In All The Excitement

I forgot to mention that the Premier Development team had a great five tries to two win over Woodlands in the curtain raiser on Saturday.  Nice to see some of the old hands like Rangi, Pockets and Sheener turning out.  The quote of the day went along the lines of this – Andrew Rowland, the [...]

Blues 23, Papists 17

HT 13-5 – match report is here (scroll down) Daniel Townson 2 tries (he always manages to get over the chalk against the green fellas) Filimoni Tagicakibau does a Manu Vatuvei off the bench for another, and Rua finishes off with one conversion and two penalties.  Got a wee bit tight at the end, but [...]

Sunny With A 90% Chance of Pain

Cracking day for footy.  Just been down to Blues International Stadium and the ground is in perfect nick.  Thanks to all the bogans for staying off it in your crummy little donut-making cars last night.  3pm kickoff here we come!

OK, So Fred’s Son Might Have Scored 24 Points, but…

Victory was all-but guaranteed when centre Kenny Lynn scored their second try in the 56th minute after Lions winger Tonderai Chavhanga failed to force a bouncing ball in his dead ball area, followed soon after by the penalty try. and Lock Hayden Triggs score (sic) their only first-half try, on the half hour, a brilliant [...]

Nota Bene For Saturday

Due to a scheduling cock-up, the aftermatch will again be held at the Speights Ale House after the match against the Papists.  Thanks to Steph and Marina for letting us take over two weeks in a row.

No Silverware. Yet.

From the HK Tens final: The Aliens successfully defended their Hong Kong Tens crown overcoming a resilient ULR Samurai 10-0 in a nervy final. It was their ninth overall title for the side, who enjoy a long standing history at the tournament. They key to the Aliens’ victory was a rock solid defence which only conceded two [...]

This Just In from the Hong Kong 10s

The big game of the day saw Samurai tackle the Penguins under the lights. Samurai, visibly up for the Pool C decider, bossed the breakdown with fly-half James Wilson looking composed and classy in the 24-12 win. No mention of Horts, Fai or Elliot for the Legends though…quarter finals later on tonight: Aliens v Wild [...]

March 27: Mighty Blue Machine v Marist @ Blues

Kick off at 3pm.  The Premier Bs have another pre-season match, this time against Woodlands at 1pm at Blues International Stadium.  Once again, thanks to being the most photogenic and most exciting team in Southland rugby, we’ll be on the telly.

Apologies

Have been shifting the site to a new and easier to use format.  Those looking for a result…Preston Russell Law Blues opened the season in atrocious conditions at Blues International Stadium with an 18-13 win over Midlands on March 20.  Southland’s premier five-eighth James Wilson got us home with an outstanding performance, kicking six penalties [...]
