@Number-10 said in 2019 club rugby:
Yep, no sign of Karl Lowe. He was helping out the Hastings BHS first XV last year. Maybe he's doing the same again this year?
No sign of Kianu Kereru-Symes for Tamatea, either.
That Clive team list of 22 contains only five players that played in last year's Maddison Trophy final - Rana Huata, Lucas Goodin, Bronson Hokianga, Eti Collins, Jesse Tuhua.
According to the paper Kereru-Symes played for MAC yesterday and Tim Farrell made his first appearance for 18 months.

Ah, that will explain it!

Tonight went and watched Hastings RS v Tech OB, Hastings RS won 36-10.
Tech were scoreless in the second half, and hardly ever got out of their half.
I didn't think the lights were good enough at Elwood Park.
Jason Long played for Hastings RS but Mason Emerson didn't.
Mark Braidwood and Trent Boswell-Wakefield both came on in the second half for Tech OB, but Tim Farrell did not play - apparently Tech just want to ease him back in.
Apparently Clive defaulted to Havelock Nth, Clive didn't have enough front rowers.

@Number-10 Mason Emerson is still in Japan, I think (the HBT mentioned him playing sevens there).

Havelock North beat Clive by default. -

Have Clive managed to find any front rowers yet or will this be another default loss by them? Also whats the story behind the Bridge Pa team in Div 3, perhaps some of the League guys fronting up for rugby until their season starts later?
@Higgins I assumed Clive Prems not having frontrowers for Wednesday's game had to do with the fact that it was a mid-week game. I may be wrong.
I don't know about Bridge Pa. I think they also had their first ever 7s team end of last yea, and their own 7s tournament earlier this year. I remember reading an article in which it was mentioned, but I can't find it anymore. Saw this on their Facebook page:

I was at the NOB
Mgame.NOB tried to play a more expansive game than the weather permitted, however saying that, there was a huge difference in performance from what I saw last week.
The ref.
Last week was Dan Waenga, and as an ex player he had a good feel for the game and let it flow, played reasonable advantages, and had a good relationship with the players. I'm not sure who the ref was at the Taradale game today, but he dished out 3 yellows (one initially was a red then he changed it to a yellow). There must have been 30 penalties in the game, and at least 6 for head high tackles that were incidental at best.
Congrats on Taradale for the win - their right winger was fast and accurate, and their prop who was also throwing lineouts was effective.
