Nick Evemy keeps some gas in tank

Nick Evemy Nick Evemy was expecting a nice cosy reintroduction to Baywide club rugby on Saturday after a couple of weeks' holiday in Australia.
Half a game for the Tauranga Sports B team, then maybe a nice little late cameo for the premier side in their clash with Mount Maunganui sounded just about right.
The 19-year-old got the first part right at least, but an injury to starting first-five Lewis Hancock minutes before the main match suddenly elevated Evemy into the run-on team.
After 120 minutes of rugby, he was understandably knackered, although a 23-15 win meant at least a sly grin crept across his weary face.
"I got chucked in there after half a game for the Bs and I'm hurting," Evemy said. "My legs were wobbling the whole game and I'm pretty tired but a win definitely helps things."
The teenager, who helped Tauranga win their fourth Baywide title last year, was again in the thick of things, scoring 18 points including a first-half try.
He also helped lay on the match-winner 8mins from the end, putting centre Afai Esera through a gap, then linking to send Portuguese fullback Nuno Penha E Costa over and adding the conversion.
Mount tried valiantly to break through in a frenetic final few minutes but the visitors were resolute, helping them climb to second on the points table after six rounds, behind Whakarewarewa.
"It was tough but our defence got us there in the end - it always seems to be the key with these games because both teams throw everything at it."
And that's been the saving grace for the rebuilding defending champions this year - a watertight line which has only leached 80 points. They're the only premier side with an "against" column still in double figures.
Mount had some good moments, particularly when Dan Waenga came off the bench into first-five in the second half. The Steamers pivot instantly settled the home backline and, 2mins into the spell, a searing run from Paul Teitjens put Sam Juricich over.
With Waenga's conversion, they closed to within a point at 13-12 down, with fullback Tutere Waenga and skipper Chris Elvin also featuring heavily.
Nowhere was Tauranga's defence better illustrated than in the last 20mins, however. Penha E Costa pulled off a try-saver on Juricich on his line, jolting the ball free.
There were great games too from halfback Josh Hall, second-five Gareth Brown and props Pingi Talaapitanga and Kane Hames as the defending champs showed previously unmeasured mettle, closing the game out.
It wasn't a good day to be a home team in the Baywide premier division, with visiting teams taking four of the five matches.
Rangataua leap-frogged Rotoiti into third by beating the Lakesiders 34-7 at Emery Park, while Opotiki's 30-17 win over Te Puna bumped the Eastern Bay side into clear fifth in a congested middle ground.
Opotiki's bonus point allowed them to go a point clear of Te Puke, who managed a 25-7 win over Waikite but couldn't grab a four-try bonus.
Te Puke prop Mark Nicolaas still joined a clutch of players with five tries for the season when he barged his way over again, joining Doug Edwards (Whakarewarewa), Opotiki's Te Amo Wilbourne and Sikeli Vorenasu (Rotoiti).
Edwards scored again on Saturday but he was put in the shadows of Whakarewarewa halfback Chris Miller, who crossed three times in the Rotorua side's 59-13 win over Whakatane Marist in the only home win of the round.
