New Zealand Heartland XV squad
-
@KiwiMurph said in 2016 New Zealand Heartland XV squad:
George Moala's brother made it - nice.
I'm guessing a large number of this squad will likely make up the Provincial Unions XV that will take on the British Lions in Game 1 in Northland?
Wouldn't the Mitre 10 Cup players without Super Rugby contracts be first choice?

@Stargazer yep that is the way I read it when the Baabaa game was announced, similarly when the Baabaas played up here a few years ago as well.
I expect there will be a few 'token' Northland players in the squad too, just to wind up Rotarded.

Last night watched a mainfreight rugby program that I'd myskyed and forgot about.
Semifinal week.
PB left winger looked electric, but not in this team.
Hah, and he was an elecyrician. Honestly no pun intended. Just happened, honest.
Also Tongan flanker for North Otago looked good. By good I mean scored an awesome try.
Is their eligibility rules for this heartland team? A heck of a lot of PI imports in some if this small rural provinces?
-
@Rapido The NZR rules don't say anything about eligibility for the NZ Heartland XV team, but this is a quote from stuff that I posted earlier, which gives an idea of which players from the Heartland competition are eligible :
Loan players and 'players of origin', are not available for selection in the NZ Heartland side, along with players who have represented other national [teams] at either sevens or 15-aside.The NZR Competitions Regulations Handbook (2016) does contain player eligibility rules for the domestic competitions (in addition to those of World Rugby). This is the part relevant to the Heartland Championship and overseas players:

Matt Fetu (South Canterbury) is on stand by.Ahead of their assembly in Auckland next week, Rutene said the players were excited with the challenge ahead of them. “Opportunities like this don’t come around every day. We are calling this our Test match, it’s the biggest game our Heartland team has played. It’s against a passionate and proud international side and it’s at Eden Park. Both teams can look forward to that.”
