Super Rugby Women's Competition

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae bloody good signing that.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Excellent.

[Bovidae]

In the article it also says that the squads are named later this week.

[Stargazer]

First announced Hurricanes signing, and what a great one!

Obviously drip feeding out these signings. Ruby T waved her contract at the camera when she was guesting on Breakdown weeks ago.

[Stargazer]

Chyna Hohepa has signed with the Chiefs.

[Stargazer]

[Bovidae]

I was hoping that Semple would be part of the Chiefs coaching team. Let's see how many Waikato players join him at the Blues.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae Chelsea Alley is his partner so.....

Yeah, I know.

Chelsea is part of the Chiefs promotions so I doubt she is going anywhere. It will make conversations in the house interesting though.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae I'm reeeally hoping we don't lose her either. She breathes Waikato rugby. I've heard the stories about her playing with the boys back in the day because her school didn't have a girls team.

Chiefs team is stacked tbh. I'd expect them to walk over the competition. Only local women I'm gutted we missed out on is Esther Tilo-Faiaoga and Renee Holmes.

I'd rather Holmes than Brazier, as the latter doesn't like tackling. Bunting has selected as many of his sevens players as possible.

And where's Kelsey Teneti?

Some of the players who played for the Chiefs womens team this year aren't in any squad now.

[Bovidae]

No Jorja Miller either. Maybe they haven't selected either because of age.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae yeah Teneti is the other notable omission. Matatū still have 2 players to add so who knows.
