UNDER 85KG NATIONAL CLUB CUP

[scribe]

I played in the Akl comp back in 1994/95. They also had an U77kg grade. It was quite well policed with a flying squad doing the rounds each Saturday to randomly weigh players.

@mariner4life said in UNDER 85KG NATIONAL CLUB CUP:

U85 rugby is such an incredible concept and i am all for anything that furthers it.

In the late 90s/early 2000s when players started getting bigger and bigger, how many people would have just quit the game? Anything that keeps people playing code is a good thing and should be pushed at every opportunity

I ditched prem rugby for my last season to be with Eastbourne in my last year in NZ and fuck it was good. So much harder than I thought it was gonna be and actually set me up for being a crash bash midfielder in the UK. Plus breaking the line and getting chased down by props suuuucks.

@mikedogz ok what kind of ringers have NP called in!

[mikedogz]

They don't have an existing 85's comp so it is probably all of the good little guys in the province, not just the club.

@Bones Didn't Tukapa make the final either last year or the year before that?

@mikedogz bloody naki. Tukapa even roped me in to run out for them a couple of times.

Apropos to nothing i reckon the last time I qualified to play under 85s I'd have been in 6th form ... 38 years ago ...
