If rugby is to survive, club rugby needs to survive to foster kids from 5 years old. Speaking of debaclesThe GI Spannerheads had to play the West Taieri Warthogs in a promotion relegation game in September last year. To the Spannerheads' credit they didn't complain to the media, they just sucked it up and played - they acted like a Premier club. Kaik (fourth last year) has good depth across the club, will make the final and could go all the way. Dunedin (Sharks, third last year) should make the four as it has good depth, with a very strong Colts outfit.
