Shocked the hell out of me, knew they weren't doing too well but must admit didn't note the bottom of the table till the final standings.

Moves afoot to bring Counties back home rather than playing to pretty much an empty stadium at Mt Smart.

Start of year I gave the HBRU a blast for sacking Ratcliffe over in Bay land, the new bloke from the Wairapa has proved to be a real find. Nice work HBRU, you can now go back to your G&T induced slumber.
