2020 Hawke's Bay club rugby

[Number 10]

Yep, two pretty even teams, two tries each.

Second half more a war of attrition than sparkling back play.

@mikey07 And Folau Fakatava only makes the Hastings bench. This Connor McLeod must be some sort of decent halfback to keep his spot. Naturally I'm still expecting the Texans to win!

We only need to roll out our second best 9 for you blokes.

I suspect it's down to McLeod playing the rest of the season and Fakatava only coming back recently. Good second half replacement to bring on.

Damn, I'm just about to leave the house to go have hopefully social distanced lunch - hmmm, wonder if I can have it running on phone under the table.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Just put it in plain sight on the table. They have to know you have your priorities right.

Back from grabbing beer and hotdog. Well deserved win for Taradale. I hope they can step it up for final against Hastings next week

That's actually a plan, one guy always plays games on his phone while he eats and chats ... but he can still hold a conversation, I'll wind up shouting into my phone.

Good to have the expert commentary from Magpies assistant coach Josh Syms for this game!

[Stargazer]

That was a brilliant try from a driving maul! Tere Joel dotting down for Tech.

[Stargazer]

Apparently, Richard Buckman is Tech's waterboy.

Yep, interesting mention from Syms about Farrell's shoulder problems the last two years.

[Stargazer]

Great try now from HRS. Toala looking good, already!

[Nepia]

I was fortunate to miss the Napier try but see the Hastings one.

Napier might need to get Bucky on just to contain Toala.

[Stargazer]

Elijah Martin looking good for Tech. Rangihuna is waaaaay too slooooowwwww.

[Stargazer]

Awesome pass from Thompson-Dunn to Toala. Try to Hastings's fullback.

[Stargazer]

Interesting to see that McLeod is doing the goal kicking for Hastings. Thompson-Dunn isn't a bad kicker at all.

[Nepia]

Napier have Guildford and Baker out the back and they barely look like they want to spin the ball.

Also, how many round robin games did that ring in Baker have to play to be eligible for these games.

[Stargazer]

Hastings' no. 6, Jardine Chung, knocked out.

Haha, Syms saying that he received a comment from Sam McNicol that he's mumbling.

[Stargazer]

Chung has been replaced by Jono Marks.

[Stargazer]

I don't want Rangihuna anywhere near the Magpies.
