@Stargazer said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
Southland team to play Canterbury:
Taine Te Whata is clever. Starting and on the bench.
-
Wow. The Ta$man box score reads like a Super Rugby side and it's no surprise they thrashed Otago. And then you scroll down and look at the Southland squad (I recognised 3-4 names) and wonder how Canterbury didn't put 100 on them. Such a difference in two provinces of relatively similar size and presumably resources.
-
Three more M10 Cup squads to be announced. Waikato, Hawke's Bay and Bay of Plenty. First game this Thursday. The competition I've been waiting for all year is finally about to start!
-
@Stargazer You more into M10 Cup than Super Rugby?

@Daffy-Jaffy I'll have you know there is unlikely to be anyone in the starting line up with dreads, maybe not even the 23!

@taniwharugby Then it will be but a pale imitation of a real Taniwha team. What not even Ranger? Gregory could easily dread all that hair. You need to hunt down some more Pryors.

There's some mullets tho, right?

@Daffy-Jaffy Ranger is injured from round 1 or 2 of super rugby...Yeah Gregory could easily convert @Machpants if Stokes plays he has had an outstanding mohawk/mullet kind of thing going on.

I'm not sure I would agree with the rankings apart from 1 and 2. Rugby grounds should be rectangular not ovals (looking at you Westpac). Strange to show a photo of Waikato Stadium under construction.

@Daffy-Jaffy And there we go again, spelling Brendon O'Connor's name wrong again (like they've always done). Who writes this stuff for NZR?
That line-up comes from this:

@Stargazer I'd be interested in what starting xv and bench you would pick from the squad for the Magpies this weekend? where would you play Toala. He impressed me hugely against the Blues dev. team earlier this season.

Something slightly wrong between this NZR release and the HBRU release on the HBRU website/facebook page.
Iakapo Mapu is NOT in the HBRU release. And the HBRU release has Elijah Martin who is NOT in the NZR release.

The HBRU list also doesn't inlcude Tiaan Falcon and Will Tremain. NZR always makes mistakes!
I've posted the list released by the HBRU in the Magpies forum here: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/post/353765
