@Stargazer said in 2019 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby:
@Nepia Was it Mayanavanua 3 points, McClutchie 2 and Dixon 1?
I only saw them award it to the Northlander.

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.

@Higgins Google tells me Cristobal Niedmann is a Chilean, who played for Taradale, this year.
Phil McRoberts already played for Havelock North and the Saracens, last year. I've found references to him being the Saracens' captain and playing at no. 8.
I wonder whether the halfback is the same player as this one: https://djcoilrugby.com/2019/02/13/utah-warriors-simon-quickfall/
Travis Janssen's name is spelled wrong. He plays for Central. Don't know anything about him.
Watson plays for MAC. That's all I know.

@Stargazer Thanks, still don't mean an awful lot to me. Presumably they are only real longshots of making the NPC team if a real bad injury crisis happened to strike. Don't think the fullback played for MAC when I saw them play at Whitmore Park last time I was home. He certainly did not appear on the published team list that day anyway which had Tom Iosefo listed in the number 15 jersey.
-
Is that the As playing under the guise of the Saracens or the B Team in the Under 18 grade. I suppose it will mainly be the Napier BHS 1st XV given no HBHS players will be eligible. Although looking at the score perhaps the NBHS players were also given the week off.

@Higgins I haven't seen the team line-up for the U18s game. I think it's up to team coaches or managers to post team line-ups and other updates; the HBRU doesn't post them (except the Magpies and sometimes the Tui). I don't remember who the U18 coach/manager is, but I haven't seen any posts about the U18 team. I found the score on the Poverty Bay FB page.
I posted the squad list here. Quite a few players not from Napier and Hastings 1st XV.
