          @Bovidae It's a pity that this is scheduled during the NPC season and some of our best are not available for that reason. Lucas Cashmore isn't in either list, so I assume he's too old?

            @Stargazer Cashmore turned 20 last month, so I guess it depends on what cut-off date they used for selection. He was playing for the BOP U19s.

                He also played for the steamers in their win over Otago last week

                  Was just referring to his possible eligibility. All the Waikato and BOP players named in the NZ U19s were playing in the U19 game I watched. Usually Jan 1 is used as the date for age-group teams.

                            @booboo that's strange. Maybe our Matrix end of year examns. They have just played a two weeks tournament vs England and France.

                              Bulls would also be a big test. Played WP in the Cravenweek final.

                                  Rory Woods (Ngāti Kahu) is a grounded young man with a firm grasp of his Whakapapa. Strong connections with family and friends help drive his rugby greater heights.

                                      Do we know if these games will be televised? I can't see them listed on Sky, but maybe Spark Sports have the rights.

                                                OK, so the match dates must be SA time.

                                                  @Bovidae Is this a strong side and how well are they likely to go against SA sides?

                                                    A lot of the NZ U19 squad were selected for the NZ Schools/Barbarians squads last year. Of course, they never played a game.

                                                    Our SA posters say that the Stormers team should be the strongest opposition, so a big game first up. I haven't seen a NZ team announcement yet.

                                                          Is it typical that NPC takes precedence over this? I know what I'd rather do as a 19yr old!

                                                                Just remembered there's a provision about precedence in the Competitions Regulations Handbook. It looks like this hasn't been updated for a while, because it still names the Junior AB's as our "next senior national representative team" and not the All Blacks XV, but I assume the rest hasn't changed. It also doesn't mention the NZ U19, of course, but I guess it's the same rank as the NZ U20 team.

                                                                406a614e-c214-4f44-ac6a-cdf252f0feef-image.png

I wonder why? Was SA schools or u19 in camp or playing? The WP 9 that moved to 10 was good but was playing them on his own at times. Loved the starting NZ midfield, power at 12 with pace at 13. Not much quality defence going on though so I hope tougher tests will come.
