I agree with Stretford Ender.. Need to go back to the Fred Simpson days when there were 2 year bands. Each of the Div 1 teams were only allowed�4 Academy / Rep / Mainland players in their team. This meant all teams in the Div1 were evenly balanced and all the games were competetive.
Now the "Mainland" coach takes all his Canterbury players to either Tech, Coastal or whoever and have a totally lop sided league and crap scorelines... Who wins.
Well old Fred must have changed his spots on a number of fronts because he has whole cashmere div 1 teams playing up: 17 div 1 is basically 15th grade Nike cup team; 15 div 1 are all 14th grade (and 10 - yes, 10, from the academy!); the 13a team is playing 14 div 2. Accordingly I note the cashmere 13 & 14 div 1 teams (ie B teams) were both thumped. Practice what you preach?
