Smiley Barrett always loved a bit of good old fashioned boot work. Occasionally it even involved a rugby ball...

Once upon a time no one had lights...

@Tim
Yes, they were based at the Whangateau Domain/Reserve when we played them.
I can remember one game being called off slightly early due to a combination of a king tide and strong easterly winds. The waves were making things a bit sporty at one end of the field.

@UpTheHarbs

For a few seasons (early/mid 1980s up until that merger) I played in what was a combined Northern Wairoa and Rodney club competition. It was a great competition with most clubs being of a similar strength and background.
Omaha and Warkworth were both hard work.

@mohikamo

and also, Warkworth, Kaipara Flats and Omaha more recently.

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.

@Landers92

I think I read somewhere BB had a hand injury?

@Bones except at the end....

Looks like Love in the background in yellow in that last picture, which would make sense

Savea was also in a yellow bib so not sure if that’s a reflection of the starters vs non starters.

It would be cool if they ran out something very different, a good melt down here over bold selections would make a change, at least.

It’s only France B...

@MN5
Not if we are talking about their wallets...

@taniwharugby
David's father was a tall and a very handy lock/loose forward for Hora Hora and Mid Northern. Perhaps the height genes have skipped a generation?

@HugeCarrot2 I have a mate up in Waimea that is bewildered by Fihaki's inclusion ahead of Macca, fortunately I put him at ease when I explained the cream will always rise to the top

If you're the abs coach, that's only true of a certain type of cream

And that stuff was as tasteful as some of those selections.... crap

Huge pressure from the Eagles' defence was the reason

and another intercept for the Birds...

and Mahomes sacked yet again... that is what you call D

The world is a happy place at the moment. Enjoying a long weekend and the mighty Eagles off to LIX...
