I love how Kane Hames put Marc Hinton in his place.

When the wife doesn't tell you she's working online

My home district club Onewhero won the Counties U85 competition for the very first time. It was the only senior team this year as they struggled to get players for a premier/senior team. This team is more local than the premier team was with most players out of Onewhero or Tuakau schools or living locally and lots of sons and grandsons of club legends. The little fullas can sink some piss apparently so it would have been a big night up on the hill. It was played at the stadium in the break between sevens games.

Probably all of the clubs that don't currently play for the STAG. UMS, Morrinsville, TA Sports, Hautapu, Otorohanga.

If the Aussies bugger off maybe a 12 to 16 team competition based on provinces and Island teams. Fiji, Samoa and Tonga could have a team each. No forced mergers, allow it to happen organically. Maybe a two tier comp with Pro - Reg.

The current competition is mainly focused on five main centres. There are cities that don't see Super rugby and they don't see their All Blacks play for the province.

When was the last time there was a Super Rugby game in Pukekohe, Whangarei, Albany, Tauranga, Rotorua, Napier, Palmerston North, New Plymouth, Blenheim, Nelson, Invercargill?

Have any of the Moana Pasifika players that came from OZ and further afield committed to NPC teams. I wouldn't mind Counties signing Christian Lealiifano.

We will have some handy Loose Forwards this year.
