I tuned in a bit late.

About 15 - 20 minutes played and Napier Boys v Wellington Coll is 7 - 7, while Hastings Boys is leading 10 - 5 v Scots College.

[Stargazer]

Just after I posted that, Hasting Boys scored another try.

15 - 5 Hastings Boys

[Stargazer]

By the way, this is the Napier Boys' line-up.

[Stargazer]

Totally missed it, watching the other game as well, but Hastings Boys have scored their 4th try.

20 - 5 Hastings Boys

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to big Gus Brown! Great conversion.

14 - 7 Napier Boys'

[Stargazer]

Hastings Boys' just conceded a try.

20 - 10 Hastings Boys'

[Stargazer]

Hastings Boys' hit back straight away. Great try! They would be much further ahead if they had a player that can kick at goal.

25 - 10 Hastings Boys.

[Stargazer]

Half time:

Napier Boys' 14 - 7 Wellington College

Hastings Boys' 27 - 10 Scots College

[Stargazer]

Hastings Boys' are on fire. Another try!

34 - 10 Hastings Boys'

[Stargazer]

Napier Boys not in the ref's good books. All the penalties go against them.

Just as I write that, a Wellington players tries to be too flashy, keeping the ball in by throwing a no-look pass to keep the ball in play isntead of touch ... straight into the hands of a Napier back who goes on a run and scores under the sticks.

21 - 7 Napier Boys'

[Stargazer]

In the mean time, Hastings Boys' have scored again and lead 41 - 10.

[Stargazer]

Another great try to Napier. First thought one of their players was too greedy and tried to score himself, just being tackled before the try line, but they kept possesion and it was their hooker going over.

28 - 7 Napier Boys'

[Stargazer]

To thnk were only 10 minutes into the second half, this could get very ugly again in both games.

One of the Wellington College players is now sent of with a yellow card.

[Stargazer]

Some beautiful ball handling by Napier Boys and they're in again. It's going fast now. I think it was their halfback this time.

35 - 7 Napier Boys'

A (I suppose Wellington College) supporter is getting a bit angry haha.

[Stargazer]

There must be something wrong with the camera in the Hastings' game, because it's frozen, but the clock on screen keeps going.

[Stargazer]

This ref! Now a Napier player (20) sent to the bin with yellow. Not sure what for.

Edit: seeing it is the reserve halfback, I can imagine it was for backchat haha.

[Stargazer]

No idea what's happening in the Hastings Boys' game, but the score on screen hasn't changed.

[Stargazer]

Another great try to Napier. I think it was no. 8 Max Rattcliffe, but not sure. In the lead-up, one of their players did get tackled hard and he's not in a good state. Conversion missed, with Berkett still in the bin.

40 - 7 Napier Boys'

While I type this, I see the score in the Hastings Boys' game has changed to 46 - 10 and ... Napier Boys score again. I predicted it would get ugly!

45 - 7 Napier Boys'

[Stargazer]

Reserve LH prop Tuli Faleiva is just as good a ball running prop as Lolani Faleiva (I assume it's his brother).

Max Ratcliffe makes a great break. Unfortunately, the back he passes the ball to, knocks on.

[Stargazer]

Scots College have scored.

46 - 17 Hastings Boys'

And yes, Napier Boys' have scored again, too. I'll need to watch both games again, because I'm missing too much, trying to watch both.

Hastings Boys' have scored again, too.

52 - 7 Napier Boys'

53 - 17 Hastings Boys'
