Good Hamilton now penalised for going off their feet.

Rotorua attacking hard now. Hastings penalised. Rotorua going for the line-out on Hastings 5m.

[Stargazer]

That was a great attack from Hamilton. Unfortunately they score a try again. The Hamilton kicker converts.

Rotorua score, too. Their kicker misses.

Bugger, the synchronicity.

22 - 8 Hamilton

10 - 14 Hastings

[Stargazer]

I forgot what the exact rule was about reserves having to get x minutes game time, but it would have been great if Napier could bring back their starting props. Almost another try to Hamilton.

Hamilton going for a line-out.

Rotorua getting the scrumfeed in their own half.

[Stargazer]

Napier steal the line-out and try to drive. making about 10m.

Rotorua regain possession and are attacking again. Still in their own half.

[Stargazer]

Napier line-out just in Hamilton's half. Great break from one of the backs, who makes it deep into Hamilton's half.

Hastings get a penalty and go for the line-out into Hastings' 22.

[Stargazer]

The alarm bells are going of in Hastings. ....

Damn, Rotorua score again and take the lead. Their fullback kicks the conversion.

17 - 14 Rotorua

Napier scrum on Hamilton's 5m. Napier get the penalty. Line-out on Hamilton's 5m.

[Stargazer]

Good line-out. Penalty Napier, going for another line-out.

Rotorua gaining possession after the re-start.

[Stargazer]

That looked like Hamilton collapsed the maul, but they get the penalty.

Hamilton scrum.

Rotorua kick a penalty goal and extend their lead.

20 - 14 Rotorua

[Stargazer]

It looks like its full time in Rotorua.

The other game is still going. Hamilton get another scrum penalty. They kick it out, and it's over.

Full time:

Rotorua Boys 20 - 14 Hastings Boys

Hamilton Boys 22 - 8 Napier Boys

Is it too early for a drink? Not a good way to start a rugby viewing day. I expected a Hamilton win, but not that score line. I did expect a Hastings win though, so really disappointed.

Damn. Bad start to the day. Samoa Magpies on top of Aus A at the moment though.

[Stargazer]

It's getting worse (but definitely expected):

Francis Douglas 55 - 5 St John's (Hastings)
St Peter's Cambridge 21 - 12 Lindisfarne College

[Bovidae]

FYI, the score in the 2nd XV game was: Hamilton 55 - Napier 12

I was surprised by the final score given the 15 mins I watched was all Napier on attack. A big 1st half from Hamilton I'm told.

The Napier game has just started.

[Stargazer]

Rotorua get the penalty and go for a line-out on Napier's 10m. It is overthrown and Napier makes a good clearance kick.

[Stargazer]

Napier scrum deep into Rotorua's half. First scrum of the game.

[Stargazer]

The scrum was over quickly ...

Try!! Napier's LH prop goes over, right under the sticks. Corey Berkett converts.

7 - 0 Napier

[Stargazer]

Napier's frontrowers are on fire. Making breaks and carrying well. Unfortunately the right winger knocks on.

[Stargazer]

Napier putting a lot of pressure on Rotorua, but unfortunately not accurate enough and spoiling the ball. They should be further ahead.
