@delicatessen They're way too casual. On attack that still works reasonably well, but they need more urgency on defence.
-
That's the third game I've seen today where the losing team scored a try to get themselves within 7 points close to the final whistle, but didn't even try and hustle back in time to kick the conversion and restart. Incredibly frustrating to watch, even against our own.
-
It was hot and windy early, but has chilled off a lot and some heavy rain has come through in the last couple of hours.
Tbf they have played a few games today. And the wind does take it out of ya. Not acceptable though in a tight game with a chance to win.

The final pool game is against Christchurch Boys. They'll need to play a lot better, if they want to secure the 2nd place in the pool.
Christchurch Boys also lost to Kelston Boys, but with a smaller marging (5 - 17), and won their other 2 games.K/o is at 6.00pm on field 2:

Very good thinking from Flanders who made a great break and could have gone to score the try himself, but passes the ball to his team mate Troydyn Bird to score under the sticks!
The try is converted and Hastings Boys win the game 19 to 17 after being 17 to 10 down.

@Stargazer
The standard of goalkicking is rather varied. Have just finished watching my grand daughters team win 25 - 05 and they missed (very badly) all five conversions most of which were from directly in front! Maybe you just assumed a kick would have gone over, but was somehow fluffed, and added the scores in anticipation? -

The standard of scorekeeping has been fairly shoddy at times as well so neither scenario would surprise me.
