North vs South

[Tim]

@Machpants delay the game.

[KiwiMurph]

I wonder if they might look at playing it mid-week if they were to delay it.

There's not going to be any fans in the stands anyway and that way your less disruptive to upcoming Mitre 10 Cup.

Nope cos Mitre 10 Cup

[Tim]

@Machpants This is more important.

How so? This is a nothing game with no meaning to it. Who cares if North or South win?

[Kiwiwomble]

@Hooroo agreed, its an exhibition game with a couple of match ups the selectors might be interesting in

[Tim]

@Hooroo It might be the only NZ rep rugby we get this year. A lot more important than some players being available for NPC training.

I disagree. I'm no fan of NPC nowadays but would watch a Waikato game before this mish mash of players. They may as well split them alphabetically and call it the "Real Neat Rugby Match"

[Tim]

@Hooroo You don't even watch Waikato games, as you've claimed several times in the past.

[Tim]

BTW, the Mitre 10 Cup isn't scheduled to start until the 11th, so there's plenty of time.

Which highlights how little this mickey mouse game means.

[Tim]

@Hooroo To an outlier.

[Kiwiwomble]

sad i seem to be in a minority, i still love the NPC....the results not so much...but its cool seeing the connections between First XV -> Club -> NPC

First XV -> Club -> NPC

that only happens in the shit teams like ours. The good teams like @Chris-B 's mob and the Cantabs just buy in who they want

Apart from the tragics on here, I don't know anyone that is looking forward to it.

Next time they should do it on the common colours of Jerseys a player played his 10th local representative club game for.

EDIT: and to make it even more micky mouse, Aucklanders can't play in it as it stands curently.

[mariner4life]

@Hooroo in all seriousness, if the Auckland players aren't able to participate, then call it off.

To even consider playing it without them shows how meaningless it is.

Or at least delay it.

Can't, NPC.

OOOps! There's the circle!

The game also needs to be played in front of a crowd as one of the main reasons for having a NI vs SI game was to generate income for NZR. So even if the game is moved to Wellington they need to be at L1.
