NZ Club Rugby 2024 ( General)
-
Huge result in Welly club rugby today, Petone beat Norths 88-14. Future Canes 10 Harry Godfrey at the forefront apparently.
-
Lol a little unfair having so much professional talent in that Petone backline. Riley Higgins with 3 tries playing centre, Punivai with three aswell and Godfrey with 1. Belgium Tuatagaloa (former Wellington, Canterbury NPC/ NZ Sevens) scored four tries.
-
@Canes4life Tuatagaloa also played for Samoa at the 2019 world cup.
Yeah that is a strong backing at that level. One of the Moana wingers Viliame Fine also plays for them when he's available too.
-
@African-Monkey same with Stanley Solomon (NZ Under 20s), Losi Filipo and Tjay Clarke (Wellington Lions), aswell as Lakai, Shields and Southall in the forwards. Could be the strongest club team in NZ if all players were available.
-
@Canes4life Lincoln University would be tough to beat with all players available.
Scott Barrett Fletcher Newell George Bell Seb Calder Jamie Hannah Cullen Grace Corey Kellow Jone Rova in the Crusaders. Then they have a few in NZ under 20s. Johnny Lee , Ben ODonovan , Liam Jack.
Also considering there have been the likes of Sam Gilbert , Ngane Punevai , Rameka Poihiipi, Connor Garden Bachop in last few years too.
Goes to show what scholarships do for your club.
Haven’t won a championship for a few years though.
