I understand my ex-colleague (previously the Highlanders videographer) is heading over with them. I'm sure there will be a bit of content from that trip.

Small Blacks?

[mikedogz]

They don't have to be under 85 for these games so some of them will be working hard when they get back home to get under 85 again. Talked to a couple of guys at the club last week who are playing in the grade. After weigh in everyone takes 10 min for a feed.

@mikedogz isn't weigh in before a game?

[mikedogz]

As far as I know the two Managers weigh the players no later than 10 minutes before the game.

Seems rather counter constructive to pack a feed in right before the game!

[mikedogz]

I think they try to weigh as early as they can.

The North Island teams have kicked off the competition.

The Coastal and Fraser-Tech game was played in Te Kuiti and was a good watch. But even if Central are doing something similar and playing in Taupo, there is serious traveling to be done by a couple of clubs.
