Te Kuiti/Otorohanga included also. Hope that doesnt impact Cane's KC game
Game is in Taupo, but a lot of the players might need to stay there for the next couple of nights...

No games for the Steamers for two weeks with that draw. Not ideal, but helps the lengthy injury list I guess...!
perhaps a full backline in 2 weeks, ..albeit functioning backline might require a different change lol

I'm almost tempted to stick with the incumbents from the Wellington game!

I suppose the Waikato team may be able to go back to their families over the weekend (if approved) as they will be in L3 regardless.
KC training is in Mangakino tonight, which is closer to Taupo than Te Kuiti.
Judging by the description (map not yet published, Mangakino might be in the new zone.
Hipkins said the boundary will follow the coast south to Mōkau and then east along the northern Pureora Forest Park, and then north to include Te Awamutu, Karāpiro and Cambridge where it will meet the existing boundary.”

ha ha TTT can go to the crusaders now if he doesnt start performing, both Carter and Campbell played very well (although Carter out of position). If available I would be playing Wainui and Ratave every time, but at least guys like Webber and Carter showed they wanted to be there.

@sbw1 said in NPC - news, injuries etc:
@stargazer Wonder if the the players from the three Auckland teams join other teams to get game time. Real shame for RTS, as he came over earlier to get a start in NPC.
Legally not possible. a) They're stuck in the Auckland region; if teams didn't get permission to relocate, why would individual players? b) The competition rules don't allow switching teams.
And why would they? Have you read the quote from my previous post at all? They're working on a Super City Series, so if that goes ahead, they will get some game time.Thanks, will check that out.

Mangakino is part of the Taupo District and is not within the restricted area.

All players vaccinated, all agreed to regular testing, would have been in a bubble.
More world leading Covid control by nz.

Yet The Bus was allowed out, and some netballers, and waikato ladies got to run from 2 different Level 3 areas.
Inconsistent
-
For the netballers, only 4 players were allowed to leave, but not any of the Auckland-based support staff. That included the team manager and physio amongst others.
The MoH should be consistent though.
Where were the teams going to be based in their latest proposal? Was it still at Wairakei?
