2019 club rugby

Number 10

@Stockcar86 Patrick Teddy is gaining a increasing reputation as someone to watch as an up and coming prop.

But we've got a few of those already that are in/out/around the Magpies - Tim Farrell, Pouri Rakete Stones. Mason Kean, Josiah Tavita-Metcalfe.

What do you reckon about him, Stockcar86?

Stockcar86

Teddy is still pretty young (18?) but seems to have all the skills. Holds up his side of the scum well, seems to do his job as a lifter, and is very effective with his build with ball in hand, more like a hooker than a prop). If he keeps injury free and continues to learn his trade, could easily seem him in black and white in the next couple of years, then maybe a higher level after proving himself.

Reading that appraisal it is almost certain he would already be a Hurricane had he gone to a school in Wellington.

@Higgins Hmmm, the Thompson twins were signed by the Wellington academy and are playing their club rugby in Wellington. Will their school still count against them?

Higgins

@Stargazer Their father played at MSP, so probably not. It must be noted their club only plays in the second division down here at the moment. Had they attended Scots College they would probably already be on full time contracts at the Hurricanes given past form of those involved.

Snippets from the HBT article about the weekend's games:

Along with [first five-eighth Adam] Blake fullback Mikey Vuicakau shone in the villagers backline. 

Loosies Josh Kaifa and Lucas Goodin had massive workrates for Clive.

.
Still in one piece:

Magpies locks Geoff Cridge and Tom Parsons were inspirational in the Central engine room.

.
So I assume we can scratch Paese from today's Hawke's Bay XV line-up?

His centre Saia Paese was red carded in the second half while Tanalised Napier Pirate Rugby and Sports tighthead prop Kelsey Miller was marched 20 minutes into the match. Promising props Patrick Teddy and Lee Moleili again exceeded expectations for the visitors.

Willis and tighthead prop Pouri Rakete-Stones were tireless workers in the host pack and second five-eighth Tyrone Dodd-Edwards was the best of the backs.

I watched the Tamatea v Taradale game, and Lincoln McClutchie played fullback for Tamatea, his brother Keil was at first-five.

Obviously my interest in Club rugby in the Bay has waned at the moment! Still a major moral victory for the Texans in that it is not often the combined NOB-M lose the battle to see who gets the most points from penalties!

From the HBT's report of Saturday's club rugby:

Jonah Lowe is back!

Maori All Black and Hurricanes rugby winger Jonah Lowe returned to play with his first outing of the season in Hawke's Bay's premier club competition on Saturday.

Lowe, 23, had been out of action for three months with a shoulder injury collected during a Hurricanes training session. While he hasn't played at Super level this season Lowe was outstanding for the Hurricanes development side earlier this year.

Tremains Andrew Clark Clive coach Vaine Maui gave Lowe 44 minutes off the subs bench at centre in his side's 26-14 Tui Maddison Trophy fifth round win against MAC at Farndon Park. Although Lowe, who has scored 77 points in 35 first class outings for the Magpies, didn't get a lot of attacking opportunities Maui said he proved he was ready fo the Hurricanes if required.

"We're rapt with his loyalty. Clive is his home club and he comes back as often as he can," Maui added.

Taking Lowe's limited rugby this winter into account Maui is likely to get more games out of him durng the coming weeks than the Hurricanes coaching staff will.

.
Not Farrell again; I hope it's not too bad!

Former Napier Boys' High School prop Manaaki Aranui made his premier debut as a substitute after Magpie Tim Farrell was forced off with an injury.

Cridge again/still playing for Central

With the likes of prop Joel Hintz, hooker Travis Taylor, locks Ben and Tom Parsons and loosie Geoff Cridge the visiting pack was hard to halt when these lads were making cohesive charges up field as a unit.

McClutchie: first five, fullback, and now halfback

Magpies first five-eighth Lincoln McClutchie scored a brilliant try and impressed with his chat in the halfback role.

Upset win to MAC by the look of things. Other results as predicted.

This week Sam McNicol is scheduled to make his long awaited return to playing by appearing for NOB Marist against Havelock North. Will be his first game since October 2017 (Magpies' v Manawatu).

It's NOB Marists' club day, so we look forward to your report @Stockcar86 !

Number 10

Taradale (2nd) beat Hastings RS (3rd) 56-31.

Taradale scored their 4th try for the bonus point after just 22 minutes and led 28-7.

Early in the second half it was 31-31, then Taradale 1st five Brad Truesdale kicked a penalty goal from halfway for a 34-31 lead.

Hastings RS lock got a yellow card for offside in his 22 after the referee had given Hastings RS a warning for conceding too many penalties under pressure, and while he was off Taradale kicked another penalty (for the lock's offside) and then scored two more tries with the player advantage to lead 49-31, game over.

For Hastings RS Mason Emerson (concussion) did not play, Danny Toala came on as sub for the whole second half and played at first five-eighth. Josiah Tavita-Metcalfe played the whole game at number eight.

Caleb Makene played fullback for Taradale, and their reserve halfback Humphrey Shield has got a damn good pass on him. Don't know why he didn't start.

Thanks for update. I have no news on NOBM club day as I didn't get to leave my office all day as I needed to work - didn't even get to see the Chiefs game

@Stockcar86 I'm still waiting for all the score details, but NOBM Prems beat Havelock N Prems 47 - 17 (HT: 33 - 0).

@Stockcar86 No sweat Stockcar.
