Tasman v Wellington

@bovidae It would have - but, it would be nice if, occasionally, the people who get paid quite a lot of money to organize these competitions could actually demonstrate some vague appreciation of fairness.
NZ Rugby has a long history of organizing unfair and unbalanced competitions. I don't think they've been involved in a balanced competition since Super 14 bit the dust.
But, then you look at the draw for this ICC T20 competition. And how the ODI World Cup ended.
Who organizes these things?
How can they be so inept?
Your invitational XV has benefitted from this for at least the last 5 years, now, one covid interrupted season later and you're joining the rest of us on the ramparts. Welcome.

@nepia I've been railing about the system behind that fucking Shield for at least 5 years.
I don't recall a previous NPC competition where some teams actually got to play more games than others...
In fact, I'd be prepared to let that slide in a covid year, if there hadn't been so many other fucked up tournament structures in the past.

We listened, we gave you a challenge.

Crowley needs to go as well as some of the current players for a team that has lots of Super rugby experience finishing out of the Semi’s is unacceptable…but then given the general acceptance of mediocrity down here in Wellington I wouldn’t be surprised if he got an extension.

When I looked at those two teams pre-match, I thought you guys would take us comfortably.
We're down to half a dozen guys who had Super contracts last season (and some of those are bit part players) - though there's several others who have picked up new contracts for next year.
