Napier boys are a classy side. Their pack work well together and they have a classy 10 and 12. Credit to us though we've hung in there. Missing Semisi Tapa at 6 big time.

[Stargazer]

37th minute: Try Zyon Holo. A giant. Conversion Faleafaga.

21 - 12 Napier

[Stargazer]

Napier going through a bad spell. Ill-disciplined.

[Stargazer]

41st minute: great try in the corner from PJ Tonga. Not converted.

It's getting close. 21 - 17 Napier

[Stargazer]

Awesome break and try from Niko Jones. Napier imploding.

24 - 21 St Peter's

[African Monkey]

Come on St Peters!!!!

[Stargazer]

Bad collision. St Peter's player comes out okay, but a Napier player has - what looks like - a bad injury. Ankle?

Edit: St Peter's player also being treated. Lower back.

[Stargazer]

Napier's Rob Slabbekoorn stretchered off. Sad end to his game.

[Stargazer]

Wow. What a try. Chris Hala'ufia.

St Peter's 31 - 21

Can't see Napier come back from this.

[Stargazer]

The battles they won easily in the first half, are now lost.

" use it now 9, use it now" says the ref to Napier hakfback as rolling maul is marching towards the goal line and then crosses it. FML.

Like a really bad back seat driver ....

58th minute: Napier's captain scores! Christian-Goss converts.

31 - 28 St Peter's

[Stargazer]

@rapido I had my doubts about the try being held up, too.

[Stargazer]

St Peter's miles offside. All the time. Not penalised.

[Rapido]

Have ever SPC won this before?

Congrats to SPC.

[African Monkey]

@rapido Yup 1987 and 2000. What a comeback well done to the boys WOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Stargazer]

Congrats to St Peter's. Won with a fantastic second half.
Proud of Napier Boys, who dominated the first half. Only 3 points in it.

Watching this game between these two very good teams, the future of NZ rugby looks bright.
