2020 Hawke's Bay club rugby

[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Chung has been replaced by Jono Marks.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.

[Stargazer]

Haha, handbags? Farrell v Toala. Too bad the camera got it late.

[Stargazer]

Emil Crichton is taller than I thought. Good turnover there, but Farrell hardly too blame. Rangihuna waited too long. Again.

[Stargazer]

Try Antonio Mikaele-Tu'u! McLeod converts. It's 26 - 15 to Hastings.

Good game to watch.

[Stargazer]

That's the half time score.

[Stargazer]

Toala has been a handful at the beginning of this 2nd half. He's looking so keen.

[Stargazer]

Syms just said three interesting things:

• pressured into naming a player who stood out during preseason the last couple of weeks, he mentioned Geoff Cridge.
• Namatahi Waa is in hospital with a ruptured appendix.
• Jordan Thompson-Dunn has a high ankle sprain (which limits the number of minutes he plays at the moment)

[Stargazer]

By the way, Fakatava has come on.

[Stargazer]

Hastings almost scores, but "held-up". Guildford with the try saver.

[Stargazer]

Fakatava's hairdo is outrageous.

[Stargazer]

Collectively, the Tech forwards are better than the Hastings forwards. In the backs it's exactly the opposite.

[Stargazer]

Wow, Baker butchered that badly. Catching that high ball didn't look that difficult. Another try to Neria Fomai. Some bad missed tackles from the Tech backs.
