    The men don't play, but the women won't be able to play in the final unless they move ASAP.

      I have heard that the Waikato teams have moved to be based in Cambridge.

          They could train at St Peters.

                  Yalden is a Whanganui man so no guesses which team he wants Cane to play for.

                      @bovidae Two Heartland teams in the Chiefs catchment (if that's what they use to choose the team he'll play for), King Country and Thames Valley. Thames Valley play West Coast (away), so probably the King Country game a better choice.

                        I presume that time has run out for the 3 Auckland teams now?

                        Last week NZR was talking about an Oct 15th return if levels changed today. So I guess we’ll get an announcement soon

                          Clutching at straws here..

                          If levels changed in two weeks perhaps those three teams can just play home & away against each other?
                          At least that would give them all 4 'friendly' matches

                            I'm sure NZR was waiting for today's announcement as the current NPC draw is only until this coming round.

                              @duluth Yeah, I've been thinking about that possibility, too. Gives the players some game time and "exposure".

                                  KC haven't won a game so far and I don't see this changing, even with Cane.

                                        @duluth Might be time to look to wrap the season up, cant see the situation improving in time to complete a season even with mid week games, more and more likely that more regions will be pulled into some sort of lock down, and whatever plans are developed are more likely than not to get interrupted.

                                        Time to get some winners and losers for the season.

                                        Sooooo, If we award an average points per game to try and develop a fair assessment of the season to date after 5 played games the table looks like,
                                        Current
                                        Ta$man 18 points
                                        HB 17.5
                                        Waikato 17
                                        Cant 16.25
                                        Auck 15
                                        BOP 13
                                        Wgtn 11

                                        After this weeks games
                                        Ta$man v Hb 18 - 23 points
                                        HB v Ta$man 17.5 - 22.5 points
                                        Waikato 20.4 points
                                        Canterbury v Wgtn 16.23 - 21.25 points
                                        Auck 18 points
                                        BOP 15.6 points
                                        Wgtn 11 - 16 points

                                        Then next week Ta$man, Waikato, & likely HB & Canterbury into semi finals, final week after. Unless Wgtn beat Cant they are relegated.

                                        Championship table is pretty clear cut, Taranaki and Manawatu straight into a final next week.

                                          HB v Ta$man 17.5 - 22.5 points
                                          Waikato 20.4 points
                                          Canterbury v Wgtn 16.23 - 21.25 points
                                          Auck 18 points
                                          BOP 15.6 points
                                          Wgtn 11 - 16 points

                                          Then next week Ta$man, Waikato, & likely HB & Canterbury into semi finals, final week after. Unless Wgtn beat Cant they are relegated.

                                          Championship table is pretty clear cut, Taranaki and Manawatu straight into a final next week.

                                          @alftelf do you think promotion / relegation can actually take place considering the circumstances this year? I can see Wellington, despite such a piss poor season arguing a case that it wasn't a true and fair competition. Will be interesting to see what happens because they definitely deserve to drop down.
