The opening two rounds of the Farah Palmer Cup will not go ahead as scheduled, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has announced today. The North pool of the premier women’s competition was due to kick off next Saturday 22 August, with North Harbour hosting Waikato, Counties Manukau playing Bay of Plenty and Northland hosting Taranaki. NZR Head of Women’s Rugby Cate Sexton said: “With Auckland-based teams unable to train or host matches for the next 12 days due to Level 3 restrictions, the decision has been made not to start the competition next weekend. "We’ll now discuss with Provincial Unions and the Players Association around the different options for revising the draw. The Farah Palmer Cup is an exciting competition and we know our teams and fans are looking forward to it getting underway.” The Farah Palmer Cup will be played in two pools split geographically with Northland, North Harbour, Auckland, Counties Manukau, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki making up the seven-team North pool and Manawatu, Hawke’s Bay, Wellington, Ta$man, Canterbury and Otago in the South pool. -

@taniwharugby Good squad with several Black Ferns and Black Ferns 7s players. Noticeable omission is talented youngster Savannah Bodman, who showed much promise last year. Attending uni and in one of the main centre squads, like some of the other small province talent?

QBE Harbour Hibiscus Squad:
Forwards: Olivia Ward-Duin, JayJay Taylor, Shawn Lomu, Finesa Makasini, Toa Filimoehaha, Lynn Koleman, Daniela Haigh, Amy Robertshaw, Clementine Varea, Anita Berry, Sophie Fisher, Caroline Sio, Tearren Nanjan, Manutalaaho Huni, Brooke Ellison, Kate Williams (c), Pia Tapsell, Tenaija Fletcher, Jess Delany.
Backs: Hailey Beale, Anna Powdrell, Tamea Te Rauna, Hailey Hutana, Olivia Waldron, Renee Adams, Mikayla Robinson, Zakiya Kereopa, Danielle Mellow, Latisha Trigwell-Achmad, Mollie Tagaloa, Losi Mafi, Phoenix Littin.
North Harbour Rugby Union
The North Harbour Rugby Union was formed in 1985 and during this time has developed a reputation for playing colourful and entertaining rugby through all grades
So that's where Hawke's Bay's Anna Powdrell has ended up! I think this must be Hailey Hutana's third squad after Manawatu and Ta$man? The big name is, no doubt, Black Fern Pia Tapsell. Also rookie BF Liv Ward-Duine. One Dutch test player: Lyn Koleman.
