The 2009 Air New Zealand Cup will be the Wellington Rugby Football Union's 4th consecutive participation in the competition. They are coming off a 2008 placing of 2nd. Last year Wellington lost the final 7-6 at Westpac Stadium. This was after Wellington had won their first nine games including beating Auckland for the Ranfurly Shield. Wellington then lost their final round game to Otago. Despite wins in the quarter and semi finals, Canterbury were too strong in the Grand Final. This was Wellington's 5th loss in a final in 6 years. Jamie Joseph continued this season as the coach of Wellington. He selected Jacob Ellison as his captain along with a squad of 28 others. This squad did not include the All Blacks who would be available during various stages of the competition. Currently, Wellington are fourth on the table after four rounds. So far they have successfully defended the Ranfurly Shield twice with their only loss coming away to Bay of Plenty Steamers. ==Squad== Squad for the 2009 Air New Zealand Cup: Note: The squad does largely not include All Blacks who will be available for some games during the season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wellington in the 2009 Air New Zealand Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
