The idea the Force have a heritage jersey is ridiculous.
Yet, it’s the best heritage jersey I’ve seen for a long time.
I think it’s good that they acknowledge rugby existed before Super.
Edit: Agree with @Bovidae though that the yellow 1992 jersey would have been good to see.

less ridiculous than a team that has a grand history of 2 games?
The Force wasn't created out of a club, or subsequently an amalgamation. Its only history of note in the competition is to be kicked out for a while.
Even RugbyWA knows what's up:

@kiwiwomble MP have a heritage jersey:
Edit: it looks like they're the only franchise in NZ, at the moment, with a special jersey..
-
@mariner4life Literally forgot they were in the comp.
You look at the comp as a whole and it appears it's been inbreeding for a few generations compared to the glory days.

Some of those odds are remarkably flattering IMO.
Caveat: Not a bookmaker nor a professional punter.

Wasn't the Friday 15th game Highlanders v Hurricanes?
Yes, but they made two changes. Originally Chiefs vs MP was April 15, then moved to April 16 to give both teams another day after the April 12 (Tuesday) game which is no longer happening. Highlanders vs Hurricanes moved to the Friday.
-
But the Crusaders v Blues is now on the 15th
Friday, 15 April: Crusaders v Blues, Orangetheory Stadium, Christchurch, 7.05pm – Postponed from Round 5
I think both the games you mentioned are now on the 16th but they missed a line in the updates?
-
@kiwimurph moana have the canes x2 , blues x2 , highlanders & chiefs all ahead of them over the course of the next 23 days wowee!
-
@fakatavafuture I guess the positive is that when they face those Aussie teams they will be battle hardened.

It's getting complicated as Chiefs vs MP was 7:05 pm but is now 4:35 pm according to above. That means the 7:05 pm on Sat is open, presumably the Highlanders vs Hurricanes game. Too many schedule changes.

Why can't MP and Canes for example play a cactch up when the TT part of comp is on?

Comps a bloody shambles, not sure if you'll get postponed or what day a game will be shifted to.

You realise that its better than cancelling and that players can't play because they are sick?
I think its great the NZR are being agile on this.

I dont mind a bit of a bet, The Drua look good for me for an upset.
Havent spent alot of time watching Welly, are they 30.5 points better than Moana Pasifika? -

Havent spent alot of time watching Welly, are they 30.5 points better than Moana Pasifika?I wouldn't think so. But then you only have to look at my tipping record to qualify that advice.
(agree on the Drua)
