Wesley vs Rewa - Wednesday
The 1st XV take on Manurewa THIS WEDNESDAY afternoon at Pukekohe Stadium to determine who will be the Counties-Manukau reps in the Chiefs' play-offs. A quick word of explanation. The top Counties-Manukau side have to beat the top Waikato side (most likely Hamilton Boys) and then the top Bay of Plenty side (probably Rotorua Boys) if they want to be the Chiefs' rep in the Top Four (the other three teams include a side from the Blues region, the Hurricanes region and the Crusaders/Highlanders region).
So this is a very important game. There's also some ill-feeling here: Wesley want to avenge Rewa's comprehensive defeat of the 2nd XV last Saturday (the Seconds had drawn with Rewa and also lost narrowly earlier in the season). And Rewa are rumoured to be the main whingers and backstabbers re: the overseas player eligibility issue.
So get down to Puke Stadium No.2 this Wednesday at 2.30pm and watch Wesley whup some sorry Rewa ass.

Waste em Wesley!
Hope the whole school goes down and shows Rewa how we do it....
What a close match!! I think Wesley were lucky to draw that game. Manurewa to their credit have certainly progressed over the years. They look a formidable foe for Wesley in the future.
It did not help our cause that our number one prop Uini went walk about and could not be bothered to attend training on the monday before the game.
Jamie is a good open side but the match showed he is too light at the nest level.
What even happened to our openside Malitino
What HAPPENED to our Captain. Some staff at Wesley supplied him with miss information
As far as I know, we've lost Pomana Taniwha (captain) for the rest of the season (off in Hawaii for a scholarship.) He's a big loss - a real lead-from-the-front man and a proud Wesleyan.
I do hope Uini has a good excuse for missing training: for every Wesley player that's gone on to great things, there've been several others equally gifted that just didn't have the right attitude.
All our players should look to Jonah as an example of how dedicated you need to be.
