I see the name "Shineil Singh" from Waikato. I don't know of him (don't follow rugby below SR level) but isn't it interesting and extremely welcome to see an Indian player coming through? Is he the first Indian to achieve this status?
I presume he is Punjabi, who tend to be larger than your average Indian. Back in India they are men of the land, and often soldiers, defending the border against Pakistan (their home state is on the border). In NZ there is a decent sized dairy farming population. More recently, they've often had to learn to defend themselves against criminals in the independent liquor retail business.
Sounds like he can handle himself.

@Tregaskis Shneil Singh plays for Morrinsville Sports. He's a lock so likely a Fijian Indian as @Hooroo says.

He's so shit he couldn't even shoehorn a few more Hawkes Bay players into the squad like other coaches do ....
He left plenty of space for it - with only 10 players from the four South Island unions.
You know his pecking order is Crusaders catchment area and then Hawkes Bay right?

@Pot-Hale Only the good ones!
As to the squad, team/individual performance at the Taupo national tournament usually plays a large part in selection. The teams that made the finals are most represented.
