The West Harbour/Shute Shield is just around the corner, but first, what about a Sevens tournament?

Just a bit of rugby trivia, featuring the West Harbour Pirates:

This past weekend marked the second week in a row that every Super Rugby game being played had a player that has played for West Harbour Pirates (and not too many clubs could say that in the Shute Shield):

Blues vs Brumbies
Jack Debrezceni and Allan Alaalatoa (Brumbies)

Drua vs Chiefs
Vuate Karawalevu (Drua)

Moana vs Hurricanes
Pat Pellegrini (Moana)

Waratahs vs Force
Carlo Tizzano and Josh Thompson (Force)

Crusaders vs Reds
James O’Connor (Crusaders)

A tough start and new players to strut their stuff, but hey, what's not to say .........


And champion @Halbrowne61 - forgot to mention, thanks for your support of this thread.
(My father played for Wests way back, I spent many a day there watching 4 grades, used to help the timekeeper ring the bell when it was on a table up in the old grandstand (now long gone) so I always have had a wanting for them to do well.)

How good is the centre of excellence going, scooping all the wooden spoons last year.

@tiger_one you're one of the best posters so I wish them all the best for you, although the sport itself should be illegal and reserved for satanic rituals only
