[Stargazer]

Napier on attack now. Hamilton knock on, but Napier penalised for something. Obstruction?

Hastings now going for the scrum on Rotorua's 5m.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to Hastings!!

A not so awesome try in the other game, because it's Hamilton who score. Not converted.

Whoever kicks for Hastings did it well! Hastings take the lead.

5 - 7 Hastings

15 - 8 Hamilton

[Stargazer]

Napier hardly getting their hands on the ball now. Oh, should have said that sooner. Turnover.

Hastings get another scrum in Rotorua's half, but Rotorua steal and the clearance kickis good. Hastings kick it back ...

[Stargazer]

Hastings have their confidence back. Their attack is looking good. They get another penalty.

Napier now finally attacking .. meh, turnover. And now penalised for a high tackle. Napier's starters definitely played better than the reserves.

[Stargazer]

Try time!!! Hastings score again. You could see that coming.

The kick is good.

5 - 14 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Ha, it sounds some equipment got dropped at the Hastings game. I'm deaf now.

Napier line-out in Hamilton's half. Come on boys!

[Stargazer]

Come on ref, Hamilton clearly knocked that on. Should be a Napier scrum!

[Stargazer]

Good Hamilton now penalised for going off their feet.

Rotorua attacking hard now. Hastings penalised. Rotorua going for the line-out on Hastings 5m.

[Stargazer]

That was a great attack from Hamilton. Unfortunately they score a try again. The Hamilton kicker converts.

Rotorua score, too. Their kicker misses.

Bugger, the synchronicity.

22 - 8 Hamilton

10 - 14 Hastings

[Stargazer]

I forgot what the exact rule was about reserves having to get x minutes game time, but it would have been great if Napier could bring back their starting props. Almost another try to Hamilton.

Hamilton going for a line-out.

Rotorua getting the scrumfeed in their own half.

[Stargazer]

Napier steal the line-out and try to drive. making about 10m.

Rotorua regain possession and are attacking again. Still in their own half.

[Stargazer]

Napier line-out just in Hamilton's half. Great break from one of the backs, who makes it deep into Hamilton's half.

Hastings get a penalty and go for the line-out into Hastings' 22.

[Stargazer]

The alarm bells are going of in Hastings. ....

Damn, Rotorua score again and take the lead. Their fullback kicks the conversion.

17 - 14 Rotorua

Napier scrum on Hamilton's 5m. Napier get the penalty. Line-out on Hamilton's 5m.

[Stargazer]

Good line-out. Penalty Napier, going for another line-out.

Rotorua gaining possession after the re-start.

[Stargazer]

That looked like Hamilton collapsed the maul, but they get the penalty.

Hamilton scrum.

Rotorua kick a penalty goal and extend their lead.

20 - 14 Rotorua

[Stargazer]

It looks like its full time in Rotorua.

The other game is still going. Hamilton get another scrum penalty. They kick it out, and it's over.

Full time:

Rotorua Boys 20 - 14 Hastings Boys

Hamilton Boys 22 - 8 Napier Boys

Is it too early for a drink? Not a good way to start a rugby viewing day. I expected a Hamilton win, but not that score line. I did expect a Hastings win though, so really disappointed.

Damn. Bad start to the day. Samoa Magpies on top of Aus A at the moment though.

[Stargazer]

It's getting worse (but definitely expected):

Francis Douglas 55 - 5 St John's (Hastings)
St Peter's Cambridge 21 - 12 Lindisfarne College

[Bovidae]

FYI, the score in the 2nd XV game was: Hamilton 55 - Napier 12

I was surprised by the final score given the 15 mins I watched was all Napier on attack. A big 1st half from Hamilton I'm told.
