Oh shit no! We’ll definitely shit the bed with those expectations now. Good one Herald.

[Stargazer]

@Tim Haha, that's hilarious. Some of the squads haven't even been named, yet.

I like the old one better. I haven't seen any media about it yet.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer Falcon not in the squad anymore?

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Still injured; likely out for the entire season.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer good chance to see what McClutchie is all about.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Yeah, McC took over from Falcon when he got injured halfway throught the 2018 season and had a good first season. Falcon may struggle to get that 10 jersey back if McClutchie plays well again this year.

[Gunner]

@Stargazer didn't realise you guys have picked up Namatahi Waa!!!

[Stargazer]

@Gunner Yeah, he's been back in the Bay since the start of the club rugby season.

He already played age grade rugby here (HB U18 and HB U19) in 2009-2010. He attended Te Aute College.

[Gunner]

@Stargazer google Pipiwai, that's where he's really from...

[Stargazer]

@Gunner I didn't claim he was from HB; I just said he has been here for some time before.

[Gunner]

@Stargazer all good mate, just a wind up.

[Bovidae]

Having a quick look at the TRU site, Waikato beat Taranaki 24-21 (HT: 5-14).

A Waikato player went off on a stretcher in the 1st half. :frowning_face:

This also means that Waikato retains the Ryan Wheeler Memorial Trophy.

[Stargazer]

Preseason:

Half time: Southland 19 - 22 Canterbury

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae Good result. Hopefully not anything major.
