2021 Hawke's Bay club rugby

Haha, classic. Hasting scores a try just before half time. Connor McLeod takes his time having a few sips of water, before putting the ball on the tee for the conversion.
Scores, about 5-10 minutes into the second half:Hastings RS 27 - 12 NOBM
Napier Pirate 0 - 7 MAC
Napier Tech 10 - 12 Taradale
Central 10 - 25 Tamatea
Clive 17 - 14 Havelock North -

@stargazer Particularly as Taradale is the club of my fathers side of the family! So pleased to see Tamatea going well. They were certainly a thrilling team to watch in the late 70s I think it was when they actually one the Maddison Trophy one season if I am correct.

27 Dennis TapusoaHastings RS do have have a number 1 and a number 3 jersey, but they literally are not big enough for props Jason Long and Dennis Tapusoa to fit into, which is why they don't wear those numbered jerseys.

Pirates and Havelock North miss out on playing in the Maddison Trophy.
Apparently Hurricanes Under 20 Harry Godfrey was the star for Central in their 32-29 win over Havelock North, kicking 22 points including an injury time penalty goal for the win.
Watched Tech OB v Tamatea. Tech OB won the first half 23-5, but lost the second half 19-26 for the 42-31 win.
For Tamatea Lincoln McClutchie didn't do any goalkicking and Kianu Kereru-Symes didn't do any of the throwing in to the lineout.

@number-10 Did Godfrey play at 10 or 15?
Watching the Hurricanes U20s, I was really impressed with his attacking prowess. Huge workrate, always at the right place at the right time, sparking a lot of the junior Canes' attacks. Riley Higgins got too much credit; personally I think most of that should have gone to Godfrey, who created most of the opportunities.
If it was up to me, I'd give him Baker's spot in the Magpies squad.
I think it may also be time for Tiaki Fabish; I'd like him to take the spot of Elijah Martin, who was squad filler anyway. I may go to an OBU game in one of the next weekends, to watch him play and to see how he goes.
If anyone of you can make it to a Hastings' game, I hope you can have a close look at Thompson-Dunn, too. I'd love to know whether he's ready for the step up, or whether he needs another year in the Saracens' squad. He could take Anzelo Tuitavuki's spot.
By the way, is Sam McNicol still playing? Didn't see him in the NOBM line-up.
Edit: @Higgins, I see that OBU plays Wellington Axemen, next weekend. If you're going to that game, can you have a good look at how Fabish is going?
-
@stargazer No reason why I can't be there at this stage. Having said that I often don't get to see too much play if there are too many peripheral off field and sundry other things to deal to. Usually manage to view most of the second half of games but the encounter should be well over as a contest by that stage. My guys came out of yesterday's game with about six injuries (including two front rowers with broken bones) making upward of ten likely to be unavailable to play OBU. A late call up for Higgins however is extremely unlikey!!!!!!

@stargazer after watching most of those Under 20 games properly all three of Morgan, Godfrey and Higgins had moments of brilliance mixed in with moments that they would much rather forget. I hope they are all on the Canes radar though because they did look very good when they got things right. Godfrey was deadly from the back. Shame we didn’t get to see Roderick Solo in action, he’s another from that young group that I hope we see more of during the NPC.
On Fabish, how big is he? I hope he isn’t another loose forward that can play lock. The Canes need proper locks that are around 2m.
-
The other thing from the Tech v Tamatea match.
Tim Farrell, did not play, as he has stuffed his shoulder again, out for the rest of the year.
Might call it quits.

Going by the writeup in the HB Today he was at 10.

At least, Lolagi Visinia and Danny Toala haven't forgotten how to score tries, while being unwanted by the Canes.
Visinia scored 2 tries for Clive and kicked 3 conversions; Toala scored 2 tries for Hastings.
