Hawke's Bay v Otago

[Steven Harris]

@Nepia good return for the Magpies after storm week , i would take wins no matter how i played .
Secretly i was hiding behind the couch when that last conversion was being taken

@Nepia Grigg also knocks the ball on quite often when he runs into contact.

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Yeah, I'm happy enough with getting 3 wins from stormweek, no matter how close those wins were. Want to see improvment from now on though! These close games are bad for my health.

The reserve hooker never came on. Glad they didn't take the risk, although Thompson gave away a few penalties the coaches won't be happy with.

[Stargazer]

Good day for the Bay teams by the way. The Magpies and Tui both getting the bonus point win, and the Tui securing a spot in the Premiership semi-finals, a year after promotion from the Championship!

Flanders should be the MotM again. The man is in great form.

Magpies player of the day went to Devan Flanders.

Magpies currently three props down - Farrell (ribs - 3 weeks), Salmon (HIA) and Hintz (HIA).

I'd be keen to see Finn Hurley get a run in the sevens programme after the NPC. He is absolutely electric when he's on. Just needs to think about how to offset his size issues.
