[Stargazer]

Good attack from Westlake, a missed tackle from Napier allowing them to get close to the Napier try line. Napier defend well but give away a penalty.

19 - 3 Napier

[Stargazer]

Westlake have woken up and the momentum is swinging their way now.

[JK]

That Napier rolling maul is impressive. Imagine they've scored a fair few tries from that this season

[Stargazer]

@JK Yeah, quite a few. They have a good pack. I think their hooker is still year 12, but definitely a prospect.

[Stargazer]

It's been all Westlake the last 10 minutes, but Napier's defence has been excellent so far.

[Stargazer]

Napier Boys picking and going their way to the try line and LH prop Ta$man Soanai-Oeti scores!

Cory Berkett converts.

26 - 3 Napier.

2 and half minutes to go in the first half.

[Stargazer]

Half time: Napier Boys 26 - 3 Westlake Boys

[Stargazer]

All Napier Boys need to do is not fall asleep and not take the foot off the throat.

Not sure whether the wind is a big factor in this game.

[Stargazer]

Another line-out steal from Gus Brown.

Pick and go, and reserve loosie George Manson scores another one for Napier!

Cory Berkett converts

33 - 3 Napier Boys'

The female commentator clearly doesn't know that Gus Brown used to be a lock.

[Stargazer]

Wow, hat-trick for Tyrone Chrystal!! Pick and go, this time.

Cory Berkett converts.

40 - 3 Napier Boys after 46 minutes

[Stargazer]

Try to Westlake's Cole Jackson; converted. Napier's weak spot is their left winger, who can't catch a ball.

40 - 10 Napier Boys'

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Even the likes of @gibbit @Nepia would have to be impressed by this! Seventeen minutes left to play but Westlake hot on attack.

[Stargazer]

Napier's left winger and their centre have now been replaced.

[Higgins]

Crap call, first infringement was the WBHS not straight.

[Stargazer]

As good as Gus Brown is, he's giving away too many penalties.

Westlake lose another line-out but fortunately to them, Napier Boys' lose the ball forward. Scrum close to Napier's try line, with Westlake having the feed.

[Stargazer]

More Napier mistakes creeping in.

[Stargazer]

I wonder whether Peyton Kemp (the 21 who just made that great tackle) is a younger brother of Carlos Kemp, who now plays Heartland for NPEC.

[Higgins]

Genuine question, have all the decent polynesian boys been scholarshipped by the Auckland schools or are there simply no Samoan or Tongan boys living in the Westlake catchment? They don't even have the obligatory Fijian wingers!

[Stargazer]

Great defence Napier Boys. I hope it holds, because Westlake are getting all the penalties.

Gus Brown with another steal from Westlake's line-out.

Now a Napier player penalised for tackling a player in the air. No yellow because they didn't know who the Napier player was.

[Stargazer]

Westlake scores in the corner. Great try from their 22.

The fullback converts. Very good kick.

40 - 17 Napier. About 18 minutes to go.
