@mariner4life The economic powerhouse that is Ta$man - cutting out the fat and apathetic property speculators from the north!
A lot of ingredients in the last few posts to bake quite the humble pie.....

@mariner4life "The New York Yankees have won 40 AL pennants, winning their first in 1921 and their most recent in 2009. This total is more than twice that of the next-closest team,..."
So we should aim for 40 Championships, by 2107?
That doesn't seem very ambitious!
money is no guarantee of success

Our Baron trumps your Baron!
And I just thought - shouldn't an NZ$50 be called a Half-Nelson?!

@Machpants This is more important.
How so? This is a nothing game with no meaning to it. Who cares if North or South win?

It's an All Blacks trial, that's why.
Who really gives a toss about Waikato playing Hawkes Bay?

@Tim said in North vs South:
@Hooroo You don't even watch Waikato games, as you've claimed several times in the past.
He doesn't even watch rugby generally, so I don't know why he has such a strong opinion about this match

@Tim so if your name doesn’t start with A as a front rower do you have a chance?

Just an aside.
I am (was) looking forward to the match.
A rep match with a bit of parochialism about it.
Regardless of the selection qualification it was/Is still us versus the inbreds. And we'll show them that their precious Saders apparent dominance is built on the back of the size of their cheque book. Ha! Take that you poxy little island at the bottom of the world.
But I digress ...
I think they've pick a good qualifier with first provincial team.
If they'd picked place of birth, current province or current SR franchise we'd hear the same whinging.
Draw a line somewhere and they have.
Good concept especially in this environment.
Much better than a god awful borefest probables v possibles with absolutely nothing on it.

@booboo yeah exactly - at least there's something to get behind. Maybe they could have let the players decide if they had "links" to both islands, but then that's probably a whole other can of worms.
You'd have to be a super grump to be upset at this game.

Is it though? If that is the case then why a mickey mouse selection of North and South?

Presumably because it then has some meaning behind it and so it doubles as an attractive product at a time when NZR are trying to get as much revenue as possible. They had sold 30k+ tickets to the fixture before the covid outbreak.

So what would be your selection criteria?
Birth?
3 years residency?
Where a grandparent was born? -

That's a fair point. It looks as though it would have sold out.
