Huge result in Welly club rugby today, Petone beat Norths 88-14. Future Canes 10 Harry Godfrey at the forefront apparently.
-
Lol a little unfair having so much professional talent in that Petone backline. Riley Higgins with 3 tries playing centre, Punivai with three aswell and Godfrey with 1. Belgium Tuatagaloa (former Wellington, Canterbury NPC/ NZ Sevens) scored four tries.
-
@Canes4life Tuatagaloa also played for Samoa at the 2019 world cup.
Yeah that is a strong backing at that level. One of the Moana wingers Viliame Fine also plays for them when he's available too.
-
@African-Monkey same with Stanley Solomon (NZ Under 20s), Losi Filipo and Tjay Clarke (Wellington Lions), aswell as Lakai, Shields and Southall in the forwards. Could be the strongest club team in NZ if all players were available.
-
@Canes4life Lincoln University would be tough to beat with all players available.
Scott Barrett Fletcher Newell George Bell Seb Calder Jamie Hannah Cullen Grace Corey Kellow Jone Rova in the Crusaders. Then they have a few in NZ under 20s. Johnny Lee , Ben ODonovan , Liam Jack.
Also considering there have been the likes of Sam Gilbert , Ngane Punevai , Rameka Poihiipi, Connor Garden Bachop in last few years too.
Goes to show what scholarships do for your club.
Haven’t won a championship for a few years though. -

I went to watch the Marist-Varsity game as I was keen to see the new artificial turf. They call it 5G technology, which is a blend of artificial turf with sand and cork. The ball does bounce a little differently to grass. Varsity led 16-10 at HT.
-
I was prowling the sidelines for this win as well as the previous one. Believe me the long winless spell was made a bit more bearable thanks to probably the tastiest selection of tap beer in all the clubs in Wellington wonderfully crafted by Club sponsors and local brewery Waitoa little more than 400metres from the Axemen's headquarters. A lot of practice has been done over the spell to ensure the supporters maintained aftermatch function match fitness and goodness it was certainly needed until rather late Saturday night!!!!

Wellington club news:
Ardie Savea to play for Ories this weekend.
George Bower returns home to play for Avalon.
Harry Godfrey and Riley Higgins to play for Petone.
James O'Reilly to play for HOBM. -
@Canes4life perhaps he should turn out for Frankton.
-
Paul Dwyer has written in the ODT that Tamaiti Williams is likely to play club rugby in Dunedin tomorrow.

So Bower in Welly and Wiliams in Dunedin. Interesting. Why would Wiliams be in Dunedin, he's not from there is he?
-
Article says for personal reasons. Just a bit of a shitshow he gets to play for a topside
You wouldn’t read about it
Dwyer: The top 4: GI, Southern, Dunedin and Kaik
GI have pretty much wrapped up the Gallaway Trophy and top spot in the top six with a win over second placed Southern at the weekend.
A little birdie tells me Tamaiti Williams, the ABs’ prop, will play club Rugby in Dunedin tomorrow — you heard it here first. Tamaiti is down here for personal reasons and the All Blacks coaches are keen for him to play and apparently contacted the Otago coach to make it happen.
Tamaiti, through Christian Lio-Willie, asked if he could play for Kaikorai and the Otago coach requested that.
The CRC — while supporting him in getting a game — understandably had serious reservations about playing for one of the top three sides against one of the bottom three sides in Taieri. It has been widely reported that Taieri have been battling in the front row all year.
The CRC suggested he play for Taieri, as the other bottom sides were playing each other. Eminently sensible I would have thought. But the higher-ups have decided, and apparently he will play for Kaik. This should have been a great story, but for me sadly tarnished.

Would be interesting to see if this is true because he has also been listed on the bench for his Burnside club in the Canterbury Metro
