@JK Unfortunately had to work so was sweating on the result - which fortunately was the right one.

I imagine there must have been some top quality head patting, followed by some high fives, then a mass pile up to eat up 2 mins.

Ha ha.

Go the ref.

@Tim no news of Premier reserve or reserve grade under 85kgs?

Disappointing

[Tim]

@Hooroo Laugh it up, Hooroo. This should be a good game, and is streaming on Facebook.

I Can Not Wait!!! And here I was looking forward to watching the Chiefs come second on Saturday. This too!!! Brilliant!

@Hooroo Sorry buddy, but it's going to conflict with your plans to watch North Harbour's preseason game at Mahurangi Rugby Club.

University lead 20 to 5 after 47 mins. Their defence has been impressive, and their pack solid.

NZ 7s rep Antonio Kiri Kiri is having a good game at 7 for them.

Is Lyndon Dunshea a relative of Mitchell?

Old Boys Marist beat Mid Northern in the Whangarei premiership final 29-25

Kamo beat Old Boys Marist in Reserves final, 63-15

Big win for Varsity, 39 - 18. Forwards on top, and just better execution all round.

Suburbs halfback was pretty average, and their backline stood ludicrously deep.

Teenage replacement prop Michael Palmer (ex MAGS) is a giant.

@Tim totally agree with your coms,was at the game,the Varsity forwards were super impressive,wether it was getting players over the suburbs ball,or supporting their ball carriers..looked a a very fit and well coached team
Thought the fullback Sam Lawson was very impressive as well,capped off a fine game with an outstanding individual try..

Suburbs even though they fought back to 13-20,paid a high price for not dealing with their kick off recieves.
Anybody in your opinion look like Mitre 10 cup options..?

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris I really liked the look of Lawson too. It was kind of hard to judge individuals from a low quality stream, but he looked worth a spot.

Did he come through the Canterbury system?

They did it with the sun on their backs at Eden Park by controlling field position, scoring tries at key moments and muscling up to the big, physical and aggressive Suburbs pack.

Leading the way for Varsity was livewire openside flanker Antonio Kirikiri, man of the match, again signed by the Manawatu Turbos, who had hands in creating and saving tries, lock Lyndon Dunshea, No 8 Uini Fetalaiga and tighthead prop Marcel Renata, who scored a try.

It threatened to unravel for Varsity when experienced halfback Brenton Helleur was forced to leave the field with a bad knock to the head. But his replacement Henry Saker was sparky and gutsy.

@Steven-Harris Is the Cam Mather who coaches University the same one who played for North Harbour and Scotland?
