@Canes4life said in Wellington v Waikato (RS):
Great opportunity for Riley Higgins.
Agree. He's looked good so far though but this is his biggest game.
@Winger he will be eyeing a Hurricanes contract so will want to make a statement.

I will watch him closely. I see him as potentially better than PUJ. But haven't seen enough of him yet

A red instead of a yellow?

Have Waikato named their side yet? Talk about delayed.

The team will be named today, and has always been announced the day before the game.

@Bovidae maybe by Waikato standards. Most professional outfits name their team on Thursday if they are playing Saturday.

@Canes4life You've missed our discussions about team releases during the NPC season.

Good to see McKenzie back at 1st. And will watch his match-up with Morgan closely. As I will Proctor v Sullivan.
Forecast Sat 24th
Rain, possibly heavy in the morning, easing to showers in the evening. Southerlies, strong in exposed places.

@Canes4life I think you're overly optimistic with "most". Hawke's Bay named their team this morning and we're still waiting for Waikato, Northland, Bay of Plenty. So half of the provinces didn't.
@Stargazer Northland side has been named, they have just decided not to publish it on social media this season until the last minute.
I think they still have to submit the sides by a certain time to NZR, and often get updated on the NPC page

@taniwharugby The rule in the Competitions Regulations Handbook is that teams must be announced publicly 24 hours before kick-off.

Clever to do so via NZR media team then as they can say they did their part but the delay was elsewhere.
