Same in the other game now. Napier Boys were parked for almost 10 minutes near the Hamilton try line and Hamilton only kept them out by offending. Despite all the penalties, the ref didn't give them a card. Now, finally out of their own half, Hamilton score again.
36 - 7 Hamilton, defintely a score that flatters Hamilton a bit, although they're clearly the better team.

I did expect two losses today, but still disappointed, of course.
Rotorua finished their game with a drop goal.
FT:
Rotorua Boys 24 - 14 Hastings Boys
Hamilton Boys 43 - 7 Napier BoysThe Super 8 final should be Hamilton Boys v New Plymouth Boys in Hamilton.
Will there be a Hurricanes play-off, this year? I know the Top Four has been cancelled, but can't remember anything about the regional play-offs.
If it goes ahead, the semis should be between Napier Boys and the Wellington runner-up and between a challenger and the Wellington no. 1.
The challenger might be Palmy Boys in that case, who beat Hastings in Super 8, but I remember from previous years, that there was a play-off game for that challenger spot, so Palmy Boys and Hastings Boys might have to play each other again, if that's the case..

I watched about 15 mins of the 2nd XV game between Hamilton and Napier. I understand most of the scoring was done in the 1st half but Hamilton won 30-12, so a good day. Payton Spencer is the 1st 5 for the Hamilton 2nd XV.

Final
Lindisfarne College v St. John's College, Hastings (1.00pm at Tremain Field) -
The Super 8 play-off games for 5th and 7th place have been cancelled, so Hastings Boys won't be playing anymore.
Obviously, the semi-finals are going ahead and kick off at 12pm.
The Lindisfarne v St John's game is livestreamed on sideline app here. I think registration for this game is free, but not sure.

Napier leads 6 to 5 after 20 minutes. No doubt, Hamilton Boys are better, but they've had little possession as a result of their handling errors. One of their rare attacks in Napier's half quite quickly resulted in a try though.
Napier Boys' problem is definitely their defence; their attack is reasonably good.
The Napier TH prop just got sent off with a YC (not sure what for), so expect Hamilton to score soon ...
