South: Taylor, Coltman, ... Makalio (although his first province was - according to Wikipedia - Wairarapa-Bush, does Heartland count?)
Sorry, do you know where the 'rapa is? It ain't in the South Island!

that was his point...first top div team was in the south but if Heartland is included then the 'rapa is his first team

For North:
Hodgman on the bench at loosehead.
Rettalick isn't available. Goodhue to start. GCT is a bench option. Any other lock options? Not much depth.
ALB/Ioane is probably better than Laumape/ALB.
Robinson to start at six, Savea on the bench.
Black on the bench.
Must be a better option than Aso.
For South: Oli Jaeger is a tighthead not a loosehead.

@Tim Savea on the bench? Is this another joke of yours?
Didn't Hodgman play for Canterbury first aswell?

@Canes4life said in North vs South:

Yeah, Hodgman did. He replaces Jaeger.

@cgrant said in North vs South:
No Dalton Papali'i in your teams ? (no Luke Jacobson either ?).
"Chiefs flanker Luke Jacobson has been ruled out of the remainder of Super Rugby Aotearoa due to injury."
Might be a factor, timing wise.
I'd have Dalton on the bench, covers 6 and 7.

I would like to echo what other people say about the silly elibigility criteria. However, I don't see the point in this sort of game at all, whatever the criteria. We are already having each team playing 8 Super Rugby derbies in a row - do we really need more of the same. I would rather the players just have a rest and get into Mitre 10 Cup.
