Auckland v Wellington
-
O'Reilly at hooker. Is that the only difference?
-
@nzzp same as posted above.

@Canes4life thanks
Tribe didn't have it, I googled and couldn't find it, and wasn't sure if it had actually been confirmed or not.
Obviously I missed it. When do they name them (all at the same time)?
-
The Auckland team was on the NPC site (provincial.rugby) yesterday but not confirmed by Auckland until today
There wasn't an exact time for team naming like in SR. However most teams seemed to come out today between 2pm & 2:30pm
No idea if they'll keep that up

Naming your team on Thursday for a wednesday game might prove problematic.
3D chess! Confuse the opposition!

I saw a post on Bunningsnpc IG page earlier saying
Team namings 2pm Thursdays | 2pm Tuesdays* | Friday 2pm*
*Storm week teams -
Interested to see how Harford goes. There was loads of hype about him a few years ago.. I guess those people have to say he's shit now because he moved North
I remember him having a few good moments but always thought the chat was way over the top. He did look good in the Blues preseason, although I think that was at fullback.
This will only be his 6th NPC start

Was there hype? I remember some people, and I was one of them, thinking he looked as though he had some tools that may be useful at Super level.
I guess it's a good sign for him that another set up outside of Canterbury see him as good enough for their NPC squad. I hope he does well.

@Crazy-Horse There were some people on here mentioning in All Blacks threads

Really? I suppose that's not surprising though given both the Highlander 10s were mentioned this year.

@African-Monkey Probably him. I consider him the thought leader of the Cantabs
Harford also got the TJ love in the commentary

Yeah Harford is a good player and one that Canterbury let walk. Crusaders didn’t have him around so blues have taken a shot and looks like he’s decided to remain there for club and NPC. Slightly different 10 than you’d expect but definitely has the skills to be a big contributor. Loves taking on the line. Wouldn’t be shocked if he remains at 10 whenever Plummer is unavailable. In saying that, I have no idea where Auckland see Sullivan playing so all of a sudden Harford could be your third choice 10. Spoiled for choice!
-
@Duluth O’Reilly ruled out with injury so that list you posted above was correct. Apisai comes onto the bench. 🤮
-
I’m interested to see how Tanielu Tele’a goes at 12. Only ever seen him used on the wing or 13. Him up against the bus, 2 big lads.
