Hawkes Bay vs. North Harbour (RS)

[Nepia]

Jesus, I think this day is already going pear shaped. First Laban announces the evil empire Napier Boys beat the plucky Hastings Boys underdogs and then Stevenson and Li combine for that great try.

Watching 3 games that are on at the same time on 2 screens is not easy

Would love to see Shaun Stephenson in a black jersey , so reminds me of James Lowes ..a skill set made for international rugby ..D is a concern but so was Lowes

Stevenson and Lowe style outside backs with decent pace, ability to beat a man, and a huge punt don't appear to be valued in NZ rugby ... they're no George Bridges.

Bryn Gatland has had a good day out

[broughie]

Like watching the ABs of late. HB needs to hold onto the ball instead of pushing miracle passes.

@Nepia give a guy wrap , and then he burns you

[antipodean]

Could be an exciting final few minutes!

if that card was for him contesting the ball on the line in the first ruck, it looked pretty godo to me - on his feet, over the ball -- may have gone too long (but couldn't tell), but the initial effort looked blooyd solid

@nzzp from the tackle the tackler just lay there for a few seconds blocking before he moved, unsure if that was him

cool, wasn't sure who was where

[Machpants]

Poor bugger, he was down with cramp a minute ago

[Winger]

Li another try. Pace too much for the defenders 23-15 NH

That was a while ago

[taniwharugby]

@Winger did you pause the game and forget to get back to live?

[Grooter]

Enjoyed that shield game! I can't lie at one stage I thought North Habour were going to be victors but as they say you can't write off The Bay

[Steven Harris]

You have got to give the magpies their dues , when the going gets tough in these big games their forward pack always delivers .
Congratulations, gonna take a good team to prize that shield away ..

They had plenty of chances to show how good they are in the Chiefs but never really took them.

I'm genuinely bemused as to whether he doesn't realise he's behind the feed.

As bemused as I am by the result.

Lowe was great for the Chiefs.
