Holy batshit. This was half an hour ago:
Bay of Plenty lead Hawke's Bay 50 - 0U19s
WTF!
Lucky we won the big one.

Bloody hell, that's a bad result.
BOP definitely has a very good team, but we have some seriously good players in ours, particularly Flanders, Devery, McClutchie, Toala and a few others like Dodd-Edwards and Giles. Admittedly, I don't know many of the other players. Do we have the right coach for this team? I expected a loss, especially after the result against Wellington, but this is crazy.
We were only in the top division because Manawatu was so utter shit this year and maybe playing in the bottom division would have been better for our team?
Hopefully, the boys can still perform well against the other teams.

Not quite representative rugby but just as important. The HB Mitre10 Cup Tipping Team are suffering serious injury crisis with two missing with injuries last week meaning we had to front against perennial champions Wairarapa-Bush one short. Despite that serious disadvantage we almost tipped them over going down by just three points (37 - 40). Not sure of the severity of the injuries but luckily Propsicle is back in NZ at the moment and was pressed into service, giving us four of the six needed for last week at least (just the top five from the six count each week so someone having a stinker does not affect the score!). Think he is only here for another couple of weeks before departing back home so we really need at least one Bay supporter to step up to the mark and get our roster back to full muster as it looks like one of PAJ or Clara have season ending injuries.

From HBRU FB:
It’s been a tough few days here in Taupo for the under 19 squad after our big loss to BOP on Sunday, but the boys have shown some character to come back hard today against Ta$man. Whilst we lost, and are absolutely gutted to have just dipped out 33-35, the character and resilience displayed today was a vast improvement. Up front Jacob Stephenson was strong - both defensively and on attack. Rangi Fox, and until getting knocked out by a ‘cheap shot’ from a Ta$man player, Nick Hutton both made big contributions. Kyle Cornelison was always a threat, and solid on defence. Lincoln McClutchie controlled the game and ran the cutter well, with Danny Toala showing his all-round class. The loss now see’s us playing off for 7th / 8th position on Saturday - against Taranaki. Points: Tries - Lincoln McClutchie (2), Danny Toala, Jacob Devery, Flynn Allen Conversions - Danny Toala (4) -

@trooa Glad they finished the tournament with a win! It's a pity they only televise a few games of the tournament and don't livestream the other games. I would have liked to watch some of our future Magpies play.
Found this photo on Facebook. Looks like Flanders, one of the guys lifting the lock? I feared he was injured after he didn't seem to play the second game and seeing an (unidentifiable) player on crutches on one of the photos on FB.
