There will be disappointment for one Jubilee Cup side tomorrow, along with two more in the top Colts grade as their seasons \u2013 like others already \u2013 will end. For others the championship hunt will continue.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another major milestone tomorrow, and for one of the more popular members of the Wellington club game. A week after his teammate Paulo Aukuso became the first, Whetu Henry becomes the second Oriental-Rongotai Magpie to play 200 Premier games for the club.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get into the grade and match previews, here\u2019s a reminder of the WRFU\u2019s tiebreaker rules which might come into effect tomorrow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If two teams are tied, then the tie is broken by who won the head-to-head match. If that was drawn, then points difference is used.<\/li>\n<li>If three or more teams are tied, then the teams with the most wins in the round proceed. If required, any further teams are determined by points difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Premier Jubilee Cup<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Four teams. Three places.<\/p>\n<p>The pivotal clash tomorrow is that at William Jones between home side <strong>Wainuiomata<\/strong> (13) and Swindale winners <strong>Hutt Old Boys Marist<\/strong> (17). Its do-or-die for the hosts who simply must win to have a chance of progressing to the semi-finals, while a loss ends their season and renders the other results moot in terms of playoff qualification. They have both Peter and Thomas Umaga-Jensen available to them, and the twins will pair up in midfield and join their Scots College teammate TJ Va\u2019a in the backline. Marvin Karawana lines up the blindside again, and veteran Justin Va\u2019a starts a Premier game for the first time in over two years.<\/p>\n<p>The possibilities for the Eagles range from finishing top and claiming the Andy Leslie Trophy to losing and having their season come to a crashing end, so they have plenty to play for as well. They have a couple of changes from the side that shut out Petone; Tasi Fidow comes in for James O\u2019Reilly with Ben Power making the corresponding move from the blindside to hooker, and 200+ gamer Nick Risdon reclaims the #9 jersey in the absence of Connor Collins.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3357\" style=\"width: 380px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3357\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tawa-for-Prevew.jpg?resize=380%2C327\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"327\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Tawa are in the box seat to win the Andy Leslie Trophy and qualify top for the semi-finals.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first team on the bubble should Wainuiomata win are <strong>Norths<\/strong> (15), who are at home against <strong>Tawa<\/strong> (20). The visitors are the only team certain to be playing in a week\u2019s time, and a win will ensure that is at Lyndhurst along with taking the Andy Leslie Trophy back there with them; a loss however could mean a trip elsewhere. Norths can likewise take care of their own business with a win and a home semi-final next week isn\u2019t an impossibility (albeit needing other results to fall their way) but will miss out should they lose and Wainuiomata prevails.<\/p>\n<p>The home team have rattled off a bunch of changes, including returns in the pack for Gerard Faitotoa, Tana Salzmann, and Josh Hunt, with Luca Rees dropping to the bench. There\u2019s something of a surprise in the only change in the back division, with speedster Jordan Mellars-Rose named on the wing for his first Premier start of the year. By contrast, Tawa have stuck with the same starting 15 that saw off Wainuiomata a week ago and will again be marshaled by Kemara Hauiti-Parapara who now cannot be caught at the head of the Billy Wallace Best &amp; Fairest standings.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth team in the mix is <strong>Oriental-Rongotai<\/strong> (16), who make the short trip over to take on already-eliminated <strong>Poneke<\/strong> at Kilbirnie Park. It\u2019s a straightforward assignment for the Magpies who\u2019ll make it with a win, and they still have an outside chance of finishing top and claiming the silverware themselves. There\u2019s no Ma\u2019a Nonu, Matt Proctor, or Alex Fidow this week, but its still a strong looking side even with plenty of changes with Xavier Numia, Connor Lemon, Luke Tau\u2019alupe, Declan Hay (playing his 50<sup>th<\/sup> and Blazer game), Reuben Va\u2019a, Malachai Unasa, and Hayden Whelan all coming back in.<\/p>\n<p>Poneke\u2019s season effectively finished two weeks ago, but the opportunity is there to get one over their neighbours, and possibly even end their season as well. However, their side doesn\u2019t include any of Greg Foe, Galu Taufale, Cole Stewart, or Levi Harmon, which would appear making that job a lot more difficult. Amongst those coming in are Daniel Taiopu and Jack Tully for just their second and fourth Premier starts respectively, while veteran winger and current manager Evan Belford\u2019s name appears on the team sheet for the first time in five years. Halfback Jimmy-Lee Hongara earns his club blazer for his 30<sup>th<\/sup> start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petone<\/strong> has the bye in the final round, having been eliminated a week ago.<\/p>\n<p>Those head-to-head tiebreakers held amongst the remaining contenders are:<br \/>\nTawa (over HOBM), HOBM (Ories), Ories (Tawa, Norths), Norths (HOBM), Wainuiomata (Ories, Norths)<\/p>\n<p><em>[Total_Soft_Poll id=&#8221;16&#8243;]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Premier 2 Hardham Cup<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the potential drama in the Jubilee Cup, there\u2019s none going into the final round of the Hardham Cup. <strong>Old Boys-University<\/strong> (24) and <strong>Marist St Pats<\/strong> (20) have already locked in the home semi-finals, <strong>Wellington<\/strong> (19) \u2013 who have the bye this week \u2013 will be third, and the <strong>Upper Hutt Rams<\/strong> (14) in fourth. The Goats only need a point at home at Nairnville against the Rams to secure top spot (with the Bill Brien Challenge Trophy also on the line), so the strong likelihood is that these two will just do it all again next week. MSP will warm up by heading to Fraser Park to take on <strong>Avalon<\/strong>, while at Ngati Toa Domain <strong>Paremata-Plimmerton <\/strong>and <strong>Johnsonville<\/strong> meet to try and end their seasons on a winning note.<\/p>\n<p>In team news for these sides Finnbarr Kerr-Newell and Teariki Ben Nicholas return to the OBU starting line-up, while opposing them for the Rams brothers Josh, Scott, and Todd Svenson start together for the first time. Avalon\u2019s workhorse lock Laman Ah Wong plays his 50<sup>th<\/sup> game for the Wolves, with Fa\u2019atonu Fili making his first start for the MSP Premiers this year with James and Billy Proctor lining up outside him. Pare-Plim will give a Premier run to some of their leading Colts players off the bench.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Premier Reserve Ed Chaney and HD Morgan Memorial Cups<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a similar story in both divisions; three of the four playoff teams have been found and the last will be found from head-to-head matches. In the Ed Chaney division <strong>Norths<\/strong> (24), <strong>Petone<\/strong> (24), and <strong>Tawa<\/strong> (21) are already through, with Norths and Tawa to determine top spot when they meet in the early game at Porirua Park. The final playoff spot will be found at Kilbirnie Park where <strong>Poneke<\/strong> (12) and <strong>Ories<\/strong> (12) clash, while <strong>Wainuiomata<\/strong> and <strong>HOBM<\/strong> will end their trying second stage of the season when they meet at William Jones. Petone have the bye and whether they are at home or Lyndhurst next week will be determined by the result at Porirua Park.<\/p>\n<p>Over in the HD Morgan division <strong>MSP<\/strong> (24), <strong>OBU<\/strong> (21), and the <strong>Upper Hutt Rams<\/strong> (19) will be playing next week. MSP are already guaranteed to be at home and seem likely to claim top spot given they take on winless <strong>Avalon<\/strong>, while OBU and the Rams will sort out where the other match will be when they meet at Nairnville. The fourth place will be found at Ngati Toa Domain where <strong>Pare-Plim<\/strong> (5) host <strong>Johnsonville<\/strong> (10) after their rather contrasting results from a week ago and they are eliminated, with <strong>Wellington (11)<\/strong> having the bye but still in with a chance of qualifying if Johnsonville come away with nothing. Johnsonville will just a bonus point though, having beaten Wellington in their head-to-head meeting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3356\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3356\" style=\"width: 354px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3356\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Norths-womens-try-for-preview.jpg?resize=354%2C306\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"306\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Norths have been scoring plenty of tries lately in the Women&#8217;s competition.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><u>Women\u2019s Tia Paasi Memorial and Izzy Ford Cups<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two finalists for the championship decider in two weeks\u2019 time could be found as early as tomorrow.

For their part, a win for OBU will mean that they will host the second semi-final and just a single point will ensure that they are in the playoffs regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Behind that though there\u2019s potential for all sorts. <strong>Ories<\/strong> (17) sit third and a win over <strong>Pare-Plim<\/strong> at Ngati Toa will have them through, while a bonus point win for <strong>Tawa<\/strong> (15) will mean the same. However Tawa face <strong>Norths<\/strong> (12) at Porirua Park with the home team needing a big result themselves and <strong>Petone<\/strong> to upset <strong>MSP<\/strong> (14) at the Petone Rec to squeeze through. MSP need one of the teams ahead of them to lose, though if they are tied with anyone for fourth almost all the tiebreakers are in their favour.<\/p>\n<p>In Division 2 the four playoff teams are sorted, but the final seedings are still to be found. <strong>Poneke<\/strong> (25) are also guaranteed top spot, and they are at Fraser Park to take on second-placed <strong>Avalon<\/strong> (19) with the Wolves needing a result to ensure they host the second semi-final. That\u2019s because <strong>OBU Black<\/strong> (15) and the <strong>Upper Hutt Rams<\/strong> (16) meet at Kilbirnie Park and the winner of that match could leapfrog Avalon, while the loser is assured of taking on Poneke next week. The third match is between <strong>Johnsonville <\/strong>and <strong>Wainuiomata<\/strong> at Helston with both looking to finish their season in the win\u2019s column, with <strong>Wellington<\/strong> having the bye to end their year.<\/p>\n<p>In the lower grades there\u2019s a clash of the titans in the <strong>Under 85kg<\/strong> grade with the Upper Hutt Rams and Avalon Wolves scheduled to meet at Maoribank.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no college rugby on owing to the school holidays, though there is a match tonight at Porirua Park between combined selections from the Porirua and Eastern Suburbs schools, followed by one next week between the Porirua side and a Hutt team.
