Manawatu XV was bowled 60-11 by a Counties-Manukau XV on Thursday night at Arena Manawatu. The blowout in the score came in the second half after Manawatu trailed 13-11. That second half creaked as the Counties Manukau XV delivered 47 unanswered points and took the try tally 8 to 1.
With another XV down to play Northland on Saturday it is hoped that a starting 22 can be found - or it will be a long season of defeats for Manawatu in the big league.

 The Manawatu Turbo side to play Northland in a pre-season match at Whangarei on the 1st of July has been named. It has Varsity Captain and Flanker Josh Bradnock at 7 and Varsity Fullback Fraser Murray at Fullback. A notable omission from the 22 is big Varstiy lock Alex Waite.

 Varsity took an important bonus point in the race for the semi's with their 4 tries to 2 victory over Feilding Yellows on Saturday at Massey University.
Played in cold windy conditions the game was most likely the last for the giant locking combination of Alex Waite and Leon Power who now leave to take up duties for their respective NPC sides, Manawatu and Taranaki. The dominance that they had in the lineout's and the power they provided at scrum time will be sorely missed. Feilding had a furious first 10 minutes, but Varsity weathered the storm and then had 30 minutes of sustained play against the Yellows which gave them 3 tries and a 17-0 lead at the break. The second half was a messy stop-start affair and while Feilding scored 2 soft tires to Varsity's one - however it was all too late for the men in Yellow and Black. The win takes Varsity A to second on the points table with 18 points, still well behind competition pace setters COB who are on 26 points.
