      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.

            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?

                Yes, re-branded a few years back. They will play in the Northern Region Development competition. The squad is a mixture of U20 players to some older veterans.

                      They do have the correct fixtures list

                            @george33 Sevu should be playing for the Stags, he basically played the same amount of minutes in the French series as Narawa & Love did

                                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

                                    Josh Moorby and Lima Sopoaga both in the Waikato team. A lot of the same squad members. Micah Fale doesn't seem to be in the main squad.
