2018 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby

Superb effort, shame another try could not have been scored. I have also heard a strong whisper that the Tui turned over the Wellington Lionesses (or whatever they are called) by a couple of points. still to be confirmed mind you.

And another win! Our U19s have beaten the Hurricanes Heartland U20s 55 to 24.
From FB:
A good win today for the team against the Hurricanes Heartland Under 20 side - final score 55-24. After a close tussle in the first half, things came together really well in the second stanza, with our guys rattling on 47 points - with both Danny Toala and Lincoln McClutchie in dominant form. Clerk Kopelani had another strong performance in the mid-field, Trei Nepe-Apatu was a work-horse in the loose, and Lee Moleli was strong in the carry and at scrum time. Points: Tries - Lincoln McClutchie (2), Nikau McGregor, Danny Toala, Lolani Faleiva, Jack White, Dan Sharplin and Kyle Cornelison Conversions- Danny Toala (4), Lincoln McClutchie (2) Penalty - Danny Toala National Tournament next week - we are in the top 8 for the first time ever at this tournament - so we are mixing it with the big boys! This group of young men are up for the challenge though, and ready to go!! -

Holy batshit. This was half an hour ago:
Bay of Plenty lead Hawke's Bay 50 - 0U19s
WTF!
Lucky we won the big one.

Bloody hell, that's a bad result.
BOP definitely has a very good team, but we have some seriously good players in ours, particularly Flanders, Devery, McClutchie, Toala and a few others like Dodd-Edwards and Giles. Admittedly, I don't know many of the other players. Do we have the right coach for this team? I expected a loss, especially after the result against Wellington, but this is crazy.
We were only in the top division because Manawatu was so utter shit this year and maybe playing in the bottom division would have been better for our team?
Hopefully, the boys can still perform well against the other teams.

Not quite representative rugby but just as important. The HB Mitre10 Cup Tipping Team are suffering serious injury crisis with two missing with injuries last week meaning we had to front against perennial champions Wairarapa-Bush one short. Despite that serious disadvantage we almost tipped them over going down by just three points (37 - 40). Not sure of the severity of the injuries but luckily Propsicle is back in NZ at the moment and was pressed into service, giving us four of the six needed for last week at least (just the top five from the six count each week so someone having a stinker does not affect the score!). Think he is only here for another couple of weeks before departing back home so we really need at least one Bay supporter to step up to the mark and get our roster back to full muster as it looks like one of PAJ or Clara have season ending injuries.
