This is despite people from the competition stating that players will be available for the international windows. D'Arcy caught up with the head of the NZ Rugby Players Association Rob Nichol to find out the latest news on the competition. D'Arcy shares his thoughts on why only 7 All Blacks being released for NPC quarter final duty isn't enough.
