It's over in the Hastings Boys' game. They had far less possession in the second half and were under pressure at times, but their defence was really good and Stream's ball handling was letting them down.
Still some time to go in the Napier Boys' game. Town is getting their chances but manage to butcher them again and again.
Now it's getting silly. This is rugby, boys, not football. Forwards kicking the ball is generally not a good idea ..
Another attack from Town going nowhere, with one of their players kicking the ball dead.A few phases later, a few more handling errors from Town, and another dominant scrum from Napier, and this game is over, too.
Full time:
St Pat's Silverstream 0 - 24 Hastings Boys'
St Pat's Wellington 5 - 43 Napier Boys'The difference with Tribe is a conversion. I can't possibly say who is right, Sideline live or Tribe. It's hard to see on screen sometimes whether a conversion is good, because they're not zooming in (enough).

For all you guys who are in the Bay:
Round 2 of the Tranzit Coachlines Hurricanes Rugby 1st XV Festival on Saturday, 14 May 2022, will be played in Napier!
I understand the games will be played at NBHS, but maybe @Number-10 will be able to confirm this?Anyway, the fixtures are:
11.00am kick-off:Gisborne Boys' v St Pat's Silverstream
Palmerston North Boys' v St Pat's Wellington
12.30pm kick-off:Napier Boys' v Wellington College
Hastings Boys' v Scots College
So the idiots who are making the schedules for this competition have again managed to schedule the Napier Boys' and Hastings Boys games at the same time.
You'd swear they do it on purpose! -

Are there any Hastings Boys Old Boys on the Fern who are members, or are willing to become members, of the Hastings Boys' High School Old Boys' Association (Official Group) Facebook Group? This used to be a public group and they have published team info in the past, but now they're a private group and outsiders can't see their content anymore.
You'd do us a big favour by keeping us informed about the team, if anything is posted in that group, such as team line-ups and games (incl. kick-off times and venues).

Napier Boys not in the ref's good books. All the penalties go against them.
Just as I write that, a Wellington players tries to be too flashy, keeping the ball in by throwing a no-look pass to keep the ball in play isntead of touch ... straight into the hands of a Napier back who goes on a run and scores under the sticks.
21 - 7 Napier Boys'
