He was on the Tech bench the week before (1 Aug) but not on 25 July.

No idea if it is that PO but Waikato doesn't need a 33-yr old winger.

My team that I manage, Te Rapa had their first win beating Pirongia who are still winless. It was a replay of last years Division 1 final. We got ahead by 14 but almost lost it, a nail biting last five minutes. 46 Year old Keith Lowen came on for Pirongia in the second half and was very influential.

Liam Messam is quite likely to play for Raglan in next week's Division 2 Final playing Old Boys Guzzlers C team who are unbeaten for about six years.

@Tim

We have tried to avoid, where possible, Marist clubs, High School Old Boys' and Varsity clubs because they represent massive institutions (the Catholic church; traditional single-sex state education networks; universities) 

Gold.

[Bones]

@Tim haha I decided to click the link and see that's content that has to be paid for....one of my clubs was marist and old boys, what a horrible dirty combination. Apart from being brilliant and all about community. I had no it represented those institutions when there.

Auckland, North Harbour and Counties Saturday games will probably cancelled. Waiting to see what Waikato will do.

If Northland club rugby goes ahead, I'm guessing both Wellsford and Tomarata will have to default their games as they're in the Super City borders.

Wellsford are due to host Hikurangi, both teams are out of contention for finals spots so won't make much difference.

Tomarata are due travel play a Semi Final against Mid Western, so would be a real shame if they have to default.

In the Waikato, if we stay at level 2 it is just Premier A and B grade semi finals and the Division Two Final, all played at FMG and probably live streamed on facebook. All other grades postponed for a week.
