Hawke's Bay v Otago (Ranfurly Shield)
-
Just hanging out the washing and can report it is a beautiful HB winters day so far. Not a cloud in the sky and warming up nicely, must be close to ten degrees now and completely windless. Min you this is after a rather chilly Otago like frost here this morning, hopefully the only thing Otago will have had going for them today!!!
Forecast is not that flash as the day goes on with the wind to pick up strongly toward kick off time, first from the north west then swinging south so take plenty of warm clothes to counteract that (or slip you hipflask into your back pocket!). With a bit of luck any forecasted showers will go along the hills and miss Napier like they often do. -

i just dont feel that optimistic about this one. Hawkes Bay always turns up for the games let alone with the shield on the line
then add to the the reshuffled backline and just dont see what we're trying to achieve with our selections...honestly think a close game and no injuries would be a "win"
Shit jinx attempt

Ash Dixon is a late withdrawal.

Told ya he should get on to all that house moving stuff @Stargazer
-
Where is Walker-Leawere for this match? Is he injured?
-
Popped a shoulder in the club semi-final.
He might return in the later stages of the NPC.

Visinia not happy with Gilbert there.
-
@canes4life bit unnecessary from Gilbert
-
Several things HB coulda been pinged for then too
-
The big kick through from koroi, McClutchy didn’t release when tackled, just got up and tried to go again
-
Hammington shoulda gone left and then Otago blew that
-
Given our territory we really should have converted something by now
-
@kiwiwomble some poor option taking.

You have now.
Jesus, the Magpies look like they're carrying on the awfulness of last week. This day is looking shit ....
-
@taniwharugby a little yeah, HB have been pretty good defence in their 22 though, on the ball every tackle
Finally!
Have to say Fine is looking pretty comfortable out there
-
@kiwiwomble is that the one with the head gear? Strong carries.
Good try.
-
Deserved try after all the field position and territory, suspect Otago will need at least 20 points with this wind

Yeah, love to see someone making the most of a shot at starting, would normally have been behind a couple of other I think
