NPC - news, injuries etc
-
Good to see the inclusion of a couple of players (Tapsell, Collard) who had reputations out of school, but I feared had fallen through the cracks.
Ratima had his arm in a sling when I saw him on Super Bowl day so obviously still unavailable. No Sullivan or Te Whare. Is Cobb in a WTG?
-
Some actual communication from Waikato.
Josh Coffin is a mate of my cousin. His dad is Phil Coffin who played for the Hurricanes in 96-97 and played a couple of non-test AB's games.

@yeetyaah said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
Strawbridge is still kicking around with the Waiakto squad so maybe he's an assistant?
He's now the Director of Rugby. Messam was in a Waikato kit too.
Moli, K Naholo and later Sullivan were sitting in the grandstand where I was.
The games were strange as CM somehow lost to BOP in their game and Waikato should have beaten Taranaki. The ref gave no reward for a dominant Waikato scrum in the 2nd half. Strang impressed at halfback in the 3rd/4th game.
Was Josh Coffin the starting LH for Waikato? If so, he looked good - very mobile.

@bovidae Ah mate should have said you were going we could have had a chinwag. Coffin was in 5 I think, he's a lock, got some serious size.

The lock that started against Taranaki. Yes, big unit, and much taller than his old man then.
From a Waikato perspective, I thought Collard looked better than Miln for the 1st 5s.

Nephew of Houtana then? One of my childhood heroes.

@bovidae Great to hear. Quinn is another of our Papamoa boys.
I thought Collard went to GBHS?

One of those is very under-whelming.
Good to see Ranger should tick up his hundred!
