Williams and his partner had a premature baby, and it appears she was born in Dunedin so is probably still in hospital down there.
Yes this is known news and a couple months old.
I didn't say it was new news. At least one person on this thread was wondering aloud why Williams would be in Dunedin. I offered a likely explanation as to why. That's all.
Yeah mate. Didn’t mean for it to across like that, was just stating incase people weren’t aware that it’s a couple months old.
The old classic message coming across the wrong way on the fern haha.

@Chris i do love hearing stuff like that, seems like such an easy win to get down and do some stuff with your old club. Back in the day Taine Randell was often seen down at Dunedin even if not playing
Yeah me too it is good to see,Ritchie has been at the Saturday games as well.
Don’t ever forget where you came from holds true. -

If the weather is good I am trying to watch all the Premiership/Championship clubs at least once. Just two out-of-town Championship clubs to go.
This week was Fraser Tech v United Matamata Sports. UMS won with a penalty with time up. Varsity with the big upset win over Hautapu.

Semi final day down in Dunedin. Green Island finished top after round robin, and are facing a pretty hot Southern side looking for three championships on the trot. Southern have been building well, especially after the return of Jack Leslie at 10. Green Island will be wanting Finn Hurley to be heavily involved from the back. Big Oli Haig will.be coming off the bench.
Dunedin will be playing Varsity in the second semi. I reckon the winner of this will tip up Southern in the final. Dunedin has a better front row with Vaka and Wingham. Varsity has better locks with Tinnock and Aho. Palmer for Dunedin is quality, just has redhead problems. In the backs, Varsity will be focusing their attack around Umaga-Jensen at centre. Jeremiah Asi will ne making his return after a long injury lay off as well. While the young Dunedin back three of the two Southland contracted players Tayne Harvey and Augustine, as well as Otago injury replacement Kyan Rangitutia should cause issues.
I'm picking a Dunedin v Southern final. Repeat of 2023. Bearing in mind this pick is made from my lounge in the Hutt Valley, on the back of reading and watching club footy write ups and videos.
