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

@Canes4life said in NPC 2025:
The Naki clocked up preseason win against Wellington yesterday68-28, down in Wellington.
Wasn’t there a similar result in pre season last year? Would be interested to see who played for Welly.
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 The game was played in Wellington. The home team wore an unusual jersey.

Yeah I know it was in Welly this year, was referring to last year.

@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.

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.
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.

@UpTheHarbs Only going on what I've just been told by their official socials, can post the screenshot to please you if needed
