    Yep, I agree with most of yours, with a few teams in different places.

      Waikato will still be able to field a strong team without the ABs. Making the top 8 should be a minimum.

      I'll post my starting XV when the squad is announced.

          Wasn’t there a similar result in pre season last year? Would be interested to see who played for Welly.

              Someone was telling me Waikato weren’t planning to publicly release their squad - which sounded so absurd I thought it might actually be true

                I don't even know if Waikato has played a pre-season game. Hawke's Bay might be the only team that was available to play based on who was/is playing each other.

                  @zedsdeadbaby It's a bit unusual not to have a squad publicly named.

                    Not sure mate, I don't tend to remember pre season results. Only reason I even knew it came up on my notifications from Naki RU. And even then only knew game was happening ,was when I picked up season tickets from them on Thursday, fella there told me the boys had gone down th Welly for game.

                      Taranaki defs won big in pre season last year as well from memory. The game was played up in New Plymouth.

                      This was the Bulls team from yesterday:

                            @Canes4life that's a strong side, probably very close to full strength and what Northland will face as they defend the Shield next week...I'm thinking it has been about a decade or more since we last won down there.

                              They apparently played Hawkes Bay yesterday in Taupō but there's no info anywhere.

                                  Yeah, they often play a pre-season game there. I had checked the HB socials yesterday to see if there was any info. Nope.

                                        Speaking to someone with inside info, Waikato had a good win over HB. Micah Fale is one of the new players in the squad.

                                          I saw a harlequins squad named the other day, is that essentially the Waikato B squad?
