Wellington Win By 40 Point Margin For Second Consecutive Week

Wellington and Hawkes Bay were the big winners in Round 2 of the Central Region Shield played in Manawatu on Saturday, with the former team victorious by the same margin as they achieved in the first round victory a week earlier.

At the Sport & Rugby Institute at Massey University, it was the Hurricanes Heartland team who shocked Wellington early on with a 60 metre run-away try to Horowhenua-Kapiti's Sean Pape, who was to score a double in the first-half to suggest an enticing second-half with the scores locked-up at 12-all just before half-time.

However, just before the break, Wellington's Captain Naitoa Ah-Kuoi (Marist St. Pats) scored giving the visitors a slender 19-12 lead at half-time, following earlier tries to Tisi Finau (Tawa) and Todd Svenson (Upper Hutt).

In the second-half, it was Wellington's powerful reserves bench which eventually broke the passion of the home side, with replacements Reuben Va'a (Oriental-Rongotai) and Tane Te Aho (Old Boys University), both scoring twice, with Albert Polu (Hutt Old Boys), the industrious Taine Plumtree (Old Boys University) and Callum Harkin (Wellington), also scoring tries.

To their credit, the Hurricanes Heartland side finished strongly, scoring two converted tries in two minutes (to Captain Gabe Te Kani and Aholeili Katoa) as the game drew to a close, to earn a well-deserved bonus point. They now travel to Napier next weekend, where they will play Hawkes Bay for second-place overall, assuming Wellington account for Manawatu in their final match to be played in Wellington.
