@Bovidae said in Heartland Championship - news:
Having a look at the East Coast squad I see that Josh Coffin is a loan player. He's previously played for King Country. Also Joe Royal is another loan player.
Joe Royal has been around a bit hasn't he? Wasn't he with a few teams before Counties-Manakau? He actually got a fill in run with Moana Pasifika too didn't he? And is Joe Coffin a relation to Joe the prop (I think) that was around a few years back? Will be interesting to see a few Heartland games live on sky this season too.
