    What struck me was just how many players are leaving for Japan, I have never watched that competition before, may have to tune in and see what its all about.

    It's shit. Half hearted rugby at best. Want to watch a bunch of players perform well within themselves, walking to rucks and generally not caring. Welcome to Japanese rugby.

    I have a patient whose son plays in Japan. Reckoned the trainings were quite arduous by NZ standards (he played NPC and was a fringe Super Rugby player). They must leave it on the training pitch

    2011 and 2015 our U20 team won and there were more than a few stars in the sides that were quick to move into the gaps left by departing players post world cup. 2019 side was 7th.

    @mofitzy_ I believe the players are still available. That side was poorly selected and coached IMO.

    Did any of the news sites provides a list of SR players by NPC province?

    It doesn't say much about the top 3-4 sides but it is interesting to compare how many players the smaller provinces are producing

    @Duluth I haven't seen an article that lists the provinces of the SR players, but looking at the official social media accounts of the provinces, there are numbers available. Wellington and Southland aren't clear, so I tried counting them myself.

    Province - number of SR players
    Auckland - 21
    Bay of Plenty - 13
    Canterbury - 27
    Counties - 7 (including one, Kellaway, at the Rebels)
    Hawke's Bay - 15 (including one, O'Connor, at the Sunwolves)
    Manawatu - 7
    Northland - 7
    N Harbour - 15
    Otago - 12
    Southland - 2?
    Taranaki - 16
    Ta$man - 17
    Waikato - 14
    Wellington - 19?

    I didn't include Lamborn in any of the teams.

    @Stargazer The reigning national champions will also probably have Roach (Waratahs) and Uchida (Sunwolves).

    Edit - also confirmation on the Mako Facebook site (from the admin) that Tim Perry has retired.

    When are the Aust/SA/Sunwolves squads named? I know that the Brumbies have announced their squad but what about the others?

    @Bovidae They don't have a particular date on which they publish the team lists; some are early (the ponies), some are very late. Same South Africa. The Sunwolves usually dripfeed their signings and sometimes even change the composition of their team during the season.

    Teaser vid for the jerseys. I see red, light blue, dark blue, yellow, and orange. Chiefs for an orange kit? Central vikings trash.

    You started winning shit the moment I parachuted across MF!

    Then the Naki joined and it's been near and not so near misses ever since. Should have had the sweet heart deal with the Magpies!

    Hell no ... the Hammettuer's first season was 2011, by about three weekends in I was dusting off my old Hilly Chiefs matches T Shirts and my muddy old Chiefs flag (from the days of the hill at Rugby Park) afdter retrieving them from my storage locker.

    Rennie and I joined at the same time ... you're welcome 😉 .

    What are you going to do if Hammer is part of Jamie Joseph's dream team - and appointed to the ABs? They've been on the same Highlanders, Sunwolves, Japan roundabout with Tony Brown so I wouldn't discount it. 🙂
