They are u18s.
NZ u19s would have better games against our CC u21s which season is now half way.

Probably knew they were going to be trounced so backed out.
No reason at all not to have the best (U19) players available. They've known about this fixture since July.

I haven't watched the game yet but NZR still didn't publish a team list before the game. Amateurs.
Edit: There seems to be a new name (F. Sa) in the team list, so he must have replaced another player in the squad. Cahill the captain for this game.

Fiti Sa (Crusaders Academy)
Don't know yet who he has replaced or whether he's an extra player added to the squad.
