My source is Power house having the VRU confirm there is no P4

I've talked to Quins heavies and they're definitely intending to have a P4.
The fact is, P4 teams are always in flux until a week before the season. I doubt the VRU have this 'confirmation', nor would they expect it.
The P4 comp was always a bit shit, so the plan this year was always going to be to promote some 2B clubs to 2A and merge the remaining P4 and 2B teams. With P4 teams operating autonomously anyway, it doesn't drain resources the way that mixing up sides in P1-3 does, though it is an issue for the 2B sides.
Not sure where your info is coming from, but bumped into the Quins rugby boss Brock at the pub, he said numbers are a bit lower this year but they are 90% sure they will enter 4ths into B Grade comp. they won't have 2 colts teams, Greg Fergus is having a break after 20 years straight years of coaching but they have placed their 2nd grade premiership coach Paul Graham as Colts Head coach with Fergus still helping here and there.
I've heard Quins are pretty bullish about winning Colts this year and that they have most of the Rebels 20s going there.
Must be good to have that kind of wealth of talent and people.

As an aside, how did Kiwis go against Powerhouse? Uni beat Quins in 1s, 2s, and 3s.
