@Stargazer we comment on judicial hearings in rugby, thats like a Kangaroo court!
@taniwharugby No, procedures before judicial bodies (in rugby) aren't like Kangaroo courts. A lot of people just don't understand the procedures, the rules and/or how they are applied. That's fine, by the way, but that statement is incorrect.

@Nepia Look at the bid history. Nepia aka Jimmysincs?
He badly wants it!
I've still got a Vikings-Nelson Bays programme. Longest time I've spent in Palmerston North, that afternoon!

That's how much I'd let them pay me to take it off their hands.
You've spent enough time in Palmy now last a lifetime.

The frontrunning Ta$man Mako rugby team have landed a tour of the United States. The current Mitre 10 Cup premiership leaders will play two games, against American Major League Rugby champions the Seattle Seawolves and the Houston SaberCats, in January next year. The Ta$man team to travel to the States will be selected in October and will be made up of contracted Ta$man players who do not have Super contracts - as well as Ta$man B and U19 players. All Black Tim Perry will be the tour captain for the trip.While the tour was yet to be officially sanctioned by NZ Rugby, finer details had been organised in the last month between TRU and the Mako's Houston and Seattle hosts, before the itinerary was finally announced this week. The Seawolves website acknowledged the Mako will "provide a dynamic test with their speed of play for the Seattle Seawolves heading into their third season and another chance to defend their title." The Seattle exhibition game will be played on January 26 at the Starfire Stadium. As with many overseas rugby competitions, a number of New Zealanders ply their trade in the nine-team United States Major League competition - including current Mako squad member Tim O'Malley who played for the Utah Warriors last season. -

@Stargazer Pretty cool. Old school model as well. Like before super where provincial teams would play tour matches.

I think a few teams already do this. Auckland had a mini tour of Australia during SR and last year I think they were in Asia

@SammyC - That strongly suggests that what you've heard about Tim Perry not playing for the Crusaders is right!
