Canterbury 44-6 Hawke's Bay (RS)
Good result to the locals, though the Bay gift wrapped a couple of tries and handed them to the Cantabs.
Bay of Plenty 19-36 Taranaki 36
All the 'Naki in the first half as they opened a 24-0 lead. HoriBOP came back in the second but finally crumbled under the pressure of playing catch up Rugby.
One of the worse seasons on record for BOP.
Maybe HB and BOP should be relegated to ARC![]()

Hey Jethro, I know nothing about the ANZC. How about giving a quick summary of the competition, the teams and a little history. I know it is a provincial comp but that is about it for me.Originally Posted by Jethro

Will see what I can do EnForcer. In brief the ANZC and the Heartland comp replaced the old NPC format last year. The 14 teams qualifying for the ANZC don't have to worrry about promotion/relegation but need to maintain facilities and crowds up to an International level. Currently one Team Manawatu are in danger of being demoted from the ANZC.Originally Posted by The EnForcer
Later on will dig out some more details and team profiles etc. For now all you need to know is "C'mon the Bay !!!!!"We're having a good season by our standards with a 4-3 result so far. Looking good for the playoffs, which would be an excellent result since we're one of the new boys in the top level.
Three games left; The Taniwha (winnable), Waikato (who knows), Manawatu (annihilation time). So 6-4 would put us somewhere in the top eight.
