Two articles about Wellington club rugby.
In this article, you can find out which school leavers will be playing for which club. There are some players from other provinces.
And in this article, an overview of club rugby players who have moved clubs, have retired or are out with injury, have gone to other provinces, or have arrived from other provinces. Interesting from an NPC point of view (some of these players have already been mentioned in other threads):
Fritz Rayasi (gone to Northland)
Losi Filipo (gone to BoP)
Tolu Fahamokioa (gone to Waikato)
Regan Verney (returns from injury, will play for OBU)
Kaliopasi Uluilakepa (gone to Northland)If there are similar articles from other provinces, please, post them in this thread.

So Mrs Gunner casually mentioned to me the other day that there was a new guy at her work called Fritz and he’s going to play for Northland....
Could have told me waaay sooner and my club could have head hunted him

A few notable names starting in Wellington Club rugby this week:
Piri Weepu on Petone's bench, thought it might be prop but looks like halfback.
Vince Aso playing for Petone at centre.
Regan Verney back playing for OBU after having a great first season and then falling of the face of the earth. -

My club Southern have got NPOB at home this week, so will be down there.
Lachlan Boshier turning out for NPOBCan't get whole draw to copy to put in here.
Do you fellas mind putting up what club you support, helps with interest etc. -
Zane Kapeli is playing for his old club (Hamilton Marist) this weekend, and based on appearing in a video of the Chiefs gym session, looks to be Cane's replacement. Sullivan, Reihana and Poihipi are also in team lists.
Edit: Roe playing for HOB.

The competition starts this week in the Waikato. I'm involved a little bit at my club Te Rapa. We have recovered well since last year with our B team re started, new players joining and former players coming back after a year or more away. Our 60th year this year and we will have shindig on Queens Birthday weekend. I will continue to run around with the Prezzies. One of the guys who restarted the Prezzies is starting for the A's . He is aiming for the century of games. To get a blazer you have to play 100
Counties are on the second round with a break at Easter. Where I grew up, Onewhero , is celebrating their 100th year just before they get to 101 due to Covid doing its thing. They have an Italian coach who was semi-pro and did some learning at the Crusaders.

Yep mikey, I always like to know what locl club people support, and we can come into this thread and talk them up or whatever after weekend. keep each up with how they going.
Why should we just have to worry about Super etc, there a lot of rugby we can get into. -

Have to say it pretty ordinary day here in Hawera today, may have to watch games from inside the clubrooms, it wet and windy with forecast saying it getting worse.
I see NPOB have got Lachlan Boshier starting against us today, so will keep and eye on him.C'mon Southern!

@dan54 yeah bit of a shitty day here.
Gonna head along to watch Kamo v Waipu.
My clubs are MId Western and Kamo (former due to playing junior rugby there, latter due to being involved with coaching junior rugby for 8 years and playing a handful of games for them) although I did play 2 seasons for Marist, before they became Old BOys Marist.

Te Rapa is my current club. Onewhero is my home district club. Tairua was my very first club so I keep an eye on their results when they get a team out and also Gisborne HSOB that I spent half a season at.
Te Kohanga a small club in the same region as Onewhero has re started after a 12 year hiatus. Tuakau re started last year as well. With the growth of Pokeno hopefully it continues for that part of Counties Manukau.

@dan54 In all the time I have been in the Waikato, Hautapu is one club I haven't played against or been to their club. My clubs have always been mainly in Division one. Never been to Otorohanga either.
