How are things like this allowed? He seems to alternate clubs between the combined Hutt Old Boys Marist and Auckland Marist on an almost weekly basis.
@Higgins my understanding is you are able to be registered to 2 clubs in different provinces, although 1 will be the 'main' club and they need to release him. For finals isnt there usually a rule about having had to play 3 times for a team?
We been trying to get one of our boys back from an Auckland school to play for us this weekend and next cos they not playing, but they wont release him (understandably given he is on a scholarship) even though he is able to be registered with us too

Rayasi at fullback for Marist.
It's good that Rayasi is getting minutes there with Trainor still out. He might need to play some FB if Trainor is not recovered by the time of the NPC or if Melani decides to play for Samoa at the RWC.
-
@Dice good option for Auckland having Rayasi at the back. You could then play Tele'a and Clarke on the wings and Faiane / Manu in the midfield

So, have just registered that the mighty Eden is in the semi-finals of the Gallaher Shield.
Let me repeat that:
Eden is in the semi-finals of the Gallaher Shield.Absolutely awesome.
When I played (early 90s) we couldn't even make the Portola Trophy Round.
One year we were one point away (31-30 v Mt Wellington) from spooning.
Just heard it on Radio Sport. And agree with fhe sentiment that it would have to be the biggest match in Eden's history.
Best of luck to the team and the Club.

Any thoughts on Freedom Vaha’akolo? He's scored a ton of tries (21) this year for Ponsonby.
Solid player. With Trainor still out, he could be someone in the mix for Auckland as he covers fullback and wing.
No clips of him online except for a solo try he scored when he was at Grammar. Try is around the 57 second mark.

Ponsonby will be favorites to win the final, but Marist with the additions of Telea and Rayasi will be tough. It was a close game between these guys the last time they met and Telea wasn't part of that game.
