I just noticed that Counties have their player numbers on the front like they did in the old days,

Yeah, there is a Uruguay player who has a Sevens RWC winners medal from the tournament that LOMU was in. Under the old rules players could be drafted in from other teams to cover injury.

Toni Pulu to Brumbies. Not NZ eligible but an NZ product.

That indian chick got the Billy T award, standards have dropped. Read a profile about her that she is a husband basher.

Melville win the 85's comp in the Waikato

More importantly Te Rapa Clydesdales beat the Suburbs Stirrers (with a fit looking Mark Burman) for the WAKA Trophy in Presidents Grade. Some of the guys did the Kurt Baker style photo.

A non crap Counties player I don't mind the Blues having is Jonathan Taumateine.
