      The Ranfurly Shield holders (hi @Chris-B ) often take their home games to other grounds within their province. I've seen Waikato games in Tokoroa and Matamata over the years, and other games have been played in Cambridge and Morrinsville.

        Waikato and other teams have done exactly the same. I've been to matches in Ruatoria and Paeroa to watch Waikato play East Coast and Thames Valley, respectively, in RS games.

        Otago went to Oamaru earlier this season.

                  Article says he’s signed with Otago for 3 years.

                            @mikey07 he’s definitely not fat , because of his height he fills out very impressively ..reminded me of Kobus Wiese South African World Cup lock ,but a bit shorter ..

                                  @Stargazer I haven't seen Big Billy for a year or two but that looks suspiciously like him in the red jersey. Last time I saw him he did not look as big as the guy in the photo though!
