    Jorja Miller is in the squad!

    They've also gained two players from other provinces:
    Amy Du Plessis (started at Ta$man, then moved to Otago, now Canterbury)
    Marcelle Parkes (Black Fern, used to play for Wellington)

    Otago have lost Rosie Kelly to Canterbury as well. Another one of their top players.

    @bovidae And Hawke's Bay have lost another good player to Otago again. Otago usually benefit from having an university. As female players don't get paid a cent, not sure why players move from Otago to Canterbury (other than for work/uni), unless the upcoming SR competition is already pulling them to Christchurch.

    There were two preseason games that I know of, yesterday (Sat 26 June).

    I haven't seen a result of the Counties v Auckland game, but Manawatu beat Taranaki 61 - 0!

    @stargazer I recognise one of those names very well. Bad enough possibly having a whangai in the Lions (neither confirming nor denying) until this year and now this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I hope her father does not expect me to forgo watching any Magpies matches that might happen to be on at the same time.

    I had noticed before that NP East Coast now have a women's team. They play Ta$man Mako women today, in a preseason game for the Mako.

    Just wondering whether anyone has heard of Southland still aiming for joining the FPC? If not, is NPEC going to join instead? I have no idea whether other Heartland provinces have women's rep teams and whether they play FPC teams occasionally ...

    Is this the start for a future Heartland comp?? Or have I just missed that Heartland provinces have had women's rep teams for ages?

    Questions, questions ...

    AKAIK Southland aren't in a strong enough position to field a team yet. Their womens comp is still pretty new and numbers still growing.
    Wakatipu women play in the Southland comp but it is Otago that are doing development on promising players.

    @crucial Surprised to see Cortez Te Pou named in the Counties squad! I thought that - after moving to Hamilton and playing her club rugby there - she'd play for Waikato.

    By the way, coming back to that preseason game between Ta$man and East Coast: NPEC is not even close to ready for Farah Palmer Cup level. Ta$man is one of the weaker squads in FPC, even in the Championship, and they beat NPEC 81 to 0!

    Waikato has lost some of the x-factor backs from the sevens women.

    If Tairakena isn't part of the BF7s wider squad anymore she will be handy in XVs.
