2019 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby

[Stargazer]

Mason Emerson, you little bull terrier!! haha Not letting go!

[Stargazer]

Hmmm, looked like the Northland player took the ball into touch, but they get the line-out close to their try line.

[Stargazer]

Try Fakatava after a great dummy. Toala converts.

43 - 28 to the Bay. 3 minutes to go

[Stargazer]

Another great tackle from Emerson on Gregory!

[Stockcar86]

Great desire in defence to keep them out at the end

[Stargazer]

Awesome. Another bonus point win and denying Northland their 4 try bonus point.

FT: Northland 28 - 43 Magpies

Somehow a Northland player won MOTM - but I guess he had god on his side so seems about right.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Was it Mayanavanua 3 points, McClutchie 2 and Dixon 1?

I only saw them award it to the Northlander.

[Stargazer]

These Duane Monkley medal points are awarded in such a random way. There were several other players who were more deserving that that Northland prop. Makene, who has shown once again his awesome footwork; Emerson, great, courageous defence for such a small man (keeping Gregory under control), Cridge very good in the breakdown and line-out; Rakete-Stones, who's turning into a very good ball-carrying prop and scrummager; and Fomai showing he can find the holes in the defence and finish well.

[Nepia]

That was close to Emerson's best game for the Pies. I was less impressed by Cridge, actually think I'd prefer him to go back to lock and Flanders to play 6. Fomai was impressive, has some gas too.

Junior Magpies squad for the Jock Hobbs U19 tournament:

.

Our first game of the tournament:

Junior Magpies v Southland (match 5)
k/o 2.15pm - Owen Delany Park, Taupo, Field 2

I don't think any of the games are televised, but IIRC (some) games were livestreamed, last year. Not sure whether that was on the first tournament day.

There are a few names that are unknown to me. In the starting lineup numbers 4, 7, 9, 14 & 15 fall into this boat. Anyone willing to help others also struggling to identify these guys become more familiar weith them would be appreciated.
