NPC fans: Are BOP the real deal, and whats wrong at Waikato?
Great rugby performances from the Bay, they are looking good to make the semis. As for Waikato, I can only guess that their feeder Unions are starting to develop their own talent with their own Regions, and dont see the need to send the talent to Waikato and play for them. Perhaps in the past the Mooloos have relied on the feeder Unions and not developed enough of their own local players.
