Gollings for Daveta

Former England 7s rep Ben Gollings has replaced Osea Kolinisau in the Daveta team.

In a statement put out by Daveta Rugby Club yesterday states “England’s Rugby 7s point scoring machine Ben Gollings will join us at the UON Central Coast 7s this weekend.

“Ben will replace Fiji 7s skipper Osea Kolinisau in the side who had to withdraw from the tour at the last minute due to other commitments.

“It will be an honour to have Ben join the squad and we are sure his experience will rub off on our less experienced players and assist greatly in their development.”

Newtown Rugby Club update

Newtown had a surprise visit from the SDA Church in Granville on Wednesday night.

The side will play their first pool match against Hideaway Hurricanes at 1pm(FJ Time) today.
