@tim The problems at Glenfield must be pretty bad as that was their second default in a few weeks.

They couldnt even field a premier side last year (or possibly year before) so guess it is slightly better than previous but still very sad

Any names of note?
You might have noted that D'Angelo Leuila was listed as a Fraser Tech player in the Samoan squad announcement. There may be others but I haven't looked closely at the team lists.
It was based on a comment to me from someone associated with another club.

I thought this is fantastic. A guy most thought would be in the twilight of his cricket career, making his debut as a premier rugby player.
Great work from Broomy.

Went along yo watch the top of the table clash between OBM and Kamo.
OBM took the lollies 19-10.
Think they were up 13-3 at half time, in a pretty physical encounter.
Isi Manu again central to OBM game, but I'm really warming to Noah Cooper at the back, looks really assured, and with a booming right foot both out of hand and off the tee, could be an option for Northland at FB.
Kamo made hard work for themselves losing 7 of thier own lineouts in a row from about 20 mins through to about 60, several that were attacking lineouts in OBM 22.
Iose Brown the reserve prop made a massive impact the moment he came off the bench with huge carries and brutal defence.
Hohaia looked sharp today, good running, passing and vision.
Packs were pretty even, OBM just took thier chances a bit better.
Kamo were down 10-16 with about 5 to go, got a kick able penalty but opted to run but didn't come off, several minutes later Cooper slotted a 52m shot to put the game out of reach.
That result sees Kamo drop from 2nd to 4th:
OBM 49
Western Sharks 47
Mid Northern 46
Kamo 44United Kawakawa 11 back in 5th.

Missed Southern for one reason or other so was good to get back to game on Saturday. Unfortunately lost again to nail down wooden spoon spot:confounded_face: , boys just don't seem to be using the top 2 inches at moment, were up 28-7 and lost 35-33, mainly I though through one or 2 bad decisions.
Still such is the life of a supporter, just hope for better next week! -

I am such a child but that is a really unfortunate photograph.

I have seen a comment on facebook that Perenara is playing for his club at first five this weekend.

OBM maintain thier lead at the top, as the Sharks continue thier impressive run, while 3rd placed Mid Northern comfortably dispatched 4th placed Kamo in Kamo.
Top 4 unlikely to change, it is most likely just the positions of the top 3 that may change.
I ended up watching Kamo U16s play unbeaten Kerikeri U16s today, some great young talent on show.
