Ha! Take that you poxy little island at the bottom of the world.
Us, the poxy little island at the bottom of the world???!!!
We, my friend, are the jewel of the Southern Ocean, while you guys inhabit the plague island!!! Christ half of your team has been declared a public health risk, yellow flagged and placed in a quarantine colony.
We cannot be sure that bits won't fall off them when they're tackled.
South vs The Lepers Invitational XV!
I thought that the invitational 15 were based in Nelson anyway?
Ahhh.
I don't know.
We give you guys our elite agen... err... coaches, and still we have to listen to Nepia's kool aid parroted!

Got say we are quite pleased with that "purchase" up here though. Just quietly.
He must have done a good job.
Even @rotated has stopped banging on about his preference for Coventry!

@Machpants BB isn't the one and only 10. They've just hidden Mitch Hunt in the list of the outside backs.
Foxy about 2.50 in.
Talks about selections, including back up 10. First name mentioned wasn't Hunt.
Sorry. Seems that link didn't pick up the time.
Was 19:30 on Tuesday.

When I listed a NI and SI team based on 1st XV school Tokolahi was the only player that moved islands, and he isn't in either squad anyway.
Sweet. I would find it harder to get behind, mainly because I couldn't give a shit about secondary school.

-
@taniwharugby I think he means moving Islands to go to another school.
-
@taniwharugby Yeah, there are plenty of examples of that, and vice versa. But there aren't many who move schools from NI to SI, or SI to NI. Mils is a recent example.

@Bovidae @Stargazer ah my bad, only read a few posts and missed that bit

My 2c regarding school as the qualifier.
I really REALLY hate this recent concentration on school rugby. And it's really recent.
They're kids. Should be allowed to stay kids. And not be fluffed to become Instagram superstars.
Teenagers do not need any more smoke blown up their arse.
Any initiative that adds to the artificial PR machine that is schools rugby should be bombed from orbit.
Schools rugby should be bombed from orbit.

And I forgot to mention how bullshit it is that Old Boys, Boards and Principals are trying to buy favour by artificially displaying how good their 1st XV is on national tele.
It's unethical and quite distasteful.
-
But on a positive note: I love the North v South concept.
