The Samoans were left to rue ill-discipline, conceding two yellow cards and a barrage of penalties, mostly at the breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>Playing into a moderate wind, the M\u0101ori made a cohesive start with ball in hand. This led to fullback Khya Wilson kicking two early penalties to give them a 6-0 lead. The second of these penalties came moments after they had gone close to scoring the game\u2019s first try but openside flanker TJ Fermanis knocked on across the line.<\/p>\n<p>The Samoans hit back straight away with the first try of the game, fullback Campbell Cowie sprinting through to score after a turnover on the M\u0101ori 22. The try was unconverted and the M\u0101ori led 6-5 after about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Samoans soon scored their second try, which was a combination of good luck and skill. First five Ty Poe cross-kicked out to right wing Fereti Soloa who couldn\u2019t catch the ball with his hands but booted it ahead on the fly in-field towards the goalposts and flanker DJ Taoipu was the first of three players following up to score the try under the posts to make it 12-6 to the Samoans.<\/p>\n<p>The M\u0101ori replied shortly afterwards with their first try, scored from a penalty and lineout in the far corner, to close the gap to 12-11.<\/p>\n<p>The Samoans kicked a penalty to extend their lead to 15-11 but went into halftime with a forward recently sent to the sinbin.<\/p>\n<p>Straight after halftime Maori flanker Api McMillan-Parata delivered a lovely short ball for lock Dylan Williamson who burst through a gap and he offloaded to halfback Declan Hay, who kicked ahead, for the Samoan defenders to fumble and McMillan-Parata to score \u00a0the try. fullback Wilson\u2019s conversion put them up 18-15.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson soon extended the lead to 21-15 with a penalty following a second Samoan sinbinning.<\/p>\n<p>The Samoans weren\u2019t about to lie down, and they regained momentum and field position and in a multi-phase build-up went close to scoring but were held out. However, M\u0101ori centre Andy Ellis was sinbinned to make it 14 on 14 for the next several minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Samoans packed down a scrum to the right of the posts and No 8 Hemi Fermanis peeled off blindside and delivered a straightforward try to first five-turned halfback Ty Poe. Right wing Soloa kicked the wide angle conversion to put the Samoans up 22-21.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14932\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?resize=1536%2C865&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1V0A9562.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, the M\u0101ori had the final say in the scoring, the Samoans losing\u00a0 a second player to the sin-bin and Wilson kicking a resulting penalty to make the score 24-22 with several minutes to play.

After a series of pick-and-goes that came up desperately short of the line, Wellington College took a tap penalty and scored just inside the corner flag, followed by an excellent conversion from the sideline.<\/p>\n<p>As well as rain, the wind was picking up in the second half which added to the tough nature of the final. Silverstream, however, were able to grind out their third try after a concerted period on attack to retake the lead at 22-17 with a try under the posts.<\/p>\n<p>With about five minutes to play, Wellington College had one last chance to score following another raid and a yellow card to a Silverstream defender for a high tackle. Wellington College spun the ball wide again but knocked on in the corner and Silverstream escaped the danger.<\/p>\n<p>Silverstream climbed back on to attack, built several phases from a penalty and lineout in the corner, and scored the match-winner with about two minutes left on referee\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#wpls-logo-showcase-slider-2 .wpls-fix-box,\n\t\t\t#wpls-logo-showcase-slider-2 .wpls-fix-box img.wp-post-image{max-height:250px; }\n\t\t<\/style>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wpls-wrap wpls-logo-showcase-slider-wrp wpls-logo-clearfix wpls-design-1 \" data-conf=\"{&quot;slides_column&quot;:4,&quot;slides_scroll&quot;:1,&quot;dots&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;arrows&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;autoplay_interval&quot;:3000,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;rtl&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:800,&quot;center_mode&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpls-logo-showcase logo_showcase wpls-logo-slider  sliderimage_hide_border \" id=\"wpls-logo-showcase-slider-2\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpls-logo-cnt\">\n\t<div class=\"wpls-fix-box\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roblawmax.co.nz\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-image\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/rmax24.jpg?fit=220%2C120&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"wpls-logo-cnt\">\n\t<div class=\"wpls-fix-box\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geeksonwheels.co.nz\/locations\/wellington-computer-repair\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-image\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/images.jpg?fit=296%2C170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"wpls-logo-cnt\">\n\t<div class=\"wpls-fix-box\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thecallcentre.co.nz\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-image\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TCC-Logo-400x260-1.jpg?fit=400%2C260&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"wpls-logo-cnt\">\n\t<div class=\"wpls-fix-box\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.partnersfinance.co.nz\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-image\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/part2.jpg?fit=300%2C195&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above: The St Pat&#8217;s First XV with the Premiership title.
