Waikato 2020
-
Tudreu was amongst the top try-scorers so must have only played the early part of the club season with Marist.
I've seen a little bit of Wrampling for the NZ Schools and St Paul's last year. He is a midfielder but is playing on the wing for HOB. He has size and speed.
Anyone else in with a chance?
-
@Yeetyaah I don't know, but he wasn't in the Waikato team that played in the CCC and I haven't seen his name listed in club rugby. I'm assuming he has left the province.

Chiefs Country Centurion Cup.
The Centurion Cup will see Chiefs Country Provincial Unions Bay of Plenty, Counties Manukau, Taranaki and Waikato play a quadrangular competition in Hamilton, as curtain raisers to the Gallagher Chiefs home matches at FMG Stadium Waikato.Waikato beat BOP in the final before the Chiefs vs Brumbies game.

@Yeetyaah said in Waikato 2020:
@Bovidae where did Tyler Campbell go?
He was in the China Lions squad for Rapid Rugby. So maybe he's moved to BOP?
He's from the Gold Coast, isn't he? So another possibility is that he's gone back to Aussie?
Or injured again. -

Here is the Waikato team that played BOP. I included some players based on their selection in this team. Exclude Stevenson as some Chiefs players were released to play for each of the 4 provinces.

The big question will be if Smith has a SR contract beyond this year?
He seems to be on the outer at the Canes so maybe the Chiefs are interested with 2 positions to fill at 1st 5.
-
Another player who could make the Waikato squad is Beaudein Waaka as he doesn't appear to be part of the Taranaki squad this season.
-
@ARHS Waaka has been playing at fullback for Melville. I think he's more of an outside back in XVs.
-
@Stargazer I do remember him playing on the wing too.
