You've hit the nail on the head there. The lack of the inter fed/national youth comps has stunted us.
For me the South island champs are a key component. Stick with the base we have. from those teams then pick the fed team and take the best 16 from canterbury, north, mid canty etc to represent us at fed level.
Club feeds south island tournament which then feeds fed/national age level. Surely this would be more worthwhile than a few days at NTC?
