2022 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby
-
@Higgins Thanks for that write-up. Too bad about the result, but not entirely unexpected.
I wonder sending the HBRU an email complaining about their lack of info about rep games will be of any use? It annoys me immensely!
Other rep results:Central Hawke's Bay Rep team 18 - 21 Whanganui Development
Hawke's Bay Māori 47 - 31 Manawatū Māori
-
HB Under 19 scheduled match v North Harbour was not played.
Instead they played a game of three halves at Masterton v Wairarapa Bush Barbarians, won 43-0 and Hurricanes Heartland U20, won 12-10.
@Number-10 Yeah, North Harbour U19 played their Northland counterparts.
-
At least three rep games on Sat 27 August, two at home.
- HB U19 v Wellington U19, Napier (venue and time TBC)
- HB Māori v HB Samoa, Farndon Park, 3.00pm
- Manawatū Evergreens v Hawke's Bay Development, CET Arena 3, 2.00pm
From the HB Māori Rugby FB page:
TAMATEA ARIKINUI TAONGA WERO
Our 3rd game in 2022 is a re-match from two weeks ago against HB Samoa. It is sure to be a great match up as the last game produced a final minute try by Te Matau a Maui to clinch the match 26-25.
On Saturday we introduce a taonga which these two teams will contest every year from 2022. The TAMATEA ARIKINUI TAONGA has been specially commissioned by Te Matau a Maui and is a beautifully carved taonga by Matua Taka Walker.
The TAMATEA ARIKINUI TAONGA honours the connection between Ngati Kahungunu, Samoa and the Takitimu waka which had Tamatea Arikinui as the rangatira of our waka.
Come on down to Farndon Park, Clive on Saturday for the 3.00pm kick-off to support Te Matau a Maui as we host HB Samoa to see who will win the inaugural challenge for the - Tamatea Arikinui Taonga
It is sure to be a cracker!
The Hawke's Bay Tui finished second on the Championship table after the regular season. Because of that, they have bye this weekend, while numbers 3-6 play for the remaining two spots in the semi-finals. I would be very surprised if they don't play Northland (at home) in the semis.
Not sure whether two weeks off (last Saturday's game against Ta$man was cancelled) is such a good preparation for the semis.

The Tui are attempting to line up a game against Manawatu this weekend.

I just read on the club rugby website that the HBU19 v Wellington U19 game is at Tremain Field, with a kick-off time of 12.00pm.
@Stargazer Ahhh crap, not enough time to get from Tamatea to McLean Park and actually find a park then queue to get into the ground in time for kickoff in the 14th Shield defence in this reign.

Results:
HB U19 15 - 22 Wellington U19
Manawatū Evergreens 40 - 19 HB Development
HB Māori 29 - 22 HB SamoaIn previous years, Wellington U19 completely smashed us, so this isn't a very bad result.
I'd be interested to see a line-up of the HB Development team. The score sounds awful.If they'd zoomed in more, I might have recognised more than 1 player. This photo is from the Manawatū FB page:
This is the Tamatea Arikinui Taonga that was played for for the first time and won by the Te Matau a Māui team:

Apparently the halftime score was 0-0 so the second half must have been an impressive performance. Cooper Flanders scored one of the six tries (one was a penalty try) and Harry Godfrey kicked 3 conversions.

@Number-10 Maybe the wind was a factor in the game? Playing into the wind in the first half keeping them scoreless, and wind in the back the second half?

There are two home games this Saturday (10 September 2022):
The U19s play the Hurricanes Heartland U20 team in the curtain raiser to the Magpies' Shield game against Southland. Kick-off at McLean Park is at 12.00pm.
The U18s also play at home. Not sure where and at what time, but they play Wairarapa-Bush U18.
The Development team is supposed to play the Wellington Centurions in Wellington, but I haven't seen any confirmation of this, yet.
Then there is also the Te Upoko o Te Ika Tournament at the NZ Campus of Innovation & Sport in Upper Hutt.
The Hawke's Bay Māori Te Matau a Maui team will play Waitaha (Canterbury Māori) in the second game (k/o is about 2.45 or 3.00pm). The first game is between Wellington Māori Te Upoko O Te Ika and Taranaki Māori.On Saturday, the winners of the Friday games play each other and the losers play each other, at the same venue.

One of the HB U19 tries:
The player making the break near the left touchline and try assist is Harry Godfrey. I can't see who the try scorer is, but it looks like a 14 on his back.

Earlier this week, a friend of mrs SG had a bit of a rant on the Magpies' Facebook page about them not giving injury updates and no info whatsoever about rep games (we had talked about that on the weekend, or rather, I complained and she said I should "do something" about it, but I hesitated). She has since removed her post, but it may have had some effect.
They have posted the U19s line-up for Saturday's curtain raiser against Hurricanes Heartland U20.
No Cooper Flanders and Mefi Tupou, obviously, because they'll travel with the NZU19s to South Africa on Sunday (I think). Also no Harry Godfrey, who - depending on the injuries suffered by McClutchie and Makene - may play for the Magpies. -
Farah Palmer Cup Championship Final
Otago Spirit v Hawke's Bay Tui
Sat 10 September 2022
Kick-off 12.35pm
Live on Sky Sport 2Emma Jensen's last rugby game, but not lost to rugby. Not only is she a member of the HB Rugby board; she's also directly responsible for the development of the next generation of female rugby players in part of the Bay. She leads Hastings Girls' rugby programme (the only one for girls in the Bay). Her likely successor in the Tui 9 jersey, Kahlia Awa, is one of her current students.
