2021 Hawke's Bay club rugby

[Number 10]

No Danny Toala, Jacob Devery or Mason Emerson for Hastings RS.

No Caleb Makene for Taradale.

Overcast, hardly any wind.

HRS v Taradale at Elwood Park, 3pm kick off

[Number 10]

Great try to Taradale left wing Majella Tufuga who scored in the corner. Kick missed 5-0 Taradale.

[Stargazer]

From the Hawke's Bay app article below:

... Taradale's regular starting halfback Humphrey Sheild out of action with a shoulder injury ...

Magpies hooker and regular Hastings Rugby and Sports No 8 Jacob Devery is likely to miss the match. He has an infected calf after being bitten by a spider.

Magpies winger Mason Emerson, who has been playing in the Hastings midfield, has yet to recover from a head knock collected in his team's 25-15 win against Taradale a fortnight ago. Fellow midfielder, Danny Toala, who scored two tries in that match, has returned to Hurricanes duty.

They'd better give him game time then, if they deny him the opportunity to play in the Nash Cup Final.

@number-10 Is it 10 - 0 to Taradale now?

[Stargazer]

Hastings not playing well. Another Taradale try.

17 - 0 to Taradale.

[Number 10]

Bonus point for 4tries to Taradale after 25 minutes. Shame they’re not playing for bonus point...

Taradale 24 Hastings RS 7

[Stargazer]

@number-10 Fomai is a Hastings man, too, isn't he?

So they're missing 4 Magpies. That may explain the score line.

[Number 10]

@stargazer Yep, no Fomai, but he hasn’t appeared for them all season so far.

[Stargazer]

@number-10 Yeah, because he was with the Blues first, and now with the Highlanders. He's playing club rugby in the Otago comp, today.

[Number 10]

@stargazer great counter-attack try - it’s all over now 39-14 to Taradale

[Stargazer]

@number-10 Only watching a bad stream, but is that Taradale squad indeed a lot bigger than Hastings'?

Any stand-out players?

[Number 10]

@stargazer Yes, Taradale did look to have a bigger forward pack. They were better across the park, even with conceding four yellow cards! Spent the last five minutes of each half with 13 men.

Maddison Trophy round 1 - Sat 15 May 2021

Hastings v Central
Napier Tech v Clive
NOBM v Tamatea - streamed LIVE on https://sideline.live/play/14686
MAC v Taradale

Not sure whether the HBRU is going to stream a game, now that sideline live is streaming a game.
It's $4.95 per game or $9.95 per month (all competitions), and I understand there will be season passes ($29.95) for some competitions (I hope Super 8).
