@canes4life Auckland normally name their's in the week after the club final (played the Saturday after this week's).

@canes4life This is all I could find. From the Competition Regulations:

@canes4life Waikato probably just won't name theirs.

No one has ever seen you two in a room together. Just saying.

Result: Ta$man Mako HP XV 31 - 24 Cook Islands
I feel sorry for the Cook Islands I can’t see them beating Samoa or Tonga to progress to the Asia/Pacific Repecharge.

Southland is fast becoming Otago B.
-
@southernmann its probably whats needed for the two regions to competes with those northerners, more movement between to support each other
-
@kiwiwomble Or, Otago has over the years signed several players from the north (some via Uni) so they can now afford to "share" a few with Southland. And they got Nu'u from Southland in return.
I think calling Southland Otago B is a bit patronising tbh. Just like Otago, they get players from all over the country.
-
@stargazer chill
I was just joking around, thought the use of the term "those northerners" kind of gave it away
everyone knows otago is just hawkes bay B
-
@kiwiwomble LOL, more Canterbury B. I don't think there's a HB player in the 2021 Otago squad? There may be a few in your dev team.

My flatmate's nephew was the Cooks reserve hooker yesterday and flatmate said he hard hardly played for the last few years. Looks like the 'Ikale Tahi or the Manu could be in for a sizeable victory when one of them comes to play them in the final elimination..

@tim apparently Solomone Kata is on Aucklands radar for this year's NPC?? Not sure how accurate that is but don't be surprised...
If they need to recruit a him from the Brumbies then they might also be after his cousin Liaki Moli as part of a joint deal.

Hahaha
The otago B comment was just because they've signed about five or six players from Dunedin club rugby in the last couple of weeks.
I think it's great.
Heck, I had the same joke with Otago being Hawke's Bay A in the 90s.
We all pinch and share players.
Lighten up dude.

Ta$man B would be more apt when you look at their spending spree.
