I mentioned that an experienced 1st 5 will be needed, and Wharenui Hawera might be that player. He's the leading points scorer in Waikato club rugby, so is likely staying on this side of the Kaimai's.
Haven't you signed Josh Ioane?

I've no idea. I only mentioned that he would be a good pickup if staying in NZ. We'll see in a couple of weeks.
-
The ODT article after the Otago NPC side was named stated he is going to Waikato.
-
@SouthernMann OK, I hadn't seen that, only that Ioane wasn't returning to Otago.
Is there a link?

"He adds experience to a young backline after stalwart Josh Ioane signed with Waikato and Vilimoni Koroi is exploring new opportunities."

Thames Valley and King Country. Not sure if equivalent team or pre Season for Heartland. Counties B. I found the team on the mooloo site and the draw on the harlequins site.
They might be part of the competition run by the northern regions: https://www.sporty.co.nz/northernregionrep/

Last year the Chiefs Cup was played before the NPC squad was announced so a lot of U20 players and wider training squad players were involved in those pre-season games. That isn't the situation this year.
AFAIK Waikato didn't have a B team in 2022, or at least I never saw a team/fixture list.
