Heartland XV Head Coach Grant Keenan said the squad had trained well this week and they were excited to get their campaign under way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that Marist is no pushover and when you\u2019re playing for a prize like the Ian McCrae Cup, both teams will want the silverware.”<\/p>\n

Mid-Canterbury\u2019s Jon Dampney has been called into the squad as cover after resident captain Peter Rowe was suspended for one match for foul play in Wanganui\u2019s Meads Cup Final against South Canterbury.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re obviously disappointed to have lost Peter, but we have full faith in the entire squad.\u00a0 Eric captains his Southern rugby Club in Mid Canterbury so he will be no stranger to leadership on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is excited \u2013 there\u2019s great energy and enthusiasm in the camp.\u00a0 Our trainings have been really good, and everyone\u2019s learning from this environment,\u201d Keenan said.<\/p>\n

Wanganui Collegiate\u2019s Stephen Perofeta has been handed the conductor\u2019s duties at first-five-eight \u2013 a sign of Keenan\u2019s faith in the 18-year-old’s ability to control their play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very proud to have a great mix of experience and new blood. The fact that we have Stephen Perofeta out there alongside Lemi Masoe (North Otago) who\u2019s 35, just goes to show you how fantastic Heartland rugby is, and how guys can keep their bodies going for that long,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
