Remarkable effort by Sth Canterbury to rustle up a team and make it to Tauranga in time considering they did not even play yesterday. What happened here, did one of the teams get out on the turps last night and create havoc resulting in them being turfed out of the tournemant?

Haha, the organisers are trying very hard to post all the results, but with a few mistakes. I corrected most of them before posting them here, but missed this one! Obviously, it's Canterbury, not South Canterbury.
I'm glad you're paying attention!

@Stargazer I guess Hannah Brough moved back to Counties

@Stockcar86 It may be temporary. Several players were playing for another province than their NPC team. We had Teilah Ferguson back from Otago, but I'm sure she'll be studying in Dundedin again in 2020 and probably play for Otago Spiriti in the NPC.
Our women's team was missing several players; it's a pity that they didn't do well after such a good Central Zone tournament.

Condor Sevens
The dates for the Condor Sevens have been announced:
Thu 10 - Fri 11 December 2020: Open boys & girls (seniors)
Sat 12 - Sun 13 December 2020: U15 boys & girls (juniors)
Normally, the seniors would play on the weekend and the juniors on Thursday and Friday, but because - due to Covid-19 - several tournaments had to be squeezed into one weekend (because of changed NCEA examination dates), they have swapped the dates for the seniors and juniors, to allow students to play at multiple events.

RED BULL IGNITE7 RETURNS WITH EXCITING NEW FORMAT
Red Bull Ignite7 breaks new ground again in 2020 as the country’s leading sevens players go head to head this December.
New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has today announced that contracted sevens players will join the Bolt, Surge, Inferno and Power teams alongside more than 60 emerging sevens players for the third annual tournament.
A live draft event on Monday 30 November will see eight captains, including Tim Mikkelson, Scott Curry and Sarah Hirini, pick their playing squads in a three-round draft, broadcast on SKY.
Teams will then assemble for one week in Tauranga before a two-day tournament at Blake Park on 5-6 December.
“The opportunity to evolve the Red Bull Ignite7 concept to include our contracted players alongside the next generation of stars is new for us. The proposition of senior players being charged with picking their teams means we have something completely different on our hands.
“The other element of this which is also really exciting is it will grow our leaders as they will have to think about how to build an environment as their team prepares to perform.
Talent identification to confirm the wider playing group is underway and expected to feature several Farah Palmer Cup and Mitre 10 Cup players. All players will be given training support in the lead up to the tournament before assembly in December.
This will be the first sevens tournament for the World Series-winning All Black Sevens and Black Ferns Sevens since the beginning of 2020 and kick starts the playing schedule in the lead up to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
The teams are hopeful for some Oceania based tournaments at the start of 2021 before the World Series is re-instated.

I will be heading along to this. Close friends have had their daughter selected to participate. She's only 16 so is likely to be a 13th player in one of the teams but a top achievement to get identified and selected all the same, especially considering that she has been noticed playing in a bit of a backwater as far as rugby goes.
