[Stargazer]

Both Super 8 games are underway.

[Stargazer]

Early try for Hastings Boys'! Their hooker scores off a line-out maul.

Mokau Lambert converts.

7 - 0 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Napier defending near their try line and get a penalty. Their line-out was good, but then get penalised for truck 'n trailer. Now Tauranga gets the line-out.

[Stargazer]

Tauranga with a strong driving maul, making metres. Napier turn the vall over, but the clearing kick comes of the side of the boot and doesn't go far. Another Tauranga line-out close to Napier's try line.

[Stargazer]

Try to Tauranga. Napier defended hard, but eventually a hole opened and one of the Tauranga backs went through.

5 - 0 Tauranga

In the other game, Gisborne get a 50:22 and get a line-out close to Hastings' try line.

[Stargazer]

Gisborne going for the pick ' go. Will the Hastings' defence hold?

Gizzy Boys' knock on, but were under advantage. There they go again.

[Stargazer]

Hastings Boys get the ball back and attack fast! Unfortunately, they knock the ball on, but that was great pace from the Hastings' backs. Scrum in Gisborne's half.

In the other game, Napier is attacking hard now.

[Stargazer]

Try to Napier! I think it was no. 8 Khan Stephenson, who got injured in the process.

Luke Thomas converts.

5 - 7 Napier

[Stargazer]

Hastings get the scrum in Gizzy's half. Hot on attack now.

[Stargazer]

Unfortunately, held up on the try line. Gisborne kicks the ball, but not in touch. Hastings attacking again.

Try!! Not sure who scored.

Mokau Lambert converts

14 - 0 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Several injuries of Napier players already. I think their hooker went off, but not sure.

[Stargazer]

Hastings and Gizzy exchanging kicks.

Tauranga get a line-out in Napier's half.

[Stargazer]

Tauranga line-out close to Napier's try line, but they're going backwards and now Napier turn the ball over and decide to run it out.

[Stargazer]

It's raining in Tauranga and it's affecting the ball handling. Lots of knock-ons. It doesn't look entirely dry in Hastings either.

[Stargazer]

Injury break in the Napier game, one of the Tauranga locks getting some treatment.

The game continues with a scrum, Tauranga having the feed.

[Stargazer]

In the Hastings game, the camera is way too close to the field and the angle makes it hard to see where they are on the field.

Bugger, Gizzy score a beautiful try. Not converted.

14 - 5 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Tauranga gets a penalty. The BOP ref's arm has gone one way the last 10 minutes and the local commentators are quite whingy too. Not sure whether Napier is really that ill-disciplined, but there's a change in score.

8 - 7 Tauranga

[Stargazer]

A Hastings line-out deep into Gizzy's half leads to nothing as there is a knock-on.

Tauranga hot on attack and more defending from Napier is needed.

That looked like a knock on, but the try is awarded. Hmmm. Having said that, Napier's defence wasn't great

15- 7 Tauranga after the conversion.

I'm confused by the score on screen, which says 17 - 7 to Tauranga

---

In the other game, Mokau Lambert just scored, increasing Hastings' lead.

21 - 5 Hastings
