Both our schools having to defend a lot, with both Rotorua and Hamilton having most of the possession.
Napier get a line-out and go for the driving maul, but it goes backward. They keep possession, but haven't gained any territory.
In the other game, Rotorua concede a penalty and Hastings Boys go for the line-out.

Napier get a line-out; it's good and they go for the driving maul. It's messy and Napier get another penalty.
Hastings hot on attack no, but Josh Leach is held up. The maul is still moving in Rotorua's direction. Then it goes down near the try line and Rotorua get the penalty.
Napier's line-out is deemed not straight. Hamilton scrum.

Hamilton's clearance kick doesn't go out and Napier have possession.
Rotorua's clearance kick didn't initially go out, but it eventually does via a Hastings' player.
Hastings regain possesion and are attacking again.Another Napier line-out on Hamilton's 5m. The driving maul goes backward and sideways, but one of Napier's players goes for a run and he scores! Great try. Commentator thinks it may be Napier's no. 8 who scored.
Berkett can't convert.
5 - 8 Napier

Napier scrum. The clearance kick doesn't go out! Hamilton back on attack again.
Napier penalised for offside. Another Hamilton scrum.
