And the big news from today...
Marty Banks will be playing for Southland

@southernmann I assume he was trying to get into the Canterbury squad, playing club rugby there, but this is awesome. I understand that they're struggling to get a full squad together (lots of injuries, including Marty McKenzie's). Glad they get a good player.

Bloody good stuff.

has Bryn evans signed on anywhere for the NPC?
-
@kiwiwomble Yes, with his home province!

@stargazer good, he was in too good a form to F off back overseas

@stargazer The Cook Islands must be pretty strong on the wings if the traditional Fijian can only make the number 25 jersey!

Result: Ta$man Mako HP XV 31 - 24 Cook Islands

Anyone know when the official squads are being announced? Obviously Otago have announced theirs - is it just completely random as to when these announcments are made?

I don't think NZ Rugby care enough at this level to standardise it, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure it is just whenever the individual unions feel like it. There are normally a couple who haven't even named their squad a week before their first game.
-
@canes4life Auckland normally name their's in the week after the club final (played the Saturday after this week's).
