    The East Coast and Bullet teams look stacked.
    But why is someone like Quinn Ngawati playing for Mid Canterbury?
    Dwayne Sweeney has been around a wee while now....

    @Stargazer There was a Waikato Women's Development Series played which had 4 teams and included Thames Valley and Waitete. I would assume that the latter is the King Country team.

    No, the King Country team is comprised of players from throughout the province.

    I didn't know either way, but that would make sense with Taupo etc. Maybe some Oto players are also involved?

    Yes, there are some Otorohanga players involved. Tongariro United also had a team which played in the BOP competition.

    2022 Whanganui squad. Quite a few Fijians.

    Still haven't seen a final squad from Horo-Kap.

    Most of their back line was when they were over here playing the Saracens at Park Island Saturday week ago. Definitely did not have a Fijian halfback or first five from memory but must have had them in all other sports at various times as substitutions were numerous.

    Thoroughly enjoying watching Poverty Bay play Buller in Westport free on Prime. Buller recovering from the shallacking they got last week to lead 22 - 03 after about half an hour.

    As I type that Poverty Bay score a converted try to close it to 22 - 10 five minutes out from halftime.

    The shortly after Buller go over for their own converted try and halftime comes with at Buller 29 - 10 Poverty Bay

    There is just something magical about Heartland rugby at grassroots venues like Victoria Square.

    Looks kike PB might have the wind in the second half.

    Can't resist it but Napier Tech Old Boys' ted Walters waltzes in for a try for Poverty Bay to make it Buller 36 - 15 Poverty Bay with about twenty minutes to play in a very enjoyable game.

    And now the Buller centre scores a fabulous solo 80 metre try, aided by a couple of indifferent tackles it must be said but well worth applauding. Buller within the half century with the added conversion 43 - 15 fifteen minutes left

    Followed not long after by one of about five Fijian wingers playing for Buller today scores after a nice kick pass that he expertly caught before diving over in the right hand corner. The conversion misses but the half century is now but two points away.

    Ha just caught the final few mins of Poverty Bay v East Coast and the East Coast captain after the game...in the sheds at halftime, one of our supporters bought in a warm box of Steinies and the boys hooked into those and good to get the win.
