Rookie rugby winger top tryscorer

The article about Taradale winger (and former flanker) Majella Tufuga, who is the top tryscorer in the Maddison Trophy competition, is a preview of the semis.

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.

I noticed Rangihuna playing 9 for Napier Tech does that means he’s lining up for the Bay in the ITM Cup?

[Higgins]

@mikey07 And Folau Fakatava only makes the Hastings bench. This Connor McLeod must be some sort of decent halfback to keep his spot. Naturally I'm still expecting the Texans to win!

[Stargazer]

@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.

T'dale v NOBM livestream:

Watch Live: Taradale Rugby Club vs Napier Old Boys Marist Live from 1:30pm

[Stargazer]

Entertaining game thus far. Interesting to see Patrick Teddy - while wearing the 3 jersey - throwing the line-outs for NOBM.

[Stockcar86]

@Stargazer What was the yellow for?

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Sorry, don't know.

Only person on the park with bigger thighs is Ellery Wilson...

[Number 10]

Feeling confident @Stockcar86 ?

So far, so good?

[Stockcar86]

@Number-10 Taradale have the backs to win this for them

[Stargazer]

Shit, injury to Will Tremain. Hope it isn't too bad and spoils his Magpies chances.

[Number 10]

Comment by Damon Harvey at start of second half that next week's final will be streamed live as well.

[Stargazer]

Haha, Humprhey Sheild you annoying little halfback!!

[Number 10]

In the event of extra time:
(a) Ten minutes each way
(b) If still a draw at end of extra time the team scoring the most tries in the match will be the winner
(c) If the number of tries is the same the team with the best points for and against record in the round robin will be declared the winner.

Napier OB Marist +258
v
Taradale + 163

Hastings RS +259
v
Tech OB -5

[Stargazer]

Now yellow for Zac Donaldson. For coming in from the side?

[Stargazer]

Amazing to see that Patrick Teddy is still on the field (but moved from TH to hooker); likely to play the full 80. He's been playing well, too, including scoring two tries.
