Sorry Boet. I support Waikato in the NPC. AC nade me dislike Canterbury and Crusaders just like Sards do with the Sharks.Kiwias wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:35 am Wellington are worthy champions. I told you they were favourites and who listened?? Fucking nobody, that’s who
I got the same respect for Crusaders or Canterbury then for Leinster or the Bulls.
Congrats to the Lions. Now over to the Black Caps.
Waikato are my #2 team in NPC but the good guys in Red and Black will always own my heartOomStruisbaai wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:49 amSorry Boet. I support Waikato in the NPC.

Oh and the Cape Crusaders supporters in this Western Cape. They support the All Blacks, then Crusaders but know vokkol about NPC or Canterbury.Kiwias wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:53 amWaikato are my #2 team in NPC but the good guys in Red and Black will always own my heartOomStruisbaai wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:49 amSorry Boet.

My heart naturally wanted the Good Guys to win but my head reckoned Wellington had it in them to take the title.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:28 amPfffft.

Yep, normally Canterbury own the class acts that separate two close teams but Wellington in Aumua, Bird and TJ had the players to do that something a little special.Kiwias wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:53 amMy heart naturally wanted the Good Guys to win but my head reckoned Wellington had it in them to take the title.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:28 amPfffft.

I forgot this was on
Out for dinner in Wellington celebrating my sister’s 60th. Quite hungover.

I came across the Canterbury schedule for NPC 2023 and am overjoyed to see that the Red & Blacks will be playing Waikato in Hamilton on 30 September, which fits perfectly with my first trip home in six years. I arrive on 27 Sep and leave on 12 October.

I would love to know whether Enzed or any other posters in that general area would be interested in an NPC-cabal on 30 September in the Tron.

I'm in the Bay of Plenty... living just outside Katikati for now. I do mean to get over to Hamilton to catch up with Enz... thought maybe the finals' would be a good time, if the Saders' are in 

I'll still be in Kiwi for the qf weekend so may be able to squeeze in one more match.Guy Smiley wrote: Tue Apr 04, 2023 8:23 am I'm in the Bay of Plenty... living just outside Katikati for now.

Still no score as Turbos line speed is paying dividends against Wellies' lack of patience.

6-3 to Turbos at HT. And Turbos basically haven't touched the ball but Welly paying for their lack of respect for the ball and lack of respect for their oppos.

Welly out of ideas and simply kicking the ball away from 1st phase.
