Two defaults marred today's round in Hawke's Bay's Tui Nash Cup premier club rugby competition. Yesterday Central defaulted their playoff for ninth place against Clive at Farndon Park. Central officials told Hawke's Bay Rugby Football Union's club development officer Gary Macdonald a high injury count contributed to the default. At 10am today Tamatea defaulted their quarterfinal against defending champions Napier Old Boys Marist at Park Island. Eleven of our regular 22 players are on our injured list. Among those are four of our six adequately trained frontrowers and we don't have a seconds team which we can pick from," Tamatea head coach Matt Marsh explained. "It's the first time we've defaulted and it wasn't an easy decision. We put an SOS out and got no reply. We're not blessed with 10 frontrowers like our neighbours across the road," Marsh said referring to Hastings Rugby and Sports who have regularly played one of their props at No 8 this season.Results and scorers:
Taradale 16 (D McIntyre try; D Loibl 2, B Truesdale pens; Truesdale con), Havelock North 13 (I Paewai try; D Snee 2 pens; R Tongia con). HT: Havelock 7-6. Napier Technical 55 (J Taulagi 5, T Joel, D Ramsay, T Walters, S Visibia tries; Taulagi 5 cons), MAC 5 (F Selesele try). HT: 17-0. Hastings Rugby and Sports 52 (D Toala 2, T Agnew 2, T Vaiusu 2, J Saifiti, F Matamata tries; Vaiusu 5, I Ioane cons), Napier Pirate Rugby and Sports 18 (G Naera, T Symes tries; Z Clarke 2 pens, con). HT: 28-6. Napier Old Boys Marist beat Tamatea by default. Clive beat Central by default..
JJ Taulagi is a try-scoring monster. Hope he will do the same for the Magpies!
Can someone confirm that Visibia is indeed Visinia? Is this an alternative spelling, or do HBT spell it consistenly wrong?http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=12041444

Bugger; it's starting already.

It's hard to see NOBM not winning the Nash Cup next weekend. -
This forum badly needs downvote buttons for the last 2 posts

@stargazer Napier Old Boys Marist have been dominated at set piece scrum time by a couple of other teams,but they counter that by playing the game at pace and moving bigger sides around..
-
@steven-harris Yes, when I watched the Tech OB v NOB Marist match, second round, the Tech scrum certainly was the superior one.

HT: 26-16Didn't notice that until I saw this instagram post from Jonah. Glad he has recovered from his injury and that the Canes actually let him play club rugby. Not holding my breadth that he will get capped this SR season. Hopefully, he'll get a contract at another franchise - without or with a shorter queue of midfielders/wingers - next year.
Finally got to lace up the boots again after two long months on the sideline 🤕 #gettingold -
I'm sure @Higgins as an Axeman (as well as a Texan) will approve of this

Tamatea have been deducted five points for playing Hika Elliot in their loss to Napier OB Marist last week.
Tamatea did not have an international clearance from Hika's French club, he wasn't a registered Tamatea player, and the club was told prior to the game by HBRU they couldn't play him.
So Tamatea played him anyway.
It's been a long time since Tamatea have been a threat in the Maddison Trophy. Last time they made the top four playoffs was 2005, but off-field decisions like this are just dumb.

Watched Havelock North v Tech OB. Havelock won 10-8, each side scoring just one try.
JJ Taulagi received a yellow card in the first half. He has a quick temper and bit of pushing and shoving with a Havelock player after the ball had gone saw him get the card. Is easily riled.
Magpies prop Mark Braidwood looked like he went off injured.
Tech had three chances to win in the last five minutes. Got a penalty which Taulagi kicked for touch in the corner, and it went into in-goal for a Havelock drop out.
Got a second penalty and kicked for touch close to the corner. Won the ball in the lineout but got held up on the line - ruled a maul and turnover.
From the scrum Havelock kicked it out, but still in their own 22. This time Havelock stole the ball on the Tech throw in.

It happened in the 82th minute:

Hastings RS have ended Napier OB Marist's unbeaten run with a 40-27 win. Hastings scored six tries (five converted) to five tries (one converted). Hastings got their sixth try right on fulltime.
A good game to watch, will be surprised if they don't meet up again in the final. I haven't seem any other team play at their level this year except maybe Tech OB.
The more I watch Folau Fakatava the more I reckon he is good enough to play Mitre 10 Cup this year behind Brad Weber. I thought he had a better game for Hastings RS than Ellery Wilson did for NOB Marist - was just more consistent. Has a good pass off his left hand, his weaker hand.
Don't quite agree with current approach of kicking all penalties to touch, particularly as this was a close match all the way through - neither side had a penalty attempt at goal, even though they were awarded penalties in the opposition 22.
