Another try to Hastings. This one was scored by right wing Alex Dickey.
Hastings is leading 17 - 0.
Napier still trailing 3 - 6, just as Tim Slabbekoorn misses an easy penalty kick at goal. Don't know why Moleli isn't kicking them.
Hmm, the score on screen now says 3 - 9. I don't know when that happened.

Aone Lolofie scores an excellent try for Hastings. They're smashing Gisborne. Admittedly, Gisborne have looked the weakest of all Super 8 schools thus far, but this is really a show of strength from Hastings!
HT: Hastings BHS 22 - 0 Gisborne BHS
They give the half time score of 14 - 3 to Tauranga Boys, but that's definetely not correct. Moleli scored a try for Napier, so they should be on at least 8 points.

Not sure who this local commentator is (his voice sounds familiar), but he's too much!
Another try to Hastings, this time it's winger Josiah Sakaria. Sometimes I think the commentator is just guessing who's scoring, so not sure whether all the names are correct.
Hastings leads 46 - 0.
And just when I type that, they score again. It's a monster score. 9 tries.
It's now 53 - 0.

So all our top 4 schools play at home; do we have enough refs? It wouldn't surprise me if there will be refs from the surrounding provinces lending a hand.
