Otago v Hawke's Bay
-
I was referring to the way they do absolutely nothing other than one off running straight into the nearest defender to set up a ruck time after time to run down the clock with virtually no risk in losing possession. Canterbury are the absolute experts at it. Saw them do it for the best part of ten minutes against Wellington about ten years back

Some Canterbury like finishing to run down the final three minutes going on here
Fakatava bosses a team pretty well for an 18 year old. We look good at 9 for a few years.
Yeah, I watched him three times in club rugby this year and I was a fan after seeing him the first time.

I wasn't sure what to expect this season with all the newbies, including so many very, very young players, but after 2 games we've already the same number of wins and competition points as last season after the full round robin. It can only get better!

Congratulations to Will Tremain for putting on the black and white for the first time tonight. A third generation Tremain to play for the Bay, something to be proud of!.
So we have 3rd generation Tremain, Falcon and Weber. A Magpies brother in Gareth Evans and Jonah Lowe. More sons/grandsons/nephews/brothers/cousins of former Magpies? Did Pouri's dad play for the Magpies?

I don't think Will Tremain can be classed as a third generation Magpie. Kel and his son Simon played for HB - Will's father is Chris the former MP, not Simon.

Hawke's Bay player cleared of foul play
Hawke's Bay Magpies winger Mason Emerson has escaped sanction after he was cleared of foul play, meaning he can play in his team’s first home game of the Mitre 10 Cup against Counties Manukau on Sunday. Emerson was cited after the match for an alleged dangerous tackle under law 9.13 during Hawke’s Bay’s Round Two match against Otago in Dunedin. The Citing Commissioner noted Emerson’s upper arm struck the opposing player’s face with force, leaving the player stunned for a brief period before he carried on with play. He was not sent for a Head Injury Assessment. The referee had noted the tackle as "riding up" and issued a penalty kick only for the offence. After considering evidence from Emerson, and video evidence of the incident, Judicial Officer Chris Morris found the player’s evidence to be credible. He noted that the first contact between the players involved a head to head collision, with Emerson being hit in the chin by the top of the other player’s head. "It is clear to see that Mr Emerson pulled his head upward at the last moment and avoided what would have been a face to face collision." Mr Morris said on considering the evidence, he could not be satisfied that Emerson had committed the foul play for which he had been cited. The citing was not upheld and Emerson was free to be selected for his team’s Round three match at McLean Park this Sunday, 2 September 2018. -
