Two division one match-ups between Wellington Maori and Poverty Bay Maori at 12.15pm and Canterbury Maori and Hawke\u2019s Bay Maori at 2.45pm. This tournament continues tomorrow with three more matches scheduled.<\/p>\n<p><em>Update 3: The Wellington M\u0101ori side has beaten Poverty Bay M\u0101ori 55-7 in the opening match of this tournament.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Update 5: The Canterbury M\u0101ori team has beaten their Hawke&#8217;s Bay counterparts 32-20 in the second match.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wellington v Canterbury in 1 v 2 fixture on Saturday at 1.30pm, Poverty Bay v Hawke&#8217;s Bay in 3 v 4 at 11.00am and Wellington Invitational v Manawatu in Division 2 one-off decider, also at 11.00am.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is also <strong>\u2018Top 4\u2019 weekend<\/strong> for the country\u2019s leading secondary school First XVs. Semi-final games at Massey University today and Finals Day on Sunday, with the Girls final scheduled for 10.30am and the Boys decider at 12.30pm. Hurricanes schools involved are Napier Boys\u2019 High School (Boys) and MANUKURA (Girls).<\/p>\n<p><em>Update 1: MANUKURA have beaten Auckland Girls&#8217; Grammar School 32-31 in the opening Top 4 match of the day. MANUKURA lead 29-5 and later 32-19 but had to survive a withering comeback over the final 10 minutes from the Auckland and Blues champions.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Update 2: Christchurch Girls&#8217; High School have won the second girls Top 4 semi-final, pulling away in the second half to beat Manurewa High School 39-5.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Update 4: It&#8217;s an all-Super 8 Boys Top 4 final. Napier Boys&#8217; High School beat Westlake Boys&#8217; High School 40-17 (26-3 halftime) using their lineout and committed second half defence to prevail. Hamilton Boys&#8217; High School beat Dunedin&#8217;s John McGlashan College 48-14 in a more competitive fixture than the score-line shows. A key moment occurred just before halftime when Hamilton broke out and scored an 85-metre &#8220;14-point&#8221; try which put them up 27-7 at halftime. Carlos Spencer&#8217;s son Payton had a strong game from fullback and kicked 8 from 8 kicks.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Wellington U19s<\/strong> will need just a solitary competition point to retain the title from their third and final <strong>Central Region Shield Hurricanes U19s competition<\/strong> match against <strong>Manawatu U19s<\/strong> at Lyndhurst Park at 1.00pm.<\/p>\n<p>Wellington are without the services of Bradley Crichton and Siale Lauaki, both heading to Christchurch on Sunday in preparation for the NZ U19 tour to South Africa. Dominic Ropeti captains the side from blindside flanker and other key players to watch tomorrow include openside flanker Toby Crosby and first five Chicago Doyle. Strength off the bench too. Wellington are coming off a 54-3 win at the same venue against the Hurricanes Heartland U20s. In torrential rain, Manawatu pressed hard for 50 minutes against Hawke\u2019s Bay last weekend but were over-ran in the back end of the game and lost 38-0.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Hawke\u2019s Bay Junior Magpies<\/strong> are lying in wait to take the title should Wellington stumble and they beat the <strong>Hurricanes Heartland U20s<\/strong> with a bonus point in their fixture tomorrow at Napier<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Wellington Centurions<\/strong> are back at the Petone Rec at 1.00pm for their penultimate game of their 2022 campaign, hosting the <strong>Hawke\u2019s Bay Saracens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Centurions have a long injury list, but welcome back captain and lock Hugo Plummer from Wellington Lions duty last week. Amongst other changes, Harrison Boyle moves from fullback to first five, Callum Harkin starts at second five and Zane Ainslie comes into the side at fullback. Logan Love trades places with Kyle Preston off the bench at halfback.<\/p>\n<p>The Hawke&#8217;s Bay side features a clutch of former and current Premier club players in their team, so will be strong contenders to take this one.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the second round of the <strong>Hurricanes Youth Rugby Council\u2019s U18<\/strong> competition, with two matches at Evans Bay Park in Wellington and two at Napier.<\/p>\n<p>At Evans Bay Park, the double header starts at <em><strong>11.30am<\/strong><\/em> with the opening match between the <strong>Wellington M\u0101ori U18s<\/strong> and the <strong>Horowhenua-Kapiti U18s. <\/strong><em>Note time change, first reported as 2.30pm for this game.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The second game at Evans Bay kicks off at 1.00pm between the <strong>Wellington Samoa U18s<\/strong> and the <strong>Whanganui U18s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At Napier, the <strong>Wellington Centurions U18<\/strong>s and the <strong>Poverty Bay U18s<\/strong> meet in one match at Tremain Field at 2.30pm and the other is between the <strong>Hawke\u2019s Bay Saracens U18s<\/strong> and the <strong>Wairarapa Bush U18<\/strong>s.<\/p>\n<p>As scheduled, the third round of the <strong>Hurricanes Youth Rugby Council\u2019s U18 Girls<\/strong> tournament sees the Centurions U18 Girls and RDO Wellington U18 Girls meet at William Jones Park at 12.30pm, the Wairarapa-Bush U18 Girls and Wellington M\u0101ori U18 Girls play at Masterton at 12.30pm and the Horowhenua-Kapiti U18 Girls and Whanganui U18 Girls meet in Levin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wellington\u2019s U16 teams<\/strong> are also in action tomorrow in a game of three halves, as they prepare for the upcoming Hurricanes U16s series.<\/p>\n<p>In three matches involving lower North Island <strong>Heartland<\/strong> sides, Horowhenua-Kapiti are hosting King Country at Levin at 2.30pm, Whanganui are hosting South Canterbury at Cooks Gardens at 2.30pm and Wairarapa Bush are away against Thames Valley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manawatu<\/strong> will be hunting their first win of the <strong>NPC<\/strong> against <strong>Counties-Manukau<\/strong> at Pukekohe on Saturday night, while the <strong>Wellington Lions<\/strong> will be out to extend their purple patch against <strong>Otago<\/strong> at home at 2.05pm on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<h3>Teamlists (as received):<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Wellington U19s<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Jonty Bird<\/li>\n<li>Leon Tuiloma<\/li>\n<li>Christian Semu<\/li>\n<li>Maea Tema-Schmidt<\/li>\n<li>Connor Chatfield<\/li>\n<li>Dominic Ropeti ( c )<\/li>\n<li>Toby Crosby<\/li>\n<li>Pene To&#8217;o<\/li>\n<li>Muri Stewart<\/li>\n<li>Chicago Doyle<\/li>\n<li>Garry Tuilekutu<\/li>\n<li>Tofuka Paongo<\/li>\n<li>Elijah Maene-Lokeni<\/li>\n<li>Keisar Vailalo<\/li>\n<li>Noah Guise<\/li>\n<li>Moses Tuifao-Galuvao<\/li>\n<li>Sio Titie<\/li>\n<li>Valentine Parker<\/li>\n<li>Markus Stowers-McCarthy<\/li>\n<li>Neru Sheck<\/li>\n<li>Sam Howling<\/li>\n<li>Junior Paulo<\/li>\n<li>Tyrone Maraku<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Wellington Centurions U18s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15249\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cent-U18s.jpg?resize=557%2C749&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cent-U18s.jpg?resize=223%2C300&amp;ssl=1 223w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cent-U18s.jpg?w=574&amp;ssl=1 574w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wellington Centurions Men\u2019s v Hawke\u2019s Bay Saracens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 Meinrad Fitisemanu<\/p>\n<p>2 Josh Southall<\/p>\n<p>3 Ha\u2019amea Ahio<\/p>\n<p>4 Hugo Plummer (C)<\/p>\n<p>5 Ezekiel Fiso<\/p>\n<p>6 Jordan Gillies<\/p>\n<p>7 William Rua<\/p>\n<p>8 Mika Alaifatu<\/p>\n<p>9 Logan Love<\/p>\n<p>10 Harrison Boyle<\/p>\n<p>11 Pena Va\u2019a<\/p>\n<p>12 Callum Harkin<\/p>\n<p>13 Lester Maulolo<\/p>\n<p>14 Joe Faleafaga<\/p>\n<p>15 Zane Ainslie<\/p>\n<p>16 Luca Rees<\/p>\n<p>17 Nonu Tuia<\/p>\n<p>18 Aisea Mafile&#8217;o<\/p>\n<p>20 Jimmy Hewitt<\/p>\n<p>21 Kyle Preston<\/p>\n<p>22 Brandyn Laursen<\/p>\n<p>23 Isi Saumaki<\/p>\n<p>25 Daley Ena<\/p>\n<p>Injured \/ Unavailable: Akira Ieremia, Albert Polu, Brett Manaia, Cam Ferriera, Ethan Webster-Nonu, George Sims, Joyner Gaulofa, Noah Ironside, Pakai Turia, Penieli Poasa, Lipa Saveatama, Vili Tauofaga.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hawke&#8217;s Bay Development:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hbmagpies\/photos\/a.140806072626809\/8250366791670656\" data-width=\"552\" style=\"background-color: #fff;

Wellington won 1-0, with Henry Roberts the try-scorer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\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>Updates #5: The 2022 representative season reaches its peak this weekend in terms of teams in action and games played.
