Whanganui Rugby's development team will play Taranaki Development XV on Saturday. The team is coming out of their Cooks Gardens 'bootcamp' and preparing for the Bunnings Warehouse Heartland Championship. Timoci Seruwalu, Jamie Hughes, Josh Lane, Peter-Travis Hay-Horton, and Tiari Mumby are returning from the training camp. Covid will keep away halfback Lindsay Horrocks and utility Tyler Rogers-Holden. Kahl Elers-Green will be going it alone as the sole No9 with Caleb Gray out. Matt Ashworth, who filled in for Lane and Hay Horton against the Evergreens, is available for camp but not the Saturday game.
