    No one can report on it cos normal media channels are falling apart, the NPC is no way going to make them enough clicks etc to be worth spending time on.

                    Farking disgraceful. I blame Jacinda.

                      i just cant help thinking they could have organised things a little better and launched the NPC season the weekend just gone....when there isn't an AB's game on

                      The organisation of this season seems weird. We've just had a huge gap with no rugby, all I've had to watch was the Warriors returning to type, and now we have the RC and NPC starting at the same time.

                      Wish NPC started a fortnight after Super. Then TRC squad could reward current form.

                        Good to see there's a few paths where Auckland can get a challenge.

                        No Shield game since 2015.. that has to be a record? At least in the NPC era for a non heartland side

                          @Duluth I'm hoping HB beat Northland and then lose it to Ta$man because then Wellington will get first crack at Ta$man.

                                Sorry mate, I want HB to hang onto shield until the Naki gets the challenge. I haven't looked what happens if others win it, I like to keep things simple.

                                  And Auckland's last challenge before that was 2010.

                                  1 shield challenge in 13 years, that's impressive.

                                    If Christian Leali’ifano turning out for Auckland last weekend came as a bolt from the blue for onlookers, the man himself was equally stunned, on the back of a presidents grade game in Hamilton alongside Lima Sopoaga and Jack Lam.

                                        @Nepia Even better when you beat them. We talked about this game in the Club rugby thread. I'm sure @mikedogz can tell you all about it again.

                                          Imagine being on the other team and looking across and seeing those three lining up against you.
