Was at the Napier BHS-Hastings BHS game.
You're right @Stargazer, the last minute try to Hastings to win was definitely against the run of play - but all credit to them because they had to go 80 metres to do it, and was very well executed.
The second half was all Napier BHS and they only scored one try with all the possession and territory and scrum dominance they had - have only themselves to blame.
I also liked the look of the two Hastings BHS flankers Daemon Brough (7) and Connor Wadley (6). Brough clearly had the Napier BHS first five Henry Willams worried with his speed and aniticipation, Williams twice hurriedly passed the ball a split second before Brough got to him.
Napier BHS had the better tight five but Hastings BHS had the better loose trio. I thought the backs probably cancelled each other out.

@Higgins Yeah, Hastings v Rotorua is the clash of the current top two teams; and Napier v Hamilton the next two against each other. One of these four teams will take out the Super 8 title, but impossible to predict which one. Hope our Bay teams have a great day, tomorrow!

Up the 'farne. I have been following the Lindisafarne 1st 15 page there is a kid in the forwards last name is Savea. Any relation to the 7 foot Savea and the 200kg Toulon Winger?

As hard as it it is to say but congrats to HBHS on their victory away to Rotorua. We have to put aside all bias and support out cousins against outside invaders. Look forward to hearing the report from the NBHS match against Hamilton to learn of the really unlucky late against the run of the play call that gave the win to Hamilton.

Looks like the NBHS was close and could have gone any way - does anyone have a match report?

Super 8
New Plymouth BHS 1st XV 12 - 26 Hastings BHS 1st XV
Rotorua BHS 1st XV 47 - 7 Napier BHS 1st XVThe score of the first game is flattering NP; Hastings dominated all game, but handling errors prevented them from scoring more tries, more so than the NP's defence (although they weren't bad; Hastings was just much better).
Napier had another off-day it seems. Only watched a few minutes when they were already down a few tries, and they seemed to have given up already. They scored their converted try in the last seconds of the game. I fear for the Polson Banner game on 3 August. They'll be dropping on the Super 8 table, too.
Other results:
Tauranga BC 19 - 21 Hamilton BHSNo more games until the last week of July.
