North vs South

@Yeetyaah said in North vs South:
High School or current province would've better. First province sucks. Scott and Jordie Barrett like mentioned above, Brad Weber who played few games for Otago then moved. Shit criteria really.
Weber still does the Dunedin RFC Fin when he scores, Dunners is still important to him, i think he'll be ok

As long as he gets to wear a black and white t shirt under his whatever coloured South Island jersey he'll be fine.

@Tim said in North vs South:
So North will have Smith at halfback, with Hall or Nock on the bench?
You think that either of those two have a chance of leap frogging TJ?

@Kiwiwomble Only the club, not the province though :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

of course...Dunedin's not a province, he was a big deal in club rugby for a few years, robbed he didn't get more games for otago, loved seeing him tear it up for the sharks though

speaking from experience, a lot of the best Otago rugby players come from Hawke's Bay

@Tim you are kidding right?
@Canes4life Read the thread.
-
Hookers:
North: Coles, Aumua, Parsons, Dixon
South: Taylor, Coltman, ... Makalio (although his first province was - according to Wikipedia - Wairarapa-Bush, does Heartland count?)If it had been based on school, it would have been:
North: Taylor, Coles, Coltman, Aumua, Parsons ... Makalio
South: Dixon ... Ricky Jackson/Brodie McAlister? -
This criteria kind of diminishes the point of a North vs South game. The whole tribal factor is what these sorts of games are built around. I feel they've missed the mark and I think the care factor will be alot lower than it could have been.
IMO they should let the players decide who they play for, but once they pull on a jersey they can't switch down the track.

They should have just done Probables vs Possibles.

i saw an idea going around, two coaches named and they just get to pick their own squads, taking turns, stream it and make it a bit of an event of it
