@stargazer at this late stage it will be a logistical nightmare won’t it?
That’s the way it is and always will be. The big unions will always rise to the top when they have all their All Blacks. Hawkes Bay have enough talent to match it with the big teams though so I wouldn’t be too disheartened if the NPC (with All Blacks) goes ahead.
I think it will be great for NZ rugby aslong as the fans get behind their provinces.
Take the Naki for example, imagine if they get a full season with all three Barrett’s on the park. It would be great.
@canes4life not only for them, but the bums in seats for away games.
-
@stargazer correct, Dominic Bird was in the initial lineup.

@chris I noticed McAlister getting off injured quite early, too.
Romano had a massive game.

I had mentioned previously that he had been playing club rugby in the Waikato. With Smith leaving and Reihana going back to Northland there will be an opening for a more experienced 1st 5. The other guys in the province are young and untested.

@nepia has anyone got the squad with their NPC teams? i always thing 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

This is an interesting read about the assembling of a Bunnings NPC Squad

This info was news to me.
Next year NZ Rugby is to rigidly enforce a nationwide salary cap of $950,000 without any jiggery-pokery, such as third-party deals. About time too.
The article says that Manawatu's salary total is about $900K, so I expect many of the larger provinces will have to make a significant reduction in player payments.
