@sparky any sign of bro Julian?

[sparky]

@Nogusta Da Bus is living in Auckland region apparently. Might see him in the NPC for Auckland, North Harbour or Counties.

[African Monkey]

@Nogusta Sooooo he'll be playing for Ponsonby soon. I'd rather not see him turn out for Auckland if that is indeed the plan haha.

I wasn't sure where to put this but this is a pretty cool story of a young 2m Wellington lock (a rarity in Wellington) who has fought cancer and a serious neck injury to take his place in a strong Tawa club side this year.

[Bones]

@Canes4life why am I not surprised to see Harry Plummer considered an inside back in Auckland, but a lock in Wellington.

[Canes4life]

@Bones probably because the average locking height in Wellington is 1.8m

Do you need tall locks when you have Ardie?

Is that to scale ?

Never realised Nonu was a hobbit, then again he is standing right next to Ardie

[Canes4life]

@MN5 this image suggests Nonu is 2 metres tall.

Check out who is listed as one of the Melville coaches.

Carters first touch was a sweet cut out pass but his outside backs stuffed up a 2-1 opportunity.

[Bones]

Oof...Petone might wanna rethink having two teams in the same grade. Some wallopings in prems too.

For anyone interested there are a few good podcasts with various Club, NPC and Super Rugby players via the Huddy Sports YouTube channel.

@Stargazer there is a good interview in there with Hugh Renton that you might want to post on the HB page.
