2020 Hawke's Bay club rugby
-
@Stargazer Gutted that it is not live streamed (and the Texans having to give up home ground advantage) too as I can now no longer make it up home for the weekend. Fingers crossed for the win to the good guys which should see them into the semis, if they are still having them.
-
I started watching livestream of the Pirate v Taradale game late, so I don't know who the commentators are, but one of them is from the HBRU and is giving some interesting info now and then about the Magpies.
One thing he said is that assistant coach Josh Syms used to be a teacher and that Kurt Baker was one of his students, so that's where the relationship is coming from (and probably how they managed to get him to sign with the Magpies).

Hard to see anyone but Hastings winning this year
-
@Stockcar86 I remain ever hopeful. Remember they only snuck home by about eight or nine points whilst playing at home in the first round a couple a weeks ago.
-
Hastings and Taradale have the two best forward packs and Hastings' proved superior when they met.
I think NOB Marist have the most ability in attack.
But yes @Stockcar86 I think Hastings RS are looking good.
They are looking at playing both semi-finals on McLean Park, and will be streamed.

@Stargazer said in 2020 Hawke's Bay club rugby:
Premiers - semi-finals on Saturday:
1.30pm: Taradale v NOBM
3.30pm: Hastings v TechAbove kick-off times and location confirmed: McLean Park.
By the way, these kick-off times are different from those on the official HB club rugby site (1.15pm and 3.00pm, respectively), but obviously that may still change. I'd check in at the earlier time, just to be sure not to miss the start of the games! I've often found the times on the official site to be more reliable than those posted on the HBRU's social media.
The games will again be livestreamed through Hawke's Bay App.

Cameron Innes (on standby)That team is stacked - is that the actual Orcades Crawford???? Add in Ray Karauria and there's at least 4 ex Magpies in that team.

@mikey07 I think he's about 4th in the pecking order behind Weber, Fakatava and probably McLeod. So I assume he won't get a contract, unless McLeod is unlucky. Having seen Rangihuna play, last week, he doesn't deserve a contract, but that was just one game.
