2019 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby
-
Mixed results from yesterday's games. I couldn't find the result of the U18 girls' game.
Hawke's Bay Saracens U18 10 - 33 Horowhenua-Kāpiti U18
Hawke's Bay U16 26 - 8 Manawatū U16
Hawke's Bay U16 Dev 5 - 40 Poverty Bay U16
Hawke's Bay U14 39 - 7 HB U15 Co-ed Boys
Hawke's Bay Māori 67 - 0 Manawatū Māori -
Another try fest from the Tui! They've beaten Ta$man 55 to 5.
The age range in this squad is insane. The oldest is probably Emma Jensen at 41 and the reserve prop who scored a try on debut today, Lukika Fa'avae, is only 16. Under the competition rules, they must have asked and obtained dispensation from NZR to be able to select her.
Great season thus far. Their biggest round robin game of the season comes next week, when they play Otago.

I am posting this here as it belongs in the Magpies Rugby Section and no where else so not posting it in the Matches Thread.
Anyway found yet another song that expresses our feelings for our team and another one that can go alongside the ones from Hammond Gamble and Bob Houston as movitional songs for us. Also got recollections of another song from sometime in the 80s that was rather short lived so will see what I can do trolling through youtube to try and locate it. Not holding my breath on that one though.
Almost time now so hope final pre match preparations are going well for this pivotal match

Edit: see those Hastings Boys 1st XV players in the 'A' squad!!! That they were so good this year and still have two years to go in the 1st XV team, is awesome for HB Rugby ... if they stay in the Bay. I also think I recognise a few names from Napier 1st XV.

The Tui play their last round robin game today. Otago is also unbeaten this season, and tops the table (better points differential). It would surprise me if they don't meet each other again in the Championship Div Final again in three weeks. Unfortunately, the game isn't televised or livestreamed.

I think you are being a trifle over optimistic in hoping the game might be televised. Look at the venue, I doubt if they even have power there let alone enough capacity to conduct a live screening.

Bugger, the Tui lost their last game to Otago and missed out on a bonus point. That means they'll finish 2nd in the Championship after the round robin.
Otago was leading 24 - 12 at half time, but the Tui came back and led 26 - 24 until the 74th minute, when former Tui player Teilah Ferguson scored two tries in succession. When she scored her first, the Tui had one player in the bin for a high tackle.
The ref's arm only seemed to know one way in that second half (I didn't see the first half) and missed quite a few things. Some calls against the Tui were questionable in my one-eyed opinion.
The Tui weren't bad, but the Otago backs were good and took their opportunities better.
Scorers for the Tui: Forne Burkin 2, Tori Iosefo, Niamh Jefferson tries; conversions Sylvia Bockman 3.
FT: Tui 26 - 34 Otago
According to the draw, there are quarter finals next week. Not sure how that works with only 6 teams or what the point is of quarter finals in such a small competition.
At least, the Tui should play at home based on their 2nd spot.
