North Harbour prop Olivia Ward-Duin has been called in as injury cover for the Black Ferns squad for the 2019 Women’s Rugby Super Series.

Ward-Duin is just one of eight players who could make their debut or the Black Ferns, alongside hooker Forne Burkin (Canterbury) and Luka Connor (Bay of Plenty), locks Karli Faneva (Bay of Plenty) and Joanah Ngan-Woo (Wellington), loose forwards Kennedy Simon (Waikato) and Pia Tapsell (North Harbour), and halfback Arihiana Marino-Tauhinu (Counties Manukau).

Ngan-Woo and Marino-Tauhinu have both been included in previous Black Ferns squads but are yet to step out on the field.

Ward-Duin was a late call-up to the side, with 20-test hooker Aldora Itunu nursing a knee injury.

“Olivia has been part of our wider Black Ferns training squad for the past couple of years so she’s familiar with the high performance environment. This is her opportunity to work hard, learn from those around her, and take her game to the next level.

“We wish Aldora well in her recovery and are hopeful she can be considered for the Laurie O’Reilly Memorial Trophy matches in August,” said head coach Glen Moore.

“This is a very exciting squad – a real mix of experienced players and younger players ready to make their mark.

“We will be facing four of the top teams in the world in USA, Canada, France and England – it’s going to be fantastic festival of rugby.”

The squad assembles in Auckland tomorrow evening and will fly out to America on Saturday.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

It all began in late 2024 when I fell victim to a sophisticated phishing scam. An email, seemingly from a reputable crypto exchange, prompted me to update my security settings. Unbeknownst to me, this was a trap. Within hours, my Bitcoin holdings vanished from my wallet. Devastated, I scoured the internet for solutions. That’s when I stumbled upon NanoAethosCoinRecovery, a firm renowned for its expertise in retrieving stolen cryptocurrencies. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to them. Their team responded promptly, assuring me of their commitment to assist. They explained their process: utilizing advanced blockchain analysis tools to trace the movement of stolen funds and collaborating with exchanges to freeze and recover assets. Over the next few weeks, they provided regular updates, detailing the trail of my stolen Bitcoin. Their persistence paid off. They identified the wallet holding my funds and, through their network, managed to facilitate the return of my Bitcoin. This experience was a stark reminder of the risks in the crypto space and the importance of swift action and expert assistance. Thanks to NanoAethosCoinRecovery, I not only recovered my assets but also gained invaluable insights into safeguarding my digital wealth.

Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

These kids have been playing in leagues comparable to SR, not the NPC

The likes of games these guys get introduced to are closer to NPC than SR.


This is the team Sam played with in his first Leinster game;

Ed BYRNE

Tadgh MCELROY

Tom CLARKSON

Alex SOROKA

Brian DEENY

James CULHANE

Will CONNORSE

Max DEEGAN

Nick MCCARTHY

Sam PRENDERGAST

Dave KEARNEY

Ben BROWNLEE

Liam TURNER

Tommy O'BRIEN

Chris COSGRAVE

It’s too short, not as competitive and there are (usually) no test players in that comp.

You’re talking about something else altogether, sure, I’m not saying people around the world want to watch the NPC, but locally its just the same with a large amount of internationals playing, even All Blacks.

The evidence the NPC is not on par is in the U20 WC. SH sides haven’t won it since 2017

You obviously have had very little exposure to New Zealand rugby. The NPC is made up all the Super Rugby players, plus the club battlers trying to get a gig. Far above u20 rugby level.

Guys like Attisogbe, Gazzotti and Louis BB were in those sides. They were Top14 regulars at the time and are test players now.

What you need to understand is that NZ rugby is not like France, basically the complete opposite. AB jerseys are not just handed out like that and there is very little room for u20 as every player in these squads is battling for an AB jersey basically. Super Rugby only has 5 teams, not 14. Sure, you can argue more exposure is better, but season length is not going to do that, you just have to get onboard with how NZ does it. They are the best after all.

NZ used to chuck talented youngsters in at the deep end in SR. Carter, McCaw and quite a few others from the 2011 and 2015 WC winning teams were in SR at 20, 21 and ABs a year later.

You are definitely star struck. I like it, reminds me of playing Championship Manager. It’s no different now, heard of Wallace Sititi, Peter Lakai, Noah Hotham? NZ was one of the youngest squads going around and a good number of 20/21 yo’s coming into SR each year.


You don’t want players under pressure at that age, hence what teams do in those comps I mentioned. NZ definitely takes that to a different level for 17/18 yo, and even younger, but when you hear what happens to them when you don’t, I think that’s the right path.
