Eidt: good to see that St Kent's poach from Napier BHS, Treyah Kingi-Taukamo, is selected for the Hurricanes U18 and not the Blues U18.
@Stargazer - yes great to see Treyah repping the Canes jersey with pride, but please let it be known that he was not poached by St Kent's at all.

HBT's write-up below.
The Manawatu Samoa v Hawke's Bay Samoa game wasn't a preseason game, but already the first game for the High Commissioners Cup. Hawke's Bay Samoa won 39 - 15.
Edited to correct the HB Samoa score.

Where is Joe Apikatoa at the moment? He was with the Highlanders earlier in the year, and am sure he was signed with the magpies for 2019.(sorry if this has been mentioned in this thread already)

I wasn't sure where else to post this.
One of four Hawke's Bay players in the New Zealand Marist Colts side which is on a four-match tour of Poverty Bay and Hawke's Bay, Teddy, is relishing the opportunity to receive tips from the team's head coach Steve McDowall who played 81 matches, including 46 tests for the All Blacks from 1985 to 1992.The youngest of the Bay quartet, Teddy, had 25 minutes off the bench at hooker in Saturday's 79-21 drubbing of the Poverty Bay Development team in Gisborne. On Monday he had 70 minutes as the starting tighthead prop and scored a try in a 29-7 victory against a Wairoa Selection in Wairoa.He is expecting to mark some familiar players including clubmate Lee Moleli when the tourists take on a combined Hastings Rugby and Sports-Napier Old Boys Marist Colts XV at Elwood Park from 6pm today and a Saracens XV in the curtainraiser to the Magpies Mitre 10 Cup Championship match against the Wellington Lions at Napier's McLean Park on Friday night. After this tour the apprentice builder's attention will return to the Hawke's Bay under-19 team's campaign.The Hastings Rugby and Sports trio of loosie Fale Matamata, lock JJ Scales and first five-eighth Shamara Brooks are the other Bay players in the New Zealand Marist Colts team. Hastings-based New Zealand Marist Rugby Federation general manager Neil Murphy said all four Bay players have performed well to date and he has been impressed with how well the squad has gelled during the short time it has been together. Players from all 31 New Zealand Marist clubs are represented in the squad. The concept of the New Zealand Marist Colts tour began in 1974 and each year a different region of the country is visited.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=12258233

Results from Saturday, 17/8:
Preseason:
Poverty Bay 29 - 33 Hawke's Bay Saracens
Bay of Plenty Volcanix 37 - 22 Hawke's Bay TuiHurricanes U19 Seeding Tournament:
Hurricanes Heartland U20 3 - 36 Hawke's Bay U19Other Hurricanes U19 result:
Wellington U19 28 - 0 Manawatu U19I think our U19 play Manawatu at home on Saturday 24/8.
-
Results 24 August 2019
Disappointing result from the U19 seeding game. The Junior Magpies lost 5 - 15 to Manawatu. To reach the upper division of the Jock Hobbs Tournament, they will need to beat Wellington in Wellington, next week, which seems near impossible.
Wellington U19 beat Hurricanes Heartland U20 by a whopping score of 83 to 7.
Hawke's Bay Samoa won the High Commissioners Cup by also winning their last game against Whanganui: 34 - 30.
Next week starts the Farah Palmer Cup, but all teams in the Championship Divisition have the bye, so the Tui won't play, yet.
I'm still trying to figure out what competition the Hawke's Bay Saracens play in this year, because the HBRU website still has the info of 2018 and I understand things have changed. There's also a Hawke's Bay Saracens colts team that will play in a new U18 competition that starts next weekend.
A new U15 Hawke's Bay Co-ed team will play two games in September and obviously, there are the U14 and U16 rep games. Haven't seen any info about an U18 Girls rep competition this year, although other provinces have announced teams.
The HBRU web/social media/info person must have left, because the info coming out of the HBRU is significantly worse this year than last year.

@Higgins Yes. Last year, our U19s got smashed by Wellington (7 - 47) in the seeding games, but we beat Manawatu (31 - 12) and the Heartland U20 (55 - 26) and ended up in the top division of the Jock Hobbs tournament, for the first time. We can forget that top division after this result against Manawatu, because Wellington is also likely to beat us next week.

Since the switch to Under 19 in 2014, from Under 20, to tie in with the establishment of the national Jock Hobbs tournament, our results in the Hurricanes Under 19 tournament have been pathetic.
Including yesterday, we have lost five out of six to Manawatu and all five to Wellington.
Perhaps the new HB Under 18 rep team established this year is a step to try and improve this?

That's so weird considering how strong our two public boys schools are - I guess the players either go up a level or go away?

It was pretty much down to poor kicking. They turned around 15-0 at halftime after playing into a strong wind. They were pretty confident they could turn that around but their kicking game wasn’t good enough to take advantage of the breeze. Scored one unconverted try only.
Edit: By the way, Tremain Field is a shit place to watch sport on a windy day in Napier.
