Buller \ufb01nished sixth in the round robin with a 50\/50 record and then lost at home in the Lochore Cup semi-\ufb01nal to King Country; a disappointing \ufb01nish after having defeated King Country in the round robin. If either of the one-point defeats to Wairarapa Bush or North Otago had been overcome then Buller would have \ufb01nished fourth with a Meads Cup semi-\ufb01nal. The best Performance of the campaign was the Win at Horowhenua Kapiti where Buller completely dominated the \ufb01rst 60 minutes to lead 44-10.<\/p>\n

In the backs Setefano Sauqaqa again was an elusive \ufb01nisher to score nine tries, including a record-equaling four against Thames Valley. Scott Neighbours and Penijamini Nabainivalu both gave reliable performances every week. Loan player Hagen Schulte started in the 10 jersey, but a change was made after the fourth match with Jesse Elley brought forward. He challenged the opposition defence well. Andrew Stephens appeared in every match and took over the goal kicking with Elley\u2019s shift. Last year\u2019s record-breaking try scorer Iliesa Ravudra had shifted to Tasman but appeared in the \ufb01nal \ufb01ve matches on loan.<\/p>\n

Luke Brownlee\u2019s record run of consecutive matches ended when missing the opening match against King Country due to injury, while fellow \ufb02anker Blair Mcllroy never turned in a bad game and was unlucky to miss New Zealand Heartland selection. Lock Craig Moore had a standout season and fully deserved his New Zealand Heartland selection. Fellow lock Taione Ratu, a number eight last year, made a good impression in the role. The two props Phil Beveridge and Logan Mundy gave excellent service in every game, with Mundy \ufb01nally scoring his \ufb01rst try for the province in his 79th match. Brad Hemopo was a valuable loan acquisition but injury restricted him to only half the games.<\/p>\n

Thirty-one players were used, of which 13 were new, and John Noble and Stephen Crackett earned recalls after last appearing in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Missing from last year were James Lash (Tasman), Mike Lealava\u2019a (Wellington) and Isei Lewaqai (West Coast).<\/p>\n

On 8 August a Seddon Shield challenge to Nelson Bays sub-union was lost 6-36 in a non \ufb01rst-class \ufb01xture.<\/p>\n
