NZ Club Rugby 2023 ( General)

[Higgins]

Here is one close to my heart. I have spent innumerable hours in and around the Club's facilities and playing ground at Hataitai Park, particularly in the Isherwood Lounge (featuring an impressive amount of memorabilia on display) where a good selection of beautiful craft beers from local brewers, Waitoa Brewery, are available on tap and will be doing so again in a couple of weeks time! It starts by featuring Keith Quinn who, like him or not, recounts some rugby history.

Playing in Waikato club rugby tomorrow:

Jack Lam (Marist)
Simon Parker (Hautapu)
Atu Moli (Varsity)
Tepaea Cook-Savage (Fraser Tech) - I wonder if he will play NPC

[mikedogz]

Beaver having a run tomorrow for Waiuku who play in the Counties Championship grade. A few more Moana guys will be in Counties premier club rugby.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz Yeah, we have a few MP players returning to their club in Hawke's Bay as well, this weekend.

[Tim]

When was the last time Mahurangi got three wins in a season?

[Tim]

[Higgins]

@Tim Looks to be something wrong with the points table as there are a total of five draws, an impossibility given you need two teams to have a draw.

[Higgins]

@Tim What is with the points allotted under the title of "Adjust"? Is that because the referee does not spot any of the players taking their mouthguards out and sticking it in their socks or something else equally obscure?

[Tim]

@Higgins Might be something to do with defaulted games, as there have been some but that column is empty.

[Bovidae]

A TK Howden is playing at 6 for Melville in Waikato club rugby tomorrow.

Dan Sinkinson is on the bench.

A TK Howden is playing at 6 for Melville

And no longer appearing on his Manawatū club team sheet.

So moving to Waikato for the NPC? Possibly Chiefs, too?

No idea. Waikato has a few 6s to chose from. Opensides, not so much.

Jack Lam will be playing for Waihi in the Thames Valley today.

He will need games to push for Samoa selection and Hamilton Marist has a bye this round.

[Bovidae]

No story behind TK Howden playing in the Waikato, other than he has a connection to the Melville coach so has clearance to play for them for the rest of the season.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz That's awesome!

Edit: although I can't really see that's Ardie. I have to take his word for it.

Edit 2:

@Stargazer at the request of the AB selectors after seeing Beauds this weekend.
