      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

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

              Who will play 12 for Ta$man? Jim the Difference or the Crusader's captain.

                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.

                            Ah, I see that the season members have been given the squads early. We're still waiting to hear back from WR before doing so.

                                    My guess at the top XV (excluding ABs)

                                    1 M Tupaea
                                    2 Boyle-Tiatia

                                    5 McWhannell

                                    7 Brown
                                    8 M Wrampling
                                    9 Roe
                                    10 Cook-Savage
                                    11 Tuivalala
                                    12 G Wrampling
                                    13 Sullivan

                                      So he will be competing with Rui Farrant to be Roe's backup. I don't remember him playing Waikato club rugby.

                                      Pita Anae-Ah Sue will be the backup hooker at the moment.

                                          Southland looking set to debut Mika Muliaina at some point. Will only be 18 when he gets a start this season. Have seen a few highlights of the kid. Reckon he will be a special talent. I reckon he could debut with the Landers before he is 20.
