Great line-speed from Hastings Boys'. Their defence is working well thus far.
I'd have to see them against Napier Boys' to compare, but this Hastings squad doesn't seem to have really big players. Even their locks look tiny.Or some of their backs are tall, of course, so the forwards don't stand out.

My first impression of this Hastings squad is that their skill level is reasonably good and tactically they play well. They can't really break through the Palmy defence though and that might possibly be due to lack of size. Having seen the jersey numbers now, it's mainly the flankers that are tiny and the props aren't huge.
Someone should tell Palmy Boys that you can win games with goal kicking but not bonus points.
This time their kicker misses a shot at goal.
