NPC - news, injuries etc

Tim

@Stargazer Glenn Preston is a a great signing at NPC level, so long as he is fit ...

NateHill74

Southland lack depth this year, 5 players for their midfield and outside backs in total. 5 players for 6 total positions including reserves. Yeesh

Bovidae

Lot's of players with Waikato connections in that squad.

Chris

Forward pack looks ok

De Groot,Tokolahi,Pleasants -Tate,Selby -Ricket,Lamborn. has the foundation of a decent forward pack.

ARHS

@Bovidae 7??

@ARHS Walsh previously played for Waikato, as did Takarangi as recently as last year.

Alaimalo, Moorby and Te Tamaki are all ex Hamilton BHS.

Takarangi is the only new player to Southland this year.

Are there others?

ARHS

@Bovidae Just son of a Waikato All Black. Mixed up Greg Dyer with George Dyer I think

Bovidae

@ARHS I didn't include Selby-Rickit.

George Dyer should be in the Waikato squad.

Ta$man squad to play Canterbury in Hanmer Springs below. Surprised to see Isi Tu'ungafasi in that squad; didn't someone on the Fern say he'd play for Canterbury?

Can't wait for that CRFU Facebook page live feed. It's awesome how you can't cast it despite the chrome cast symbol being on the screen, and the subtitled commentary is a real treat too.

Even better....

DELAYED MATCH COVERAGE! Canterbury Rugby 🐑 have advised that due to poor Wifi at Hanmer Springs they will now be recording the match v the 🦈 and will show the match at 7.05pm tomorrow on their Facebook page. They say "Sorry", you say "_ _ _ _ _ _".
