Marist St Pats will have two players in the Wellington Rugby Academy next season with the WRFU announcing participants in that programme late last week.
Hooker Joe Walding-Karaitiana (right) of Hastings Boys High School is making the move to Wellington where he will no doubt benefit greatly from the 'Front Row University' at Marist St Pats.
Representative players Jeff To'omaga-Allen, Solomona Sakalia and Donald Brighouse have all developed their trade at MSP in recent years.
Michael Findlay (left) won't have to travel so far as he joins the club from Scots College. He has been a key member of the Scots 1st XV that won the Wellington's Premier 1 competition for the first time.
Marist St Pats looks forward to welcoming these two young gentlemen into the club family.
