Northland v Manawatu
Downer Referee: Brendon Pickerill

Put the house on Manawatu! FFS

@taniwharugby I was there a few years ago when Northland put about 50 up against them in a fantastic afternoon game.

Great times,I really enjoy Okara as a rugby venue

[taniwharugby]

@nzzp unlikely with Pickerill on the whistle...I prefer to remember the game in 2010 though

1 of 3 places this could go...

Jack Goodhue has re-signed with Northland (and Crusaders and NZR) through 2023

@Bovidae What idiot wrote this “preview” even taking away from my Wellington bias to have them as 4th favourite is absolute stupidity they have the vast majority of last years squad that made the final, so I fail to see how there suddenly been pushed down the pecking order.......rant over.

[Bovidae]

@mikey07 They are the TAB odds, not the view of Goile.

[mikey07]

@Bovidae He posted the article so he can cope the abuse 😂

[muddyriver]

Well if Auckland and canturbury keep there abs Wellington is definitely not top 3. Probably a big if there

[mikey07]

@muddyriver I beg to differ Auckland only finished 4th given their squad is nearly identical.

Here is the Waikato squad.

Damain McKenzie. Fucken Waikato, eh. Rocket scientists.

[Yeetyaah]

@shark they mean "Da Main McKenzie," meaning the main one as opposed to Marty. You're welcome for the Waikato translation.

[OleOleOle]

@shark ffs, hes one of their two All Blacks....you'd think they'd spell his name correctly

Or Da Man Mackenzie?

[OleOleOle]

@Crucial those exotic names are always difficult to spell

[Snowy]

I was impressed with the name " Hamilton Burr" . Which is probably a STD, but not difficult to have a guess at his nickname.

[Bovidae]

@Snowy Bloody Scots and their first names.

Yep.

He also plays for Waikato, probably picked up some disease since moving there and is surely called the "tron".

Moving to a city with the same name as you is going to attract attention.
