I fully expect to see wallabies play in the NRC.
It's not a world cup year there's no need to rest any of these players.
Cheika needs to pick his 23/24 men of a 30 man squad & send the remaining players back to their NRC affiliation (When it's logistically convenient) to get some much needed game reps.
Another reason. Australia just lost 0-25 matches to the Kiwis. It's a disappointing result because it's never happened in the history of the game. I think every representative player should be put on notice. They should be tested from the hungrier bunch of amateurs who play club footy but were invited to extend their seasons with a NRC invite.

Really good question why can't attach NRC logo for team follow to your profile - as we know this competition could do with more support / profile and would be a way of doing it within G&GR community. Any reason @rugbyreg why can't be done?

So could you find someone in IT willing to give this small help.....as imagine not big change given already set up ability to load images in profiles etc.

I am actually looking forward to seeing our 120kg hooker - Jordan - play as given behind the pecking order you otherwise don't get to see these young bright things talked about as next upcoming players. What NRC about....giving us a chance to see next forthcoming rising stars and see how rising stars of club rugby can also fare against Super Rugby players as well as other top club rugby players.
you do realise this is a completely volunteer site? We are all busy people with other jobs and other priorities? This is just a service to the rugby community.

Yeah mate I do which is where you missed where I was heading with this which is if you actually asked for an idea on what could be done I would have offer my next point of where I was going with this (and with an offer of some free help).
Which is why I was going to suggest why not just ask any IT volunteers that could help do this as think you would find there are plenty of folks in IT industry that peruse this site. You have misinterpreted the angle I was going down which was to outline there are plenty of IT folk on this site.
And actually if you want to know I happen to work in the IT space and could have sourced such a service probably for you for free. But nope I won't bother now offering that.

Can't wait for the team announcements.
Something I've been pondering but wouldn't it be cool if we saw some Australian based Fiji players align with the NRC Fiji squad. I.E Radike Samo. I understand the IRB eligibility rules when it comes to a TEST match but considering this is a Domestic competition would cameo appearances be forbidden or relaxed if a international player with Fiji heritage wanted to align with Fiji in this competition.

This isn't a Fiji test team or even their secondary team, it won't count towards test eligibility

This whole thing seems to have been blown out of proportions.. Why didn't you just offer when he said the logos were done when they had an IT dude on the site?

Yep it's no different then what the Sunwolves do & Jaguares do. Ed Quirk isn't getting caps for Japan everytime he runs out for the Sunwolves.
I guess what I'm trying to say is Fiji Test Team and Fiji NRC Team can't be distinguished differently because there is no mascot attached like a Sunwolve or Jaguares. It'lll simply just be known as Fiji in this comp.

They might yet add one when things are officially launched.
Having said that, I think they were just Fiji back in the days of Super 6 and the like.

It's the Fiji Warriors. Just read it right down the bottom of this foxsports NRC webpage.
