Cheers for the updates @Stargazer

[delicatessen]

Not a whole lot of point making the final going by Hamilton BHS result against Scots - 49-0 and Scots played relatively well.

[Stargazer]

50 seconds after k/o, Alex Dickey scores the first try for Hastings Boys. 5 - 0

[Stargazer]

Try Hoera Stephenson. The boys are showing good patience. Alex Dickey is a handy, strong player. Can't remember him from XVs. Maybe a young player?

10 - 0 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Try awarded to Pukekohe. Debatable whether the player actually grounded it.

10 - 7 Hastings Boys

[Stargazer]

YC for a Hastings player.

[Stargazer]

HT: Hastings Boys 10 - 7 Pukekohe HS

[delicatessen]

I can't figure out whether we're lazy or just unflustered on defence. Seems like we hang back on tackles a lot in broken play.

[Stargazer]

@delicatessen They're way too casual. On attack that still works reasonably well, but they need more urgency on defence.

[Stargazer]

That was a great break and try from Flanders. He converts the try himself.

17 - 7 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Converted try to Pukekohe.

FT: Hastings BHS 17 - 14 Pukekohe HS

[delicatessen]

That's the third game I've seen today where the losing team scored a try to get themselves within 7 points close to the final whistle, but didn't even try and hustle back in time to kick the conversion and restart. Incredibly frustrating to watch, even against our own.

[Stargazer]

Definitely more urgency and accuracy needed. So many sloppy passes.

I wonder what the conditions are like. Is it hot, humid?

[delicatessen]

It was hot and windy early, but has chilled off a lot and some heavy rain has come through in the last couple of hours.

Tbf they have played a few games today. And the wind does take it out of ya. Not acceptable though in a tight game with a chance to win.
