When I was a kid this was the big match. Two of the top NPC sides and also 'my team' vs my dads.
Rellies all lived in Palmy and often the game would be a school holiday one when I would be staying down there with grandparents.
Good memories.
This time around? I am quite confident although the Poo can turn it on at times so a little nervous on it.
Three Steelers set to bring up blazer games - Counties Sports Hub
Coach Reon Graham has been forced into some changes with his All Blacks contingent and skipper Sekope Kepu ruled out of Saturday’s NPC game against Manawatu at Navigation Homes Stadium as three players register milestones. Kepu, the international centurion and squad captain, ruptured his Achilles...
Jared Page playing better as a Fullback compared to Wing.

I remember these days. Counties won in 1979 and Manawatu in 1980, Wellington won in 1978 and 1981
Counties had a front row of Ketel, Dalton and Spiers. Manawatu had Gary “Axle” Knight.
Jared Paige an Penasi Malimali showing some real strength and talent. Despite the YC Slade has been a real nuisance for the Turbos in the tight.
I like the Fijian winger Malimali
Getting a bit scrappy, the Counties bench need to do better. The bench Hooker has done well.
The 9-10 combination for CM is one of the best in the comp I reckon. Both work hard on and off the ball. Great to watch too.
