\"nzheartland\"<\/a>The New Zealand Heartland XV have come from behind to score a remarkable 46-31<\/strong> victory over an outstanding NZ Marist outfit at North Harbour Marist in Albany this afternoon (Saturday NZDT).<\/p>\n

Marist led 17-15 at halftime, and when the match entered the final quarter, the Heartland XV were still three converted tries behind before the fight back began.<\/p>\n

It is the third year in a row the Heartland XV have defeated Marist.<\/p>\n

A fine turnaround after the side \u2013 selected from the Pink Batts Heartland Championship \u2013 lost to Marist 15-14 in 2011, which was at the time was the third loss to the Heartland XV in three campaigns.<\/p>\n

Head coach Kurt McQuilkin (King Country) and assistant ‘Chester’ Scott (South Canterbury) named a strong team for the Marists, selected from players in the ITM Cup or just within touching distance of the provincial competition.<\/p>\n

Hooker Jon Sharpe from Mid Canterbury was ruled out of selection due to injury and Thames Valley\u2019s Blake Hill was been brought in as replacement.<\/p>\n

McQuilkin may amend his squad before the team departs for two matches against the Cook Islands on 11 and 14 of November in Rarotonga.<\/p>\n

The hosts, ranked 46th in the IRB rankings, narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and will present formidable opposition for the Heartland players.<\/p>\n

More to follow (once we talk to the team from Rarotonga!)<\/p>\n
