- Kalapu moves to 6

Good to see him get game time
With XTH and Vai going well. Tangitau and Clarke both needing minutes it would be hard for Saunoa to get on the field
-
Tele'a and Banks must be injured or rested for this one.
-
Hawke's Bay team to take on North Harbour
-
"Unavailable for selection this week: Nik Vikena, Mark Tele'a, Kade Banks, Tom Barham, Tamarau McGahan, James Lay"
-
Just kicked off
-
Koller has missed out on a 3 pointer from 40m out
-
MELVIN MELVIN MELVIN!
Saunoa sets up the try -
HB have scored two tries now
-
And James Parsons' cousin scores another for the Magpies
-
I realise it's "respect refs" weekend, but they don't help themselves interjecting when Flanders and Savage are having a bit of a wrestle off the ball.
No impact on the game, let them play.
-
Koller gets the 3 pointer this time

Difficult to understand the thinking there. They're still two scores behind and there was plenty of time remaining to have kicked for the corner.
-
Greedy as from Sullivan ignored the inside support
-
@Steven-Harris What a try-saver from Notoa-Tipo (ne Maka) anyway.
Jonah Lowe off the field for HB.
-
Koller missed another one earlier
-
MELVIN DOES IT AGAIN!
-
It's a tough night for Koller
