Will Tremain. Any relation to Kel

Grandson.

Great impact already

[BOPRED]

Our scrum is strong this year

[BOPRED]

This is not good

[Stargazer]

Brad Weber and Jonah Lowe. Awesome!

[Higgins]

Things are certainly looking a lot better since half time. I am just having a practice beer to make sure I can still do it in traditional style the way HB victories are always celebrated afterward. I'm pleased to say things are still in good working order!

Hawkes Bay 22 - 13 Bay of Plenty after about fifty five minutes

[Stargazer]

That was terrible from Ili.

[Higgins]

How the hell did that last BoP try happen?

[Stargazer]

More importantly: can Falcon still walk?

[BOPRED]

These two BAYs don't make it easy for us supporters

[Higgins]

The wheels have fallen off big time damn it all. Still just the six points behind at the moment so there is still hope on more scoring movement might just do it in the last six minutes.

[Higgins]

Beautiful position for lineout driving try PLEASE

[Donsteppa]

We make life bloody hard for ourselves in the last 15 of each game

[Higgins]

Another lineout drive chance, hopefully this time it might come off

[Higgins]

YEEEEEES try under the posts to HB, kick to come and 2 minutes left

[Nepia]

Woooohooo!!!!

[Higgins]

I need say no more

[BOPRED]

Nice win for THE BAY Congratulations. I feel we will meet again in the finals arena somewhere

[Stargazer]

Woooooooooohooooooooooo

Hawke's Bay is the REAL BAY. Pfew.

[Stargazer]

@bopred Thanks mate; and yes, you may be right about the finals!

[Number 10]

Don't know how long Ash Dixon is out for. Had a leg brace on his right leg.

Brad Weber received the man of the match award.

Was a bit fearful when Gareth Evans was replaced; has always seemed to suffer an injury during a season, but looked okay at the aftermatch.

As with Counties Manukau last week, BOP did not appear at the aftermatch.

Sam McNicol has been out there the last two weeks helping the team with their pre-match drills.

The Magpies won despite having had no outdoor practice at all this week because of the wet weather.
