Colin Bourke recently played his 50th game for the Bay. Joining from Hawke's Bay before the 2004 season, Colin came on as a replacement for Paul Tupai during the second half of our Shield victory and soon made the Number 8 shirt his own. So far Colin hasn't been able to crack Super 14 despite being selected once for the Highlanders squad and hopefully he will be playing Super 14 in 2009. Colin is the ultimate Mister Versatlie, making the hard yards off the back of the scrum, running with the backs, booming touch finders down the line and also taking over the goal-kicking on occasion. Here are a few photos from Colin's career to date.
