@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.

@Yeetyaah Revealing a squad just two days out from your first game of the year? Yeah right.

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

Well fellas, week of NPC starting, so almost my favourite time of year!!
Mrs is happy, she has had the tv for watching the Tour de France, (mind you she records it and watches during day) and as there stull all else on tv, I should have tv completely free. Mind you when rugby on always the case. And she gets a trip to New Plymouth on Sat night for Naki game! -
So three days out from the first game of the comp - what's on the official website?
No news stories in the last month. The last NPC related story is from March
Squad links point to instagram posts for each teams 2024 squad
They do have the correct fixtures list -

It seems that using the website is a thing of the past. It is the first place I would look.
The Bunnings NPC FB page has had regular articles and has been showing all NPC squads with gains and losses. Well, except one.

It was the same last year. From memory, I think it updated it not long before the first game
NZR uses a similar website template between that one, a SR one and the AB one. Stories can get published to all three. They just haven't bothered writing anything about the NPC since March
