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.

No, only about six minutes left as they only play thirty five each way

[Stargazer]

Almost another Westlake try, but the player was in front of the kicker (and didn't ground the ball).

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Ah, yes, of course.

[Higgins]

Pathetic call, if that is penalty worthy we might as well ban tackling completely.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Yeah, looked good to me.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Napier Boys 40 - 17 Westlake Boys

I think it is fair to say that Napier Boys were a size too big for Westlake. The Final will be a lot more difficult.
Now hoping Hamilton Boys and John McGlashan beat the crap out of each other.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Slaughtered on the possession, territory and penalties conceded stats and still knocking them off big time. Take a bow the likes of @stockcar86 @higgins! The law of averages says we must knock off Hamilton (presumably they will win the other semi-final easily) sometime soon seeing as though it has been so long since that has been achieved.

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

Nope, just annoyed we're not running up that score against them.

[Stargazer]

The Top 4 Final between Napier Boys' and Hamilton Boys starts at 12.40pm.
It looks like the game will be live on Sky Sport Select from 12.30pm.

[Stargazer]

Napier Boys having to defend a lot in the first minutes of the game.

[Stargazer]

Yeah! Try to George Manson, Napier's blindside flanker.

[Stargazer]

Cory Berkett converts!

7 - 0 Napier Boys

[Stargazer]

Hamilton still with all the possession. Their attack looks dangerous.

[Stargazer]

Ah, f*ck, now Ratcliffe send to the sin bin for collapsing the maul. Gus Brown taking over the captaincy.

[Stargazer]

Forward pass Hamilton. Good defence Napier.

[Stargazer]

Hamilton has had 72% of the possesion and 64% territory.

[Stargazer]

No way that line-out from Hamilton was straight.

[Stargazer]

Great turnover from lock Angus Prouting!
