Mel Bosman brings a wealth of experience to the role having played in two Rugby World Cups and making almost two decades worth of provincial appearances.

The addition of World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year Ruby Tui headlines the Counties Power Counties Manukau Heat squad named for the Farah Palmer Cup.
Aotearoa Matau, meanwhile, looms as a key figure in the Heat forward pack. She is one of three players in the squad along with fullback Hazel Tubic and Arihiana Marino-Tauhinu boasting Black Ferns experience alongside international sevens star Tui.

@Stargazer Leilani Perese ?

Looking at the previews for Auckland, and North Harbour - Olivia Waldron (First-Five) is named in both squads. Anyone know which team she's actually playing for ?
-
@NateHill74 Haha, that's gold!
There was also confusion about former Hawke's Bay forward Hannah Brough. According to the preview for Waikato, she is now in the Waikato squad, but that's not her (that Hannah Brough is a back)! Where she is now: at Counties Manukau, as their new physio!
-
@Stargazer so there's 2 Hannah Brough's ?
-
@NateHill74 Yes!
