Coey Turipa, former Suburb, is the only South Islander in the NZ U20 squad. Is there no one from Canterbury good enough to make the squad? I find that very odd. Any of you guys have a outstanding young gun, or is the talent drying up?
Tristan Nicol, Sam Miles spring to mind. There would be several others (Tane Gent) well worth a look given Mainland's performance in the national Youth League over the past couple of years. Bombay Hills mentality, smacks of players in and around Dorkland where it is easier to gather for training/matches as a group being one of the criteria for selection. Nelson would certainly have some other good potential candidates as well.
