    Ponsonby crushed East Tamaki 67-21. Freedom Vaha'akolo ran in a hat-trick, while Stephen Perofeta scored another double to prove his fitness to the Blues. The No 10 now has five tries in two appearances for Ponies.

      @KiwiMurph I've noticed all the Blues squad members from outside the Blues region have been thrown to Ponsonby. It's usually been spread around in previous seasons.

        @African-Monkey might be a bit of a plan to make it easier for out of towners to acclimatise to Auckland. Keep them together for a high quality central city club.

              @KiwiMurph Yup good call. I'm not complaining, with Ponsonby being my former club.

                  Didnt Eden a few months ago re-do their field to some hybrid style costing nearly $1 million?

                      And @KiwiMurph sorry no idea about the field revamp. Just know it was a beautiful field (early in the season) with a great atmosphere. And did quite like swimming in the mud through June and July ...

                          Eden have made the biggest progress of any club in the last 12 months. They upset University last season in the Portola Trophy Final and have won almost every 7s tournament they've entered.

                            Awesome stuff.

                            When I was playing we had difficulty avoiding spoonage. IIRC we never did finish last but we gave it a nudge.

                            Eden beating Pobsonby would never be dreamed of.

                              @Dice The Costa brothers were big pickups for them. They were highly regarded at Rosmini. They certainly are a team on the up and the gap between the big and small clubs is certainly closing with East Tamaki and Manukau becoming very competitive in recent seasons.

                                  @Tim Watched this yesterday. Lump of lard from the BB video was hilarious.

                                      @Tim It appears the answer to the Blues is to clone Spencer.

                                          Blues last 7 games they are 5 wins 1 draw and 1 controversial loss.

                                          That includes trips to Australia, South Africa and Samoa.

                                          Tana and the young team deserve some serious props for that.

                                          Blues are on the rise.
