@Duluth Crazy to see 41 year old Census Johnson return to Ponsonby after 14 years and 313 games in Europe for Toulouse, Saracens, Racing 92 and Bayonne. Last played in 2020.

@Tim

That last month looks tough

[Tim]

A couple of big club games this weekend: Grammar TEC vs Manukau Rovers, and University vs Ponsonby.

@Tim Memphis Ngaruhe another lad like Corey Evans from Waipapakauri , north of Kaitaia .,quite a tidy young first five

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris Good info!

Are University a contender this year?

[Daffy Jaffy]

Looks like the Ponsonby front row factory is still producing -

[Higgins]

@Daffy-Jaffy Holy crap, looks like some grandads are in for an expensive season ice cream wise for each try, especially the small kid with the affro. Hard to believe he has such beautiful running and stepping skills at such a young age. And there were a good number of others too.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim yes they are ,excellent loose forwards and good in the halves ..will also have Marcel Renata and Taine Plumtree on deck in the forwards

[Tim]

Rather impressive backline for GTEC this weekend!

Looking like University, Grammar TEC, and Manukau Rovers competing for the title this year.

39 year old John Senio on the bench for Ponsonby this weekend.

Hamdahn Tuipulotu and Aleks Dabek are playing Shute Shield club rugby for the Western Sydney Two Blues this year. Dabek was captain (at number 8 ) for their most recent game.

I haven't paid enough attention to the team line-ups in Auckland Club rugby.

I just saw Afa Moleli on the team sheet for University (23). Has he played for that club before (I mean previous weeks) and has anyone seen him play?
He's a really good talent from Napier Boys', mostly playing at 10 or fullback.
