@Stargazer a few players showing some real class in this game.

Taine Plumtree, Shamus Langton, Josh Southall, Keinan Higgins and Tyrone Thompson all superb in this match, pushing their case for Under 20 selection next year and for further NPC and Super contracts going forward.

Plumtree senior looked happy in the crowd with his sons efforts. Fair play to Taine he was probably the pick of the bunch today. Has a superb all round game.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Yes, it was a good game. I think those were indeed the best Wellington players. I hope Leo Thompson's hamstring injury - which prevented him from playing this game and showing his skills - is not going to cost him a possible spot in the U20s.

Sir Michael Jones Trophy Final

Half time:
9th/10th place: Hawke's Bay 13 - 31 Taranaki

Patrick Teddy has been great for the Bay. Otherwise, the Bay's pack is much smaller than Taranaki's and it's showing in the scrum. Taranaki's backs are clearly better than ours, although Murphy is kicking well. Overall, much smarter play from the Naki as well. I hope this doesn't become a big blow-out win to them.

Sir Michael Jones Trophy Final

Full time:
9th/10th place: Hawke's Bay 25 - 52 Taranaki

Well-deserved win to Taranaki, although they probably deserved more than their two yellow cards, too.

I will post some comments on the Hawke's Bay performance on the Magpies forum.

I haven't looked too closely at Taranaki's team, so can't name any outstanding players other than their hooker and their lock Josh (?) Lord.

Graham Mourie Cup Final

Full time:
Auckland 17 - 26 Canterbury (HT: 0 - 14)

Convincing win to Canterbury, who win the tournament. They have an impressive forward pack!

Napier Boy Zarn Sullivan a stand-out for Auckland.

Overall, there's been some great talent on display on this last day of the tournament, especially from the top 4 provinces. It's a pity that so few games were televised.

Looking forward to the list of players that will be invited to the first NZ U20 camp.
