Went to Anderson Park to watch Havelock North v Taradale.
Comfortable win to Taradale 46-19 although they led 34-12 at halftime, so second half was just 12-7.
Taradale number eight Iakopo Mapu scored the try of the day - went the blindside of a scrum and ran 60 metres down the right hand touchline, busting four tackles, to score.
Taradale blindside flanker Kinghouse Tupuola, in his first year out of school, looks a promising talent and scored a nice try.
Taradale had three men off for yellow cards - all for high tackles.
Apparently only 8 of the Havelock Nth 22 played for the Havelock Prem team last year.

@Number-10 Not surprised by your comment about Kinghouse Tupuola. I've mentioned him several times in the HB Schools' thread the last year or so. He played both as a loose forward and hooker for Lindisfarne, and really impressed me.
I wonder whether Mapu makes the Magpies, this year. He's been knocking on the door for some time now, but was overlooked for Tupou Maafu Afungia, last year.

Didn't get to any club games today as had mother's birthday lunch today and speedway at 4.00pm so not enough time to get to any Tech games. As such no game review from me today
Ray White Nash Cup Results
Clive 10 - 52 Napier Old Boys-Marist
Aotea 22 - 41 MAC
Havelock North 19 - 46 Taradale
Altherm Tech 39 - 19 Napier Pirates
Tamatea 5 - 68 Central Hawkes BayNext Week's big clash Taradale v Altherm Tech @ Tareha Reserve 3.00pm.
Although the HB Challenge Shield will not be at stake it looks highly probable the winner of the encounter will probably take the Nash Cup for 2023. -

Hawke’s Bay club rugby: MAC crash Aotea's party at home
Elia Bari scored a hat-trick as the floodgates opened midway through the second half.

@Higgins said in 2023 Hawke's Bay Club Rugby:
Looking at that I wonder if there will be a change to the starting Altherm Tech front row?
Will make enquiries whether there was a shifting of former Wellington Lions Loosehead Morgan Poi from Number 8 to prop to face PRS when I am next at Whitmore Park.

By the way, most Magpies with SR contracts are playing SR this weekend.
Of those who are not, three are playing club rugby in the Auckland competition:
Anzelo Tuitavuki (11, Manukau)
Sione Tuipulotu (20, Manukau)
Lolagi Visinia (15, Suburbs)Joe 'Apikotoa and Stacey Ili are on the "injured" list.
The only one missing from any kind of list (at the moment) is Pouri Rakete-Stones, so I guess he'll warm up with the Canes and then will watch the game from the stands, wondering where he'll be playing next year.
