Jimmy Tupou is Chiefs/Counties. Taufua has links to the Counties side of Rainbows end. How long was he at the Auckland School?

[Nepia]

@Chris-B said in Region Of Origin SR Teams:

@Stargazer I reckon someone like Riccitelli, who moved here as a four year old, should be eligible.

But not the kids from the Pacific Islands who came to school here on rugby scholarships.

Yeah birth is a weird way to judge. You could have a player born in Auckland and moved to Christchurch at age 3 and he’s being considered as a Blues catchment.

Growing up and high school should factor IMHO. (I haven’t checked thread rules just been following posters selections.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz You're right about Tupou (born in Pukekohe); not about Taufua, who was born in Auckland

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Yeah, but if you do that, boundary lines become murky. What will be the cut-off age? Often info about the age at which players moved is hard to find. I just stuck with the clear boundaries. Less room for argument.

I just read @sharks rules and he doesn’t seem to cover this exact situation. Maybe we can get a ruling?

@shark Born in Auckland, moved to Chch As a child? Who are they qualified for? What about moves early high school with family?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia He can think what he want; everyone can make their own list.

[mikedogz]

@Stargazer said in Region Of Origin SR Teams:

Jimmy Tupou

Taufua went to Alfriston College before Sacred Heart so Chiefs and Blues can have equal Dibs.

There would be a few examples where players are born in "Auckland" but that also includes Auckland South of Rainbows End

[African Monkey]

@Nepia Like Pat Tuipulotu. Moved to Auckland from Chch when he was about 2-3 so does he qualify as someone from the Crusaders catchment?

[mikedogz]

Karl Tu’inukuafe went to Wesley can Chiefs claim him?

I’m trying to follow the rules as established by the OP 😉

[mikedogz]

What takes precedence? Place of birth or High School?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia And I'm trying to prevent a tug-of-war

Proximity to Nelson. The closer location to Nelson takes precedence.

@Stargazer said in Region Of Origin SR Teams:

Parkinson is from Lower Hutt? I missed NPC teams on purpose or it would have been easy.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer Akira Ioane was born in Japan.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Pari Pari Parkinson was born in Whakatane.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Yes, totally forgot about that! Sorry Akira, you're out
