i just cant help thinking they could have organised things a little better and launched the NPC season the weekend just gone....when there isn't an AB's game on
The organisation of this season seems weird. We've just had a huge gap with no rugby ll I've had to watch was the Warriors returning to type, and now we have the RC and NPC starting at the same time.
Wish NPC started a fortnight after Super. Then TRC squad could reward current form.

@Duluth I'm hoping HB beat Northland and then lose it to Ta$man because then Wellington will get first crack at Ta$man.

@Canes4life it's best if Ta$man never win it...

I'd back the Lions to take it off them.

Sorry mate, I want HB to hang onto shield until the Naki gets the challenge. I haven't looked what happens if others win it, I like to keep things simple.

Good to see there's a few paths where Auckland can get a challenge.
No Shield game since 2015.. that has to be a record? At least in the NPC era for a non heartland side
And Auckland's last challenge before that was 2010.
1 shield challenge in 13 years, that's impressive.

If Christian Leali’ifano turning out for Auckland last weekend came as a bolt from the blue for onlookers, the man himself was equally stunned, on the back of a presidents grade game in Hamilton alongside Lima Sopoaga and Jack Lam.
Imagine being on the other team and looking across and seeing those three lining up against you.

it's weird how the draw falls to some teams more than others. BOP had a challenge in 2021, then they went back to their other two in 2015 and 2014, and that was it for the decade.
I'll seem to remember in one season in the 90s sometime where Harbour got a bunch of challenges thanks to the Shield changing hands, and won none of them
