Back from grabbing beer and hotdog. Well deserved win for Taradale. I hope they can step it up for final against Hastings next week

@Nepia Just put it in plain sight on the table. They have to know you have your priorities right.

That's actually a plan, one guy always plays games on his phone while he eats and chats ... but he can still hold a conversation, I'll wind up shouting into my phone.

[Stargazer]

Good to have the expert commentary from Magpies assistant coach Josh Syms for this game!

[Stargazer]

That was a brilliant try from a driving maul! Tere Joel dotting down for Tech.

[Stargazer]

Apparently, Richard Buckman is Tech's waterboy.

Yep, interesting mention from Syms about Farrell's shoulder problems the last two years.

[Stargazer]

Great try now from HRS. Toala looking good, already!

[Nepia]

I was fortunate to miss the Napier try but see the Hastings one.

Napier might need to get Bucky on just to contain Toala.

[Stargazer]

Elijah Martin looking good for Tech. Rangihuna is waaaaay too slooooowwwww.

[Stargazer]

Awesome pass from Thompson-Dunn to Toala. Try to Hastings's fullback.

[Stargazer]

Interesting to see that McLeod is doing the goal kicking for Hastings. Thompson-Dunn isn't a bad kicker at all.

[Nepia]

Napier have Guildford and Baker out the back and they barely look like they want to spin the ball.

Also, how many round robin games did that ring in Baker have to play to be eligible for these games.

[Stargazer]

Hastings' no. 6, Jardine Chung, knocked out.

Haha, Syms saying that he received a comment from Sam McNicol that he's mumbling.

[Stargazer]

Chung has been replaced by Jono Marks.

[Stargazer]

I don't want Rangihuna anywhere near the Magpies.

[Stargazer]

Interesting to hear Syms singling out the 10 (Thompson-Dunn), 12 (Mikaele-Tu'u) and 13 (Toala) of the Hastings "star" backline.

[Stargazer]

Great try from Fomai, but Baker looked faster; he almost had him.

Baker seemed to start his chase late too, looked like he thought there was no point chasing so eased off and then switched on the after burners but just a little too late.

[Stargazer]

Rangihuna bleeding badly there. Finally going off.

[Stargazer]

The Guildford-Baker combo is working now. Good try from Baker.
