@Higgins said in Hawkes Bay Schoolboy Rugby:

the crowd size was disappointing

I could only see what they showed on the livestream.

Ouch, this is the result from yesterday's game (13 June 2023)

CNI
Round 5
Whanganui Collegiate 66 - 0 Lindisfarne College

Fortunately, Lindisfarne 2nd XV beat Whanganui 2nd XV 33 - 15.

@Stargazer fake news! Are WC any good this year? I remember back in the day they use to have a few imports. We played the annual game against them and I think HBHS was meant to play them in a week or two for National Knockout. Hastings came to watch out game and left not to worried about WC. From memory HBHS killed them.

Looks like I might have to get behind the 2nd 15 this year!

@Magpie_in_aus Whanganui CS have been steadily improving the last few years. And from the beginning of this season, their 1st XV head coach is Tafai Ioasa, yes, the same Tafai Ioasa who coached Hastings Boys to two Top 4 titles (in 2017 as Ozich's assistant; in 2019 as head coach). His son Tali, who's a very talented midfielder, now also playes for WCS.

Fortunately, we've got talent in return in Harry Godfrey and Hunter Morrison, who have both moved to the Bay from Whanganui (Morrison via Manawatū).

[Stargazer]

Early try for Hastings Boys'! Their hooker scores off a line-out maul.

Mokau Lambert converts.

7 - 0 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Napier defending near their try line and get a penalty. Their line-out was good, but then get penalised for truck 'n trailer. Now Tauranga gets the line-out.

[Stargazer]

Tauranga with a strong driving maul, making metres. Napier turn the vall over, but the clearing kick comes of the side of the boot and doesn't go far. Another Tauranga line-out close to Napier's try line.

[Stargazer]

Try to Tauranga. Napier defended hard, but eventually a hole opened and one of the Tauranga backs went through.

5 - 0 Tauranga

In the other game, Gisborne get a 50:22 and get a line-out close to Hastings' try line.

[Stargazer]

Gisborne going for the pick ' go. Will the Hastings' defence hold?

Gizzy Boys' knock on, but were under advantage. There they go again.

[Stargazer]

Hastings Boys get the ball back and attack fast! Unfortunately, they knock the ball on, but that was great pace from the Hastings' backs. Scrum in Gisborne's half.

In the other game, Napier is attacking hard now.

[Stargazer]

Try to Napier! I think it was no. 8 Khan Stephenson, who got injured in the process.

Luke Thomas converts.

5 - 7 Napier

[Stargazer]

Hastings get the scrum in Gizzy's half. Hot on attack now.

[Stargazer]

Unfortunately, held up on the try line. Gisborne kicks the ball, but not in touch. Hastings attacking again.

Try!! Not sure who scored.

Mokau Lambert converts

14 - 0 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Several injuries of Napier players already. I think their hooker went off, but not sure.

[Stargazer]

Hastings and Gizzy exchanging kicks.

Tauranga get a line-out in Napier's half.

[Stargazer]

Tauranga line-out close to Napier's try line, but they're going backwards and now Napier turn the ball over and decide to run it out.
