      @tim apparently Solomone Kata is on Aucklands radar for this year's NPC?? Not sure how accurate that is but don't be surprised...

            I feel sorry for the Cook Islands I can’t see them beating Samoa or Tonga to progress to the Asia/Pacific Repecharge.

                  @kiwiwomble Or, Otago has over the years signed several players from the north (some via Uni) so they can now afford to "share" a few with Southland. And they got Nu'u from Southland in return.

                  I think calling Southland Otago B is a bit patronising tbh. Just like Otago, they get players from all over the country.

                    @stargazer chill

                    I was just joking around, thought the use of the term "those northerners" kind of gave it away

                    everyone knows otago is just hawkes bay B

                      @kiwiwomble LOL, more Canterbury B. I don't think there's a HB player in the 2021 Otago squad? There may be a few in your dev team.

                          My flatmate's nephew was the Cooks reserve hooker yesterday and flatmate said he hard hardly played for the last few years. Looks like the 'Ikale Tahi or the Manu could be in for a sizeable victory when one of them comes to play them in the final elimination..

                            If they need to recruit a him from the Brumbies then they might also be after his cousin Liaki Moli as part of a joint deal.

                              Hahaha

                              The otago B comment was just because they've signed about five or six players from Dunedin club rugby in the last couple of weeks.

                              I think it's great.

                              Heck, I had the same joke with Otago being Hawke's Bay A in the 90s.

                              We all pinch and share players.

                              Lighten up dude.

                                        Managed to get something out of the Waikato Rugby Facebook page today. I asked when the squad will be announced and they replied saying they will bring a wider training group together after club finals (this weekend) then announce a full squad towards the end of the month.

                                          @yeetyaah I find it hard to believe they wait this long until naming a WTG. Surely, a WTG has already been training for some time? The comp starts in less than 4 weeks.
