Wanganui 1st XV notch 10 tries to dominate

Wanganui Collegiate 1st XV rode their forward packs' domination to a 64-5 thumping of St John's College in Wanganui on Saturday.

Their second win in the Central North Island 1st XV competition could not have been more emphatic as 10 tries were spread amongst the squad, with Steve Perofeta converting seven of them.

"The first half effort was really good good discipline and running lines," said coach Guy Lennox.

"It was mainly through forward domination, we won a lot of their lineouts and controlled the scrum.

"For the Central North Island competition, that's a great result, considering they beat us last year."

The standouts in openside flanker Te Atuarere Albert and lock Johnny Osborne made the running and opened up space for the backline to capitalise.

Lennox also signalled out prop James Fisk and blindside flanker/lock Morgan Innes for great games.

Collegiate has another home game on Wednesday, an inter-school fixture with Hawera High School.
