2019 club rugby
-
Just a heads up,former Havelock North coach Joseph Snee who won a couple of titles down your way and has been up in Auckland for the last several years is returning back to the Bay .
Snee won a title with Grammar Tech Up here in Auckland and has been involved with the Auckland Dev squad for the last few seasons..it will be interesting to see where he ends up in the Bay..?.
Good to have a quality coach returning to the Bay. -

Yep, no sign of Karl Lowe. He was helping out the Hastings BHS first XV last year. Maybe he's doing the same again this year?
No sign of Kianu Kereru-Symes for Tamatea, either.
That Clive team list of 22 contains only five players that played in last year's Maddison Trophy final - Rana Huata, Lucas Goodin, Bronson Hokianga, Eti Collins, Jesse Tuhua.
According to the paper Kereru-Symes played for MAC yesterday and Tim Farrell made his first appearance for 18 months.

From that article:
Magpies prop Pouri Rakete-Stones was again a powerful figure in the Pirate pack.In his first season out of secondary schools rugby tighthead prop Patrick Teddy was NOBM's player-of-the-match. ... Centre Saia Paese was again classy in the hosts backline."We had a few guys playing out of position and didn't have the same pace as NOBM out wide as Mason [Magpies winger Emerson] was playing sevens in Japan," Rosenberg added.Magpies hooker Kianu Kereru-Symes made his debut for MAC as a loosie ...Clive lead 43-10 and with the Storm Week in mind, all 10 teams will play three games within eight days this week, made numerous changes and leaked 26 points during the final 15 minutes. Three members of last year's Hastings Boys' High School 1st XV, tighthead prop Zac Southwick, lock Donovan Mataira and flanker Liam Udy-Johns provided plenty of grunt to the winning engine room. Magpies pivot Lincoln McClutchie was classy for Tamatea and finished with 21 points from two tries, four conversions and a penalty. His older brother, Keil McClutchie, provided quality impact off the pine at second five-eight ...Magpies prop and 2017 world champion Baby Black Tim Farrell had 20 minutes off the pine in his first outing in 18 months after an injury and scored a try for Altherm Window Systems Napier Technical.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=12217926

Ah, that will explain it!

Tonight went and watched Hastings RS v Tech OB, Hastings RS won 36-10.
Tech were scoreless in the second half, and hardly ever got out of their half.
I didn't think the lights were good enough at Elwood Park.
Jason Long played for Hastings RS but Mason Emerson didn't.
Mark Braidwood and Trent Boswell-Wakefield both came on in the second half for Tech OB, but Tim Farrell did not play - apparently Tech just want to ease him back in.
Apparently Clive defaulted to Havelock Nth, Clive didn't have enough front rowers.

@Higgins I assumed Clive Prems not having frontrowers for Wednesday's game had to do with the fact that it was a mid-week game. I may be wrong.
I don't know about Bridge Pa. I think they also had their first ever 7s team end of last yea, and their own 7s tournament earlier this year. I remember reading an article in which it was mentioned, but I can't find it anymore. Saw this on their Facebook page:
Bridge Pa Sports Club | BRIDGE PA RUGBY 2019 | Facebook
BRIDGE PA RUGBY 2019 This year we are aiming to grow our rugby club and get more of our whanau into sport and representing our home! 2019 will see the introduction of our first ever Senior 3rds...

@Stargazer shock horror..Must have been some performance from Clive.
-
@Steven-Harris You mean Taradale?
-
@Stargazer correct Taradale

I was at the NOB
Mgame.NOB tried to play a more expansive game than the weather permitted, however saying that, there was a huge difference in performance from what I saw last week.
The ref.
Last week was Dan Waenga, and as an ex player he had a good feel for the game and let it flow, played reasonable advantages, and had a good relationship with the players. I'm not sure who the ref was at the Taradale game today, but he dished out 3 yellows (one initially was a red then he changed it to a yellow). There must have been 30 penalties in the game, and at least 6 for head high tackles that were incidental at best.
Congrats on Taradale for the win - their right winger was fast and accurate, and their prop who was also throwing lineouts was effective.
