Bit lower scoring this week, with Moerewa picking up thier 1st win since promotion (i think) at end of 2019
Didnt get to any of these games this week as I went to watch Mid Western jubilee match v Vikings (which had many northland names from years gone by)

Two articles about Wellington club rugby.
In this article, you can find out which school leavers will be playing for which club. There are some players from other provinces.
And in this article, an overview of club rugby players who have moved clubs, have retired or are out with injury, have gone to other provinces, or have arrived from other provinces. Interesting from an NPC point of view (some of these players have already been mentioned in other threads):
Fritz Rayasi (gone to Northland)
Losi Filipo (gone to BoP)
Tolu Fahamokioa (gone to Waikato)
Regan Verney (returns from injury, will play for OBU)
Kaliopasi Uluilakepa (gone to Northland)If there are similar articles from other provinces, please, post them in this thread.

So Mrs Gunner casually mentioned to me the other day that there was a new guy at her work called Fritz and he’s going to play for Northland....
Could have told me waaay sooner and my club could have head hunted him 🤣

A few notable names starting in Wellington Club rugby this week:
Piri Weepu on Petone's bench, thought it might be prop but looks like halfback.
Vince Aso playing for Petone at centre.
Regan Verney back playing for OBU after having a great first season and then falling of the face of the earth. -
@canes4life Verney came up here for a season (2018?) think he played a handful of game for Hora Hora, was selected in the Northland squad but never pulled on the Cambridge blue strip due to injury.
-
Zane Kapeli is playing for his old club (Hamilton Marist) this weekend, and based on appearing in a video of the Chiefs gym session, looks to be Cane's replacement. Sullivan, Reihana and Poihipi are also in team lists.
Edit: Roe playing for HOB.

Is number 21 the reserve prop?

The competition starts this week in the Waikato. I'm involved a little bit at my club Te Rapa. We have recovered well since last year with our B team re started, new players joining and former players coming back after a year or more away. Our 60th year this year and we will have shindig on Queens Birthday weekend. I will continue to run around with the Prezzies. One of the guys who restarted the Prezzies is starting for the A's . He is aiming for the century of games. To get a blazer you have to play 100
Counties are on the second round with a break at Easter. Where I grew up, Onewhero , is celebrating their 100th year just before they get to 101 due to Covid doing its thing. They have an Italian coach who was semi-pro and did some learning at the Crusaders.

Why should we just have to worry about Super etc, there a lot of rugby we can get into. -
