It was touted as an upset - though it was tough to find anyone at Maramatanga Park particularly distressed by Te Puna's Baywide club rugby victory on Saturday.
Or even surprised. The 32-13 win over perennial Baywide contenders Whakarewarewa lifted the home side into the top-four and owes much to smart pre-season planning and some increasing wisdom in the pack.

Te Puna pushed their way into the Bartercard Baywide Premier competition top four, with a bonus point victory over Whakarewarewa at Maramatanga Park on Saturday (17 April 2010).

The Western Bay side were in a strong position at the break leading 24-5, and went on to take out the match 32-13. While they had posted in two narrow losses in the competition start, the bonus points that they have accumulated, have put the blue and black brigade into third equal place with Mount Maunganui.

Mike Delany stays at 10 for the Chiefs who play the Stormers in Hamilton on Friday night. Only one change to the starting XV with Toby Smith replacing the injured Taumololo. It could be a long night if the Chiefs scum and lineout struggle again.
