Good Hamilton now penalised for going off their feet.

Rotorua attacking hard now. Hastings penalised. Rotorua going for the line-out on Hastings 5m.

Stargazer

That was a great attack from Hamilton. Unfortunately they score a try again. The Hamilton kicker converts.

Rotorua score, too. Their kicker misses.

Bugger, the synchronicity.

22 - 8 Hamilton

10 - 14 Hastings

Stargazer

I forgot what the exact rule was about reserves having to get x minutes game time, but it would have been great if Napier could bring back their starting props. Almost another try to Hamilton.

Hamilton going for a line-out.

Rotorua getting the scrumfeed in their own half.

Stargazer

Napier steal the line-out and try to drive. making about 10m.

Rotorua regain possession and are attacking again. Still in their own half.

Stargazer

Napier line-out just in Hamilton's half. Great break from one of the backs, who makes it deep into Hamilton's half.

Hastings get a penalty and go for the line-out into Hastings' 22.

Stargazer

The alarm bells are going of in Hastings. ....

Damn, Rotorua score again and take the lead. Their fullback kicks the conversion.

17 - 14 Rotorua

Napier scrum on Hamilton's 5m. Napier get the penalty. Line-out on Hamilton's 5m.

Stargazer

Good line-out. Penalty Napier, going for another line-out.

Rotorua gaining possession after the re-start.

Stargazer

That looked like Hamilton collapsed the maul, but they get the penalty.

Hamilton scrum.

Rotorua kick a penalty goal and extend their lead.

20 - 14 Rotorua

Stargazer

It looks like its full time in Rotorua.

The other game is still going. Hamilton get another scrum penalty. They kick it out, and it's over.

Full time:

Rotorua Boys 20 - 14 Hastings Boys

Hamilton Boys 22 - 8 Napier Boys

Is it too early for a drink? Not a good way to start a rugby viewing day. I expected a Hamilton win, but not that score line. I did expect a Hastings win though, so really disappointed.

Damn. Bad start to the day. Samoa Magpies on top of Aus A at the moment though.

Stargazer

It's getting worse (but definitely expected):

Francis Douglas 55 - 5 St John's (Hastings)
St Peter's Cambridge 21 - 12 Lindisfarne College

Bovidae

FYI, the score in the 2nd XV game was: Hamilton 55 - Napier 12

I was surprised by the final score given the 15 mins I watched was all Napier on attack. A big 1st half from Hamilton I'm told.

The Napier game has just started.

Stargazer

Rotorua get the penalty and go for a line-out on Napier's 10m. It is overthrown and Napier makes a good clearance kick.

Stargazer

Napier scrum deep into Rotorua's half. First scrum of the game.

Stargazer

The scrum was over quickly ...

Try!! Napier's LH prop goes over, right under the sticks. Corey Berkett converts.

7 - 0 Napier

Stargazer

Napier's frontrowers are on fire. Making breaks and carrying well. Unfortunately the right winger knocks on.

Stargazer

Napier putting a lot of pressure on Rotorua, but unfortunately not accurate enough and spoiling the ball. They should be further ahead.
