@pukunui ....getting signed by a province isn't just up to the player...if so i'd be currently signed up to a pretty generous contract with Otago and the Highlanders
I understand that. It’s just a bit rich being happy to represent a province you aren’t from for money/career reason, then complaining about playing for that province making you eligible for the island that you aren’t form.
Don’t be a mercenary in the first place.

Players from small provinces without the education (for example, universities) or employment they are looking for if they don't get signed straight out of school, will look for that education/employment elsewhere, usually one of the main centres. That's - for example - how Weber and Evans ended up in Dunedin and started their playing career for Otago. There's no way you could call players, who leave their home province to go to uni, "mercenaries".

Like SG says, that doesn't really work out so well if you want to get a tertiary education and not lose your rugby skills does it?

This game is a forgone conclusion anyway. SI get Weber.

There's a comp to put in your starting XVs to win some shit. Gives you an idea in who's eligible for which island and the depth the north has.

This is quite a cool idea ... the North are fairly week at lock.

Picks itself really. SI to get dominated.

ALB will start at 12.
The SI will be stronger in the tight five than the NI but weaker in the loose forwards.

On form he shouldn't.
And I acknowledge that goes counter to who I've pout at fullback.

Dunno about that.

Tight fives about equal
Advantage North in the loosies
Advantage North in the halves.
12-15 about equal each side (depending on whether DMac can shake of his Gatland-20 virus) -
@mariner4life Which part?
The SI props will be Moody/Hodgman and Laulala/Lomax. Throw in Taylor and the locks.

Form props, form lock. Taylor I'll give you. I reckon the tight 5 battle will be close. Loose forwards is daylight.
And half back. And outside backs.

Everyone is forgetting one thing. North Is are pussies
