    I’ve barely got a first team let alone a second one.

    Went to uni in Dunners so it was always the Landers. But I've lived in AKL for so long now it's a tie with the Blues. Which isn't really saying much

    Pains me to say it. The Crusaders. Just not much likeable about the other three options. Living in Wellington, I do proudly support the Wellington Cricket Team when they are playing at home and not against Otago though.

    I don't have one. Once the Canes are out I just sit back and enjoy the rugby.

    Surely the Drua are the only correct answer if you are opening it right up... but if you limit it to NZ teams then most default Landers. My second team is then the Crusaders, as weirdly I hate them the least for some reason.

    Highlanders with an early lead for a change!

    there are definitely other teams i have a soft spot for, as you say the drua is one and after years in melbourne i am growing a soft spot for the rebels just because i now know people that have been involved with them at different levels

    Moana. I don't have a cultural connection but a few Counties guys are usually there. I watched a few Hurricanes games this year when Roigard was playing.

    Nobody. I usually cheer for someone in most games though. That'll change from week to week depending on the table situation and how annoying players and/or fans have been recently 🙂

    I would've cheered for every team at some stage over the last couple of years

    absolutely, fuck any second team unless it helps impact your own team, or you hate another team more 🙂

    or unless you have a large wager on the outcome

    Generally depends on the composition of the team and the coach. I've never really had anything against the Chiefs but very much enjoyed their losing streak when Gatland was coach.

    I was in absolute awe of the Blues in the early days and 2003.

    Theres a really cool team in the capital. Jonah, Cully and Tana used to play for them. Bull was the captain. JC and Rodders ran around for a bit too. What about them ?
