[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 147555"] Yeah, those 3 Northlanders are all Super rugby capable, but they'll be lucky to get a look into any of the NZ teams, just coz there's soo much talent around in this country, particularly at wing and in the loosies. If any country was to be given another team, NZ would win hands down based on talent stocks. If Harbour were given a 6th NZ franchise then NZ players might get the exposure they deserve. But, given the current climate, Vainakolo and Parangatai might have to make a trip to the deep south in 08. Bowden might just sneak into the Blues after the Tuitupo and McAlister departures. But he's got some pretty tough competition for spots, and ironically could be up against Howell for the same spot in the squad. NZ teams are going to be strong again next year. I think even the Highlanders will be looking ok after the draft. [/QUOTE]
