David Havili set for Ranfurly Shield clash as 12 All Blacks released to NPC

Of the 12 members of the All Blacks’ Rugby Championship squad that have today been released to represent their Provincial Unions in the sixth round of the NPC, three will be available for Saturday’s Ranfurly Shield defence at Lansdowne Park.

As seen on social media, David Havili went berserk last weekend when Campbell Parata slotted a long-range penalty goal in Tasman Mako’s 25-24 win over Hawke’s Bay. Tasman had never won the prestigious Ranfurly Shield before, but that last-play kick was enough to make history.

Havili was swarmed by fellow Tasman representatives Will Jordan and Ethan Blackadder as the three All Blacks began to celebrate the province’s achievement from Cape Town. But, after returning to New Zealand, Havili will look to play a part in another famous match.

Tasman will look to defend the shield for the first time when they come up against the table-topping Wellington Lions in Blenheim. Billy Proctor and Ruben Love have also been released, with the pair set to bolster a squad already riding a wave of confidence.

On Wednesday, Wellington won a thriller down south against Otago, with PR Sheck scoring what ended up being the match-winner with three minutes to play. The visitors won 32-28 at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium to maintain their unbeaten run from six matches.

In the other matches, All Blacks front-rowers Ethan de Groot and George Bell will likely come up against one another after being released to play for Southland and Canterbury respectively. The two teams will go head-to-head in Invercargill on Friday evening.

Towering lock Josh Lord is available to line up for fifth-place Taranaki when they travel to Tauranga Domain for a clash with fourth-placed Bay of Plenty. The Bay will welcome back powerful prop Pasilio Tosi for the round six clash.

In the only other fixture on Saturday, backrowers Samipeni Finau and Luke Jacobson have both been made available for Waikato. Waikato will host Hawke’s Bay at Hamilton’s FMG Stadium in the late game.

On Sunday, George Bower will be available for Otago when they take on Counties Manukau at Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe. Playmaker Harry Plummer and Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu are also available for Auckland’s clash with Northland in Whangarei.

Is David Havili in the ABs? How, when, why? is this guy anywhere near the squad? Does he hold bags, water bottles for his Crusader mates who were injured all year only to be rushed back in to the All Blacks short of fitness, game time and form. The Blues and Chief's dominated the comp and have 7 forwards between them. The Crusaders came last and have the same amount. So glad it's paying off for us, Freedom Cup gone, Rugby Championship gone - what next Bledisloe?

Not alot of break dancing going down.

'I'm really disappointed': Former All Blacks disagree with Anzac Test outcome

Well obviously NZR is not beholden to revenue then Marshall.


And it simply never was a revenue issue. The AFL and NRL milk the ANZACs deaths and sacrifice for their own personal gain, they did not make their decisions based on “the rugby”, it’s all about taking over the day for the financial benefit. Why would NZR want to be a apart of that? We know RA would, but more than ever they are driven by the bottom line, and not the values that will be the factor in NZRs decision.


So you need to get outside you bubble Tim Horan and think about reality. First, did Australians need something to do on ANZAC day (assuming it was for the weekend celebration day proposal) or have they been brainwashed into disconnecting with their mates and connecting with the TV. What purpose does it provide other than financially essentially? Then ask yourself that same question for the communities out side of that, through Aus and then into NZ and around the pacific, world even.


We don’t need your shortshighted aussie brain calling out NZR thanks.


NZR also doesn’t want to destroy a good thing that is SRs revival amongst wider entertainment enjoyer base, and having a SR break/interruption was a big driver towards fans turning off previously. You’d have to wait at least a few years before they feel comfortable in disrupting that again. Actually having it at the beggining of 2027, World Cup year in Australia, might actually be the most sensible thing (though I actually really like Utiku’s idea). It would both drum up support and get the spotlight on rugby early in the season, helping anticipation/buildup for the big event, and more importantly, give the sides an extra game that year to get things right for a tilt at thge trophy.
