Two matches on Sunday to complete the opening round and first up its Tasman at home to Hawkes Bay. Tasman were good enough to be promoted to the Premiership at the end of last season and many of their key players have had plenty of exposure in the just-completed Super Rugby season. The big signing for them is former All Black Jimmy Cowan and his experience will be vital as he joins forces with the likes of Tom Marshall, Liam Squire, Shane Christie, and Joe Wheeler. Hawkes Bay was another side that briefly got the feel of the Ranfurly Shield last season and they’ll be keen to set another goal this season, promotion to the top division. Ihaia West was a revelation last season and he was easily able to transition that form into Super Rugby and he’ll be thrilled that one of the games wrecking balls, Robbie Fruean, will be running outside of him. This is game that Premiership side Tasman should be able to account for Championship side Hawkes Bay.
