The Tui have reached the Farah Palmer Cup semi-final after beating Northland 28 - 19.
The Hawke's Bay Development v Taranaki Development game ended in a 27 all draw.
Our U18 boys beat their Poverty Bay counterparts 24 to 21.
The best result of the day came from our U19s, who smashed Manawatū U19 by no less than 38 to nil.
I found out that the U18 game was streamed live after the stream had ended. Here's the link:

Apparently the halftime score was 0-0 so the second half must have been an impressive performance. Cooper Flanders scored one of the six tries (one was a penalty try) and Harry Godfrey kicked 3 conversions.

There are two home games this Saturday (10 September 2022):
The U19s play the Hurricanes Heartland U20 team in the curtain raiser to the Magpies' Shield game against Southland. Kick-off at McLean Park is at 12.00pm.
The U18s also play at home. Not sure where and at what time, but they play Wairarapa-Bush U18.
The Development team is supposed to play the Wellington Centurions in Wellington, but I haven't seen any confirmation of this, yet.
Then there is also the Te Upoko o Te Ika Tournament at the NZ Campus of Innovation & Sport in Upper Hutt.
The Hawke's Bay Māori Te Matau a Maui team will play Waitaha (Canterbury Māori) in the second game (k/o is about 2.45 or 3.00pm). The first game is between Wellington Māori Te Upoko O Te Ika and Taranaki Māori.On Saturday, the winners of the Friday games play each other and the losers play each other, at the same venue.

One of the HB U19 tries:
The player making the break near the left touchline and try assist is Harry Godfrey. I can't see who the try scorer is, but it looks like a 14 on his back.
Here's the link to the Facebook post with all the tries (these links are not always so-called permalinks, so may stop working at some point): -
Earlier this week, a friend of mrs SG had a bit of a rant on the Magpies' Facebook page about them not giving injury updates and no info whatsoever about rep games (we had talked about that on the weekend, or rather, I complained and she said I should "do something" about it, but I hesitated). She has since removed her post, but it may have had some effect.
They have posted the U19s line-up for Saturday's curtain raiser against Hurricanes Heartland U20.
No Cooper Flanders and Mefi Tupou, obviously, because they'll travel with the NZU19s to South Africa on Sunday (I think). Also no Harry Godfrey, who - depending on the injuries suffered by McClutchie and Makene - may play for the Magpies. -
Farah Palmer Cup Championship Final
Otago Spirit v Hawke's Bay Tui
Sat 10 September 2022
Kick-off 12.35pm
Live on Sky Sport 2Emma Jensen's last rugby game, but not lost to rugby. Not only is she a member of the HB Rugby board; she's also directly responsible for the development of the next generation of female rugby players in part of the Bay. She leads Hastings Girls' rugby programme (the only one for girls in the Bay). Her likely successor in the Tui 9 jersey, Kahlia Awa, is one of her current students.

Didn't get there in time for the Shield curtainraiser but was told it was something like HB Under 19s 39 Hurricanes Heartland Under 20s 17? Whatever it actually was it was a decisive margin in favour of the Bay. Did not feel sorry in the slightest for Darren Larsen who looked very morose outside the visitor's changing rooms when I went past them. Naturally I gave him a wave and a smile as I went past!

@Stargazer OK I'll believe you but either way it was a kick up the bum for Mr. Larsen.

In addition to the great results from the Tui and Magpies, here are today's other results:
-
The U19's 39-27 win over Hurricanes Hearland has already been mentioned. With that win, they finished 2nd in the Central Region Shield competition. Wellington U19 retained the Shield.
-
The Development team suffered a big loss to Wellington Centurions: 17 - 55. I think this was their last game, too, but not sure.
-
The U18s beat Wairarapa Bush 52 - 13, while it's worth mentioning that next week's opponents - Wellington U18 - lost to Poverty Bay!
-
The Hawke's Bay Māori team won their second game of the Te Upoko o Te Ika Tournament, beating Poverty Bay Māori 29 - 17. Canterbury Māori won the tournament after beating Wellington Māori 59 - 24.
The U16 and U16 Development teams will play their first game in two weeks. -
-
@Stargazer Don't get too excited abput the Wellington v Poverty Bay result as Wellington have about four or five Under 18 Teams eg Wellington Samoans Under 18, Wellington Samoans Under 18 Development, Wellington Centurions, Wellington Under 18s and Wellington Under 18 Development and probably Wellington Maori Under 18 so it could have been any one of those but lets rejoice at the result anyway!
-
@Higgins This is their main/first U18 side, called (Wellington) Centurions RFC U18.
Those other Wellington U18 teams also played games.
The Hurricanes Youth Rugby Council and others around Wellington are still calling our Development and U18 team "Saracens", but the HBRU hasn't used that name for at least two years now.
