WELLINGTON UNACKNOWLEDGED
The 2024 Bunnings NPC regular season ended yesterday (Sunday) with Wellington at the head of the table. But neither TV One news last night nor Mike Hoskings breakfast show this morning on Newstalk ZB made mention of it. Interestingly, the same Auckland sports presenter was on both shows.
The 2024 NPC has produced a lot of good rugby with every team in with a winning chance game by game. A high number of players signalled that they were potentially up to All Blacks/international standard including Wellington second five-centre-wing, Riley Higgins and half back Kyle Preston.
Wellington also finished top of the table in 2023 and was runner-up the year previous.
Interestingly in the Wellington-Hawkes Bay match last Saturday there were at least 8 players formerly from St Pat's Silverstream among the teams.
I hope that this year Wellington will progress to win the championship title in releasing all the skill, ability and consistency they have possessed for three years..
