@Number-10 Doesn't the article say he was in the crowd, not playing?

Interesting to read in that article that both young school leavers Frank Lochore (Napier Boys) and Emil Crichton are used as flankers, while they were playing lock for their schools. Frank Lochore is a bit small for a lock, so it may be the right decision. Don't know how tall Crichton is.
Also good to read that Caleb Makene can play at first five, although looking at the number of tries and only few conversions, kicking at goal might not be his strength there.
Also good to see that Jonah Lowe is still playing and not injured, and that Lincoln McClutchie was on target with 3 out of 4 conversions and 2 penalties.

Had to watch the Havelock Nth v Taradale game at Anderson Park, top of the table clash between the only unbeaten teams.
Taradale won comfortably 51-22, seven tries to four - Havelock's final try was scored by Shannan Chase in the final minute.
Taradale had the bigger forward pack and a bigger backline too. Namatahi Waa was loosehead, Joe Apikotoa was tighthead, Josh Eden-Whaitiri started at lock and finished blindside flanker. Caleb Makene was first-five and Ollie Sapsford was second-five. Sapsford looks like he has bulked up a bit to me and wasn't afraid to crash the ball up, he got through a couple of times.
Taradale forward pack was too good, scored one try with a rolling maul that went 20 metres from a lineout to the tryline, and another from a 5m scrum pushover.
Latrell Smiler-Ah Kiong played first five for Havelock and had a mixed game. Made one break to set up Havelock's first try but threw a couple of long cutout passes that went forward.

@Magpie_in_aus No, but they are bringing out some special Centennial clothing which I will definitely be keen on getting. I hope to be up home in a few weeks, coinsiding with a home game of course (the Clive match looks to be the most convenient one) so will be making further enquiries at the aftermatch function.

Just checking the points tables and it looks like matches involving the Napier High School Old Boys/Marist Senior Thirds look the best bet if you are after plenty of points scoring action with over seventy points being scored on average in each of their games.

-
Watched MAC v NOB Marist.
NOB Marist came from 17-34 down to win 43-34.
The NOB Marist try to draw level was the classic one of winger running down left touchline with one man coming across - they both dived at the same time - the NOB Marist wing for the corner and the MAC defender for the NOB Marist winger. Down went the corner flag, Referee consulted the AR, and the try was awarded.
The conversion attempt was literally inches off the left touchline, the kick hit the right hand upright, bounced down on to the top of the crossbar, and bounced over.
And that's how NOB Marist went from 29-34 down to 36-34 into the lead.
Lincoln McClutchie played fullback for MAC, and had an off day with the boot, kicking 2/7.
Kianu Kereru-Symes came on for MAC in the last 30 minutes.
Hastings RS demolished unbeaten Taradale 35-10.
