@Tim said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
Who's getting relegated this year, Waikato or BOP?
shut your whore mouth
I had a couple of beers with @tim the other day and had an involved discussion about covid. Some of which I even understood.
Rugby is far more technical and personal, even for a biochemist, and he will have analysed this. So take your pick? Waikato or BOP?
Or he could just be taking the piss..Slight aside, weird expression, a whore mouth being open is bad? I certainly wouldn't expect you to tell a whore to close it. Just saying.
why don't you spend some time explaining to me how the biggest richest union in the country has only won the comp once in 17 years?

Are they really the richest? Eden park ain't cheap, crowd numbers weren't good.
Anyway the rest is easy. Financial mismanagement, poor selection and coaching.And as Tim has said, it wasn't that bad either.

so AB's available for NPC...makes the squad even weirder ...what was the point if theyre not being rested or whatever

Gotta say this could be one of the best NPC in my lifetime and if @sparky is correct and we end up with no opposition for the ABs it will be even better.
I think there will be at least a couple of tests against the Aussies in 2020. Looks like the rumoured Pacific Team game has been pulled. God knows about 2020 Rugby Championship.
Agree about NPC. It will be great to see top All Blacks with their provinces for a little bit.

worst thing about ABs being available this weekend, still fucking L2!

Here is the Waikato squad.
I recognise a few names there and stoked Liam Fabes made the squad but how is our front row looking? I can't tell who is who in the forwards apard from loosies and locks
-
so games will have 'bubbles' of people in attendance.
Northland with 6 bubbles x 100, reckon that will be the lowest attendance I can remember, I do recall a game with sideways rain on a Thursday night where we wouldnt have had much more, maybe 1,000-1,500, was in the early years of Ta$man where we won 9-3, be smallest crowd I have seen previously.

An interesting fact:
After the first season of the competition split in 2011, there have been eight different Championship winners in eight years. -

It's really easy to drop from div1 and teams that have dropped generally don't bounce straight back up
Despite 8 different winners I believe Northland, Southland & Otago have never been up
