Nick Gill is very big on the bronco test. But maybe 6’ 5” loosies ought to cut some slack, and accept that they’re gassed after 55 - 60, at which point you can potentially bring another on?
Maybe it's time to bin the bronco tests and realise that Rugby is a game of RAW POWER rather aerobic fitness these days?
How many Rugby Championships and Rugby World Cups are we going to sacrifice on the bronco test altar?

Geez I enjoyed the game. I really was completely neutral, so just sat here and enjoyed the rugby. I thought usual for early game in NPC , there seemed to be a bit of disconnect on defense at times, but that's not unusual. Was a real case of experience against young up and comers in backlines.
It's so good having NPC back. -
@Bovidae Waikato proving preseason camps and games are overrated ..Staggering they have only been together for a week probably explains their poor start

The late completion of club rugby doesn't help with NPC preparation. Apart from Taranaki, with two RS defences and a pre-season game, most other PUs have had either one or two games before Rd 1.

Four wins in a row over Auckland as well, which looks to be Waikato's best winning streak.
Equals.
Waikato won 4 in a row over Auckland 1954-55
1954 won 23-9 (Ham); won 14-13 (Auck)
1955 won 24-13 (Ham); won 17-14 (Auck).
