Interestingly Mount Albert ( who went on to win the Auckland and later NZ First XV titles) narrowly beat Knox by 2 points pre season a week before joeys put the cleaners through them. A couple of lads who I saw in that game to watch out for are Caleb Clarke (son of Eroni) and in particular Niven Longopoa who is very much in the Pongia mould.

I can confirm Angus Blyth is walking around in leg brace.

Tonga won 52 to 10, CCC side had a few missing . Whilst not overly large Tonga very strong at breakdown, Number 4 in particular impressive for them.
It was tight for first 15 minutes then Tonga overpowered.
Good first hitout

Thanks Gilly,

Were many on hand to watch? And I take it the 2 CCC Schoolboy reps were not playing?

Would you expect a similar scoreline Vs CHS?

I understand 5 or 6 of the original starting team not playing for ccc. Guess it depends who plays for CHS with league and rugby finals on at the moment.
