What would everyone like to see more - North vs South matches OR All Blacks playing provincial rugby?

An NPC with All Blacks would be so awesome. Had this cruelly ripped from us last year for some half-crowd Tri Nations.

Wellington truly losing their structure understandingly when they’re club players came on in the second half final score 24-14 Taranaki
@mikey07 yeah well done Naki, positive thing at this stage of the season is no injuries.
I wonder why Dominic Bird was pulled late.

@bobily2 Where did you find that Wellington team line-up? I don't see it anywhere on their social media.

I don't want North v South or ABs in the NPC.
As someone from the non Franchise provinces the NPC is interesting because it's competitive, an influx in AB's will make it uncompetitive.
Personally, I don't get excited by North v South.
In saying all that I'll take both options over no rugby at all.
@nepia has anyone got the squad with their NPC teams? i always think of people like aaron smith going back to Manawatu and thinking it would be great....but your probably right. the bog teams would have most, Otago doesnt have any AB's

I hope they do play NPC. Just becuase Taranaki will then have a good team...

We'd get BBBR and Weber, but the Cantabs and Orks would get nearly a Super squad back each.

McKenzie@mackerzzzz Fucking Ta$man are the problem, chequebook Mofos.
Not as bad as I thought actually :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone: , the Auckland NPC ruckus has helped spread their players out a bit.

That actually looks nicely spread out. I’d enjoy watching that.

@tim said in NPC - news, injuries etc:
I am happy to see Corey Kellow here. He was among the best Crusaders U20 players during the SRA U20. Mobile, strong at the breakdown and good linking with the back. Not a midget either (1.90 m - 6ft 3 - for an openside).

Although, when you add them to their franchise laden squads* the imbalance returns. Let's let Canterbury, Ta$man Invitational Chequebook XV and Auckland play their own comp and the rest can have a competitive comp (hopefully I piss off a few Wellingtonian/Hurricanes fans by not including them with the big teams).
*Now you'll be off to total the franchise numbers in each team to show how I'm wrong there as well.
