The Manawatu ref warns the Napier captain there are too many scrum penalties. Where were the warnings in the 1st half against Palmy Boys?

[Stargazer]

Gus Brown getting the turnover again. He's been really good. Moved from prop to lock in this game. I think he played as a loosie last year.

The Napier supporters are very loud right now, haha.

Full time: Palmy Boys' 17 - 27 Napier Boys'

Napier Boys retain the Polson Banner and also stay ahead of Palmy Boys on the Super 8 ladder (important for the Hurricanes competition).

Does anyone know why Hastings Boys' never do a haka before their games? All other Super 8 schools seem to do one.

[Stargazer]

Hamilton Boys get the penalty kick and their 10 misses.
0 - 0

[Stargazer]

Not sure why, but H'ton again get a penalty. Hopefully, this is not again one of those Hamilton refs who just makes stuff up to help the locals.

The Hamilton 10 this time nails the kick: 3 - 0 Hamilton.

[Stargazer]

Hastings' line-out close to H'ton's try line. Driving maul ... a H'ton forward comes throught the middle and grabs the ball. H'ton scrum.

[Stargazer]

That's bs. That was great defence, but H'ton get the penalty. Their kicker doesn't find touch and Hastings on attack again.

[Stargazer]

Bugger, and now the stream has disappeared.

[Stargazer]

It's all a conspiracy! The stream returns, and H'ton appears to have scored a try.

8 - 0 H'ton Boys

[Stargazer]

Finally, Hastings Boys' get a penalty. It's within kicking range ...

I assume Hoera Stephenson is wearing the 10 jersey again ... he puts Hastings on the board.

8 - 3 Hamilton Boys

[Stargazer]

H'ton Boys stuff up a line-out throw (not 5 metres). Hastings' scrum, still in Hastings' half.

[Stargazer]

Great grubber from Stephenson, very lucky bounce, caught by - I think - Mefi Tupou, but the next player knocks it on.

H'ton back on attack, but Hastings' fullback clears it.

[Stargazer]

Great kick from Stephenson. Hastings' line-out on H'ton's 5m.

[Stargazer]

H'ton put 3 defenders on Cooper Flanders, each time he has the ball.

[Stargazer]

Geez, what amateur is in charge of the camera and stream. It now looks like they dropped the camera and the stream is gone again.

[Stargazer]

No stream, but the score on screen has changed. Hastings Boys must have scored a try!

[Stargazer]

Still no stream. The score seems to be 8 all.

[Stargazer]

It's half time and surprise, surprise, that's the moment the stream returns.

HT: Hamilton Boys' 8 - 8 Hastings Boys'
