New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Vlad59]

Good point … they also have a 5 year wait from the first announcement
….
Still got over three years to go and the name and colours already announced I understand… we’ll see how it continues …

Couldn’t give a feck about the team but the process is interesting to watch. Lots of standard afl lies are accompanying it but what else would you expect?

Few commentators elsewhere theorising he’s been denied and is going down spite swinging

Yeah, maybe the NRL have indicated that their preferred NZ 2 bid is the Orcas one?

I'm curious now ... who am I meant to be?? I can assure you and whoever - I'm reasonably new here and have no idea who you think I am. lol. Jaffaland is commonly used down here to describe Aucklanders as is Dorklander.

Welcome to the forum mate. Unfortunately you're meant to be me lol, sorry about that.
I've been a huge advocate for a second NZ team for a long time and I spent some time over there travelling around most of the spectacular south Island for around 4 months with tentative plans to move there long term until the wages comparison bit me in the arse. I absolutely loved the place and it’s people! While I was over there, I was posting on here to express my surprise at how well received league was and the great chats I was able to have about League, which of course only made me more keen to see another team across the ditch.
Of course it was scrutinised heavily here and told it was only played in a few pockets around Auckland , and I was on a fake holiday and only Kiwis could possibly crasp the sporting landscape there so my 4 months of experiences counted for nothing ( along with piles of data lol)
So that was it and I continued advocating for a team there. But once I returned to Australia and bought a new phone and had to log back into my account, I had forgotten the password, so I opened a new account. I thought I might have some fun with it and see how long until someone noticed. A see how they react to things if it were a Kiwi . A couple of weeks in someone did and I congratulated them straight away.
Eventually I remembered my password and started posting back under this user name .
At every opportunity, it's used to discredit me , like daily lol ! and out of context lol.

Anyway, that's the gist of it.

I really hope you guys get a team! I think it would be an overwhelming success!

Hey cuz, so I discovered the reason your old school isn't competing in league anymore is that it no longer exists.

Odd you didn't just explain that in the thread the first time I asked.

Hi there. Yea - long story - it is fundamentally still there - but was rebuilt/renamed since earthquake damage.

Haeata (Aranui) Community Campus, which opened at the start of Term 1 2017, will eventually cater for 1,800 pupils from Years 1 to 13, starting with around 900 students from four merged schools – Avondale, Aranui Primary, Aranui High, and Wainoni.

One New Zealand Stadium Progress Update

The facilities our boys will use from 2026 onwards are well and truly taking shape, with internal walls up and painted in the changing sheds. The Te Kaha Project team are installing door frames and other finishing touches as we speak – all this happening on the ground floor of the west stand...

Cries in Perth

Perhaps the warriors could take a few games there before nz2 comes in
