Provincial rugby kicked off 2 weeks ago with a roar and a few upsets. Hawkes Bay finally put the smack down on Auckland and beat them by 30 odd points, the first win since 1975. Week two didn't go so well for the Bay, Wellington proving too strong but we made to many mistakes with ball in hand and of course you can't do that. It seems that the public have once again embraced the comp. and its been said this could be b/c of the misfortunes of the AB's......i'm not so sure. The "NPC" is the back bone of NZ rugby and provincial pride rules.
Round 3 to follow....
