is cane that bigger deal? train with them sure, i dont know, i just miss the real provincial competition, back in the day i think guys were rather tell a story about playing AGAINST and tackling an AB than one taking their jersey and allowing them to watch
I would imagine the enjoyment will be equally shared by both sides.
If it was my position he was taking, I would be sweet with it.
"Yeah I didn't start against Whanganui in 2021, not because of covid, but the coach thought I could do with a freshen up and that gave the All Black captain his first start of the season".

@canes4life yeah I said back when it became clear the 3 Auckland teams wouldn't be available they should can the promo/relegation and just re jig the draw...I mean it seems daft Northland.and Waikato have a bye this weekend (as does another team, not sure who) and both played one another last week...I am sure these guys just want to play rugby, sure still have the Premiership/Championship winners, but remove the promo-relegation aspect.
This season will always have an '*' next to it...players would much prefer any game time for thier province than none.

@taniwharugby there has been a 3rd application placed to move the 3 teams , pretty much the last chance or the comp may have to move on without them.

@tim Still going at the moment and yeah it is a bit of a whinge fest. Main problem is contracting, there's a big issue as all the players are contracted til 31st of October. Players heading to Japan apparently need to leave at the start of November, those who aren't Super players have other jobs they'll need to go back to. All Super players have a mandatory month off before Super preseason. That's the main point, other than that it's just whinging.
Tony Johnson is about to come on the show lmao.

ADDITIONAL WEEK OF BUNNINGS WAREHOUSE NPC CONFIRMED
Gates will be open, too. With the 100 outdoor limit lifted, is that right?
-
@machpants Yeah, but I understand it has to be structured in such a way that they can ensure people are 1m apart, or something like that.
-
@stargazer youd think with a little planning they could easily fit >2,000 people in most stadiums while adhering to the rules, plus the corporate boxes that they still been doing anyway.
