DID YOU KNOW
THAT Wellington, so often characterised by their Rolls-Royce backline, took it to Canterbury up front last to deservedly take out the Bunnings NPC title for 2022.
THAT to our Sponsors and Members – Your loyal backing as in past seasons with our various funding options is always awaiting YOUR SUPPORT – so we can again run our Club in a manner we can all be proud of.
2022 Final
Sat 22 Oct Canterbury 18 – 26 Wellington
TJ Perenara celebrates with Asafo Aumua after the hooker scored for
Wellington in Christchurch last night.
THAT a viewpoint from rugby commentator Joseph Pearson on the difference between mens and womens rugby? The average womens rugby player is a better interviewee! The average men’s game is absolutely brutal at the moment. The collisions, the impacts, the concussions are sickening. You just don’t see as much of that in women rugby at this stage. In many ways womens rugby can be a better watch, because it’s more about skills as opposed to the sheer physical brutality.
THAT coaches headaches never cease, especially for All Blacks mentor Ian Foster with last minute changes disrupting his plans on the eve of departure which sees Magpie, Chiefs and former Napier OB Marist halfback Brad Weber back in the ‘top side’ due to the unavailability of several players who for a variety of reasons were unable to leave with the ‘A’ team who were due to head off to Tokyo to play Japan on Saturday and from there on to the UK where they will play Wales (Nov.6), Scotland (Nov.14) and England (Nov.20). I’m sure club members will wish Brad a successful re-entry into the top squad where he can once again show off his range of skills on the test rugby stage.
While some these players – the three Barrett brothers (family bereavement). Also Will Jordan and Sam Whitelock are likely to return to the side after getting over minor injuries. Unfortunately former Magpie halfback Folau Fakatava who has re-ruptured his ACL graft in training gives Brad the opportunity to return to the top NZ squad. Meanwhile the All Blacks XV will travel to the UK to face Ireland A in Dublin on (Nov 4) and the Barbarians in London on (Nov 13).
THAT an important message to all players. – Invite your workmates, family and friends to ‘Team up with the Greens’ in 2023.
THAT an important reminder to members – have you got your ticket/s yet for the AJ Gardiner Family Trust Fundraiser evening to be held at the Centennial Hall on Friday 28th October ?

IRISH LOGIC – If you are drinking to forget, please pay in advance…..
THAT an important message to all players. – Make 2023 the year you introduce a New Player or Supporter to our Club. We are always on the lookout for new talent as we will have vacancies in all teams …. Also support with team management as well as on the sidelines. Invite your friends to ‘Team up with the Greens’ so we can have greater depth in numbers into the future for when we kick-off and about to commence our 2023 season.
THAT In 1823, William Webb Ellis first picked up the ball in his arms and ran with it. And for the next 190 years forwards have been trying to work out why.
THAT a reminder to all NOBM players – Pass the word around amongst your team mates and also any likely New Players your know of – be they family, friends or workmates. In 2023 we will have vacancies in all grades from Colts through to Premiers so new players will always be Welcome. Remind them to >>>

You guys line up alphabetically by height and You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle.”
– Former Hurricanes head coach Colin Cooper.
“I would not say he (Rico Gear) is the best left winger in the Super 14, but there are none better.”
– Murray Mexted, yet again.

The Leprauchan Comments
Three lads from Roscommon were getting paid to take part in a survey about tea drinking. One of the questions was ‘How do you stir sugar into your tea?’
‘I stir it in with my left hand’, replied the first lad. ‘I stir it in with my right’, replied the second.
‘I stir it in with a spoon’, replied the third.
The barman says to Paddy, “Your glass is empty, fancy another one?”
Looking puzzled, Paddy says, “Why would I be needing two empty feckin’ glasses?”
Liam had left Dublin to go up to Belfast for a bit of skydiving. Late on Sunday evening, he was found in a tree by a an amazed onlooker.
“What happened?” said the man.
Liam replied, “My parachute failed to open!”
“Well!” said the man, “if you had asked the locals before you jumped, they would have told you nothing opens here on a Sunday!”
We look forward to seeing all rugby players, footballers, netballers, cricketers and softballers and friends at the clubrooms each Saturday – Pop in for cool Tui or two – Also bring along your mates for an Ale and a chat. All members and friends Welcome …………. Ed
