Good to see

Hopefully we wills see a bit of Salesi Manu with North Harbour and not sure whether Winston Stanley is back with Aukland after his injury?

Anyone seen team sheets with either playing?

[KenyaQuin]

Thanks for the schedule Pacman..

[NTT]

Had a look through the squads and couldn't find Stanley in the Auckland team. Manu at North Harbour and Peter Betham from the Tahds playing for Tasman were the only Aussies of note i could find. Big Dog Te Moana at Manawatu, no Ripia anywhere. Heard a rumour Richard Brown was over there too but cant confirm. Bay of Plenty have a strong squad on paper, All Black duties will cost them though.

Swanepoel anywhere?

[Pacman]

Swanepoel anywhere?

Yup, Swanepoel in the Canterbury ITM Cup Squad.

Swanepoel anywhere?

canterbury but will struggle for game time - not in their best 22

[Pacman]

Hi Pruc, is that with Ellis and Heinz infront of him?

If so, hopefully Ellis will build up some air miles to the two Sth A's and he'll get more 1st XV game time than expected.

Kids - apparentley come first!!...... I No right???.... and she had the check a week or two back to ask if it was OK for our 5yr old to miss his game on Saturday, because she had lots of shopping to get done...... I said, "WTF - there's sheep stations at stake", or words to that effect. To boot, i'm taking the 14yr old to Britannia and U6's were in Mandurah.

She has so changed from when we first met, Rugby took a high priority back then - Time for a trade-up me thinks
