Did a thread title kill Stargazer?

It's worrying, now I'm going to have to figure out how to google stuff for myself now.

He may just be watching replays for the Mitre 10 Cup final. That's what I've been doing!

Yeah - I hope he comes back. There's all sorts of small but important facts that will otherwise be missed. For example, he doubtless would have informed me that there was a civic reception for the National Provincial Champions at 12 noon today on the Nelson cathedral steps.

I was completely unaware and could have been there instead of ~~taunting~~ discussing the game with people on the internet.

So in honour of @Stargazer here's a round-up of the Provincial season results.

Mitre 10 Cup Premiership - Champions: Ta$man (undefeated)!!!

National Sevens - Champions: Ta$man

Farah Palmer Cup - Premiership - Champions Canterbury
Farah Palmer Cup - Championship - Champions Otago

Meads Cup - Champions - North Otago
Lochore Cup - Champions - South Canterbury

Ranfurly Shield - holders Canterbury
Super rugby - Champions - Crusaders

And, of course, Mitre 10 Cup Championship - Champions - Bay of Plenty

Good to see you fullahs in the North Island still play a bit of footy!

Nepia

@Chris-B From that post I can see that if all the South Island invitational teams and the BoP Invitational team win then NZ rugby is screwed with the ABs failing hugely at the RWC. Thanks.

Chris B.

@Nepia The arrogance of Hansen - to try to win a RWC without a single player from the National Provincial Champions in his 23....

Kirwan

I hope he hasn’t thrown his toys about that. Part of the charm of the site is the banter between fans, particularly at NPC level.

The battle of the Bay is a good one, and a bit of fun.

Really, did none of your chequebookers make the squad? TBF, I find it hard to tell the difference between you and Canterbury anyway.

Chris B.

@Nepia Frizell and Moli - but Hansen wanted to make a statement.....

To be fair, if Canterbury had made the final he probably would have sent Joe Moody home to play for them!

Higgins

@Chris-B Are either of those two regular starters for the combined Golden Bay Motueka/Nelson/Marlborough team?

Chris B.

@Higgins Frizell was before his ABs call-up - both this year and previous years.

We only reclaimed Moli from his captors this season.

That's a nice way of describing it!

But, can you imagine the amount of shit I would have had to eat if both Ta$man and the ABs had lost!

Stargazer

I'm overseas, have very limited data and only check in now and then to see if there's any interesting news. Not enough data to read whole threads and comment. That's all.

Hooroo

Phew! Didn't want to lose you to a bit of banter.

Enjoy your time Overseas
