@Machpants said in NPC 2022:
Obviously I'm just being it on names, but Pro refs is very white compared to Pro players!
But if you take the adult population over the age of 40 in NZ, then rather more in line.
My school's rugby teams don't even reflect the number of non-White pro players. Appalling off in the case of the Under 55s.

Manawatu Turbos news from Club Rugby NZ
Manawatu media reporting yesterday that former Wellington College, Wellington U19s, Old Boys University and 2021 Hurricanes halfback Luke Campbell is joining the Manawatu Turbos this season for the NPC.
The same publication suggesting that former St Pat’s Silverstream and Norths and Tawa flyhalf Sam Clarke will be in the Turbos this year.

North Harbour have been very active in their recruiting.
Hooker Bryn Gordon which the club announced is lost to Manawatū after signing with North Harbour.

@Kiwiwomble it's alright because Sean Withy will be chomping at the bit for heaps of game time

@Stargazer isn't Campbell parata the first five that was on the crusaders radar but decided to head back to Aussie or am I thinking of someone else?
-
@FakatavaAllBlack No, you're correct. He went back to Perth and was picked up by the Western Force. He signed an Academy contract. He played in one of the Force's preseason games IIRC. Doesn't mean he can't play NPC in NZ; several players do that after playing SR in Oz.

@bobily2 yeah he transitioned at the beginning of the club year to a tight-head prop. There's no doubt he's going to be mobile, whether he can scrum is another question altogether.
I'm a little perplexed at some of these signings, do we not have better options coming through than Filipo and the always injured Milner-Skudder? The tight five is very average aswell.
