This should be the link to the Hastings Boys' livestream, but they seem to have some technical difficulties, so not sure it will work (properly):

Edit: still doesn't work properly.

[Stargazer]

Hastings Boys have scored a (converted) try.

7 - 0

[Stargazer]

Tauranga Boys have scored an unconverted try.

7 - 5 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Try to Napier! Not sure what happened there, with the officials deliberating, but I think it was Joel Russell who scored off the quick tap.

5 - 0 Napier

Hastings hot on attack in the other game, now getting a penalty - I think - deep in Tauranga's half.

[Stargazer]

Very good try to New Plymouth after a great line-break from NP's halfback; some poor tackling from Napier, too;

5 - 7 NP

[Higgins]

It is pretty hard wishing bad luck on a team dressed in black and white hoops playing in Napier.

[Stargazer]

Angus Prouting is a real prospect in that Napier squad. I hope the HBRu have locked him in before the Highlanders lure him to Dunedin, too.

Hastings under the pump in the other game.

@Stargazer Looks to be a decent southerly blowing in directly from Antartica bringing in a rather chilly wind factor. Will probably be helping the visiting New Plymouth team immeasurably in this first half. Napier in for a second try to take the lead to warm me up a bit.

[Stargazer]

Napier get a penalty close to the NP try line and go for a line-out. The drive is going well and it's a try!

[Stargazer]

That stream in the Hastings game is really bad. Tribe tells me the score hasn't changed, but are they there or are they watching the same bad stream?

[Stargazer]

The try wasn't converted.

10 - 7 Napier

[Stargazer]

It's a pity the NP defence pushed the Napier player out, because that looked like a great Napier attack. Their line-out is going really well. The calls are good and the throws are accurate, and Napier's tall timber also steal a line-out now and then.

[Stargazer]

Napier's attack is usually not the problem; their defence is a bit inconsistent.

[Stargazer]

The stream in the Hastings game has now disappeared completely.

[Stargazer]

Great turnover from CJ Mienie, but unfortunately he put his foot on the touchline when he went for a run. Napier under advantage and they opt for the scrum.

[Stargazer]

Bugger, just when I quickly look at my twitter feed, New Plymouth score a try. What happened?

[Stargazer]

The stream in Hstings is back. The score still unchanged, although Hastings almost scored, just now.

[Stargazer]

NP's try has not been converted.

10 - 12 New Plymouth.

That was really against the run of play. Napier look the better team, but are trailing.
