This is the U19 Extended Training Squad as posted on 10 August. I haven't seen a final squad.
I think it's the same squad as posted on the Magpies FB page yesterday (what's up with announcing squads in sometimes difficult to read gifs/videos?).

@stargazer Does 'Player of Origin' mean a player who's based in another province but is from the Bay?

That's more like it. Tomorrow's U19 squad for the seeding game against Wellington. That'll be a tough game.
Oh dear, an 11.35am kick off looks to be a bit of a challenge getting out of bed in time to get there for kick off. With a bit of luck there will be a free entry for early comers, gatekeepers and spectators in particular!

From the HB Facebook page:
The HB Under 19 game on Sunday is going to be broadcast live on radio. In Wellington it will be on 1161AM, and we are hopeful that it will be simulcast in Hawke's Bay on 94.3FM. Listeners can also live-stream the commentary on http://www.teupoko.co.nz/

Half time:
Wellington U19 (40) v (0) Hawke's Bay U19
They started well, but couldn't get past the Wellington defence. But lots of handling errors and the last 20 minutes it was all Wellington. Disappointing.

Apparently, a much better second half from our U19s. What I took from the commentary (I didn't listen the full game) is that McClutchie had a good game; Toala several breaks, but also dropping the ball several times. The commentators called left wing Nathan Giles a promising player.
Full time: Wellington 47 - 7 Hawke's Bay

Chainsaw was at the game with his camera so there might be some shots put up on his chainsawphotos.co.nz website sometime in the not too distant future

Result:
Hawke's Bay U19 31 - 12 Manawatu U19
If we can beat the Hurricanes Heartland team in the next match it will confirm our appearance in the top division of the Jock Hobbs tournament for the first ever time. Overdue.
