TANERAU Latimer's mum can remember her boy coming home from Paengaroa Primary soon after he started school, telling her he was going to be an All Black.
A mere 18 years later and Latimer's dream came true.

In the space of a few short hours, Tanerau Latimer went from the depths of sweat-soaked despair to utter jubilation, though he did his best to hide it.
The Chiefs flanker is one of three new caps in the first All Black squad of the year, though yesterday's elevation came on the back of the hideous 61-17 Super 14 final thrashing by the Bulls in Pretoria.

 Tanerau Latimer of Rangiuru has been named in the All Black squad for the 3 tests coming up against France and Italy. If he makes it onto the field, he will become the first Bay All Black since Kevin Senio appeared for 2 minutes back in 2005. With McCaw out, there was a new openside flanker required and Latimer has been the standout NZ openside through the whole Super 14. While Scott Waldrom's injury made it inevitable that Tanerau would be selected, I have a feeling that Henry would have reversed the selection decision of last year and picked Latimer ahead of Waldrom.

The cry of “The Mount is back” greeted the Mount Maunganui players as they walked off Blake Park, after upsetting Tauranga Sports in a Bartercard Baywide division one match on Saturday (30 May 2009). In what could only be described as a moderate season of success, prior to the battle of the bridge clash between the two archrivals – Mount Maunganui supporters had few expectations as there side entered the contest.

Regular readers of the BoP Mafia website (I'm sure there is somebody out there) will have noticed that we have been quiet for 2 months. Also the regular weekly column I began on the Chiefs tailed off after 3 weeks due to severe depression at their wretched start to the season and that 3 consecutive defeats had surely condemned them to another season of mediocrity.
Of course they went on to only lose to one more team, the Bulls in round robin and then the Bulls again in that rather embarrassing final at the weekend. During the season I thought about commenting on this improvement but didn't want to jinx them - not to mention being either too busy or too lazy to write anything.
So let's have a quick summary of the season for the Bay players.
