threemonkeysI'm heading south for a trip for a family reunion. There have been a bunch of (four) provincial rugby finals this weekend. The connection?
There are 26 rugby provincial unions in NZ, 6 of which make up the Crusaders provincial catchment area. I'm traveling through 4 of those Crusaders union areas this week. They are:
Marlborough - part of Tasman - Championship winners
Canterbury - Premiership winners (for the the 6th time in a row)
Mid Canterbury - Meads cup winners
South Canterbury - Lachore cup winners.
Do you think rugby will be a safe topic on my trip?
Notes
1 - One of the losing finalists was a Crusader catchment union as well.
2 - Lets not mention the Womens NPC final shall we ;)
