Out of curiousity

[nickdnz]

Other than Peter Betham, Julian Huxley, James Hansen, Luke Rooney, James Hilgendorf, Brock James and Christian Lealiifano - can anyone think of any other Australian professional rugby union players to play in the NPC? I mean guys who haven't played for a NZ SR franchise (and within the modern game). I'm sure there is more than that.

Shota Horie is a recent one... Couple of guys will join that group this season with a bunch of guys scattered around the provinces (Waikato have two or three).

Ah yes, Speight was good for Waikato in his last season, then those ******* Brumbies came along and stole him... Was a ready made replacement for Sivivatu.

I have another "out of curiosity", ITM cup question ... anyone know of a good site/link, where I can view all of the squads for the 2013 cup? ... most of the ones I've found are out of date ... cheers

Nope - even the ITM Cup website has a link to the poorly managed and run team websites - some of which are still out of date. I don't think there is one.

True. When it comes to SH rugby, Wikipedia is the most accurate source.
