Pakuranga United Rugby Club is reeling after the premiers suffered a massive defeat at the weekend.

The prems went down 51-12 to Eden after trailing 30-0 at half-time.

“Yes it was one of those days where our boys decided not to turn up,” confessed premier coach Pita Alatini.

” It was our worst performance so far this season…there’s no excuses. We had a team capable to get the result but unfortunately it wasn’t to be.

Meanwhile the pressure is back on the prems for this weekend’s game against University.

“I am confident in this team to do the business however my players must realise their potential and play accordingly to get the desired result.”
