Hawke's Bay v Otago (Ranfurly Shield)
-
@nepia Don't know about G Evans, but Kereru-Symes broke his hand in last week's game and has been ruled out for at least a month.
Looks like Evans was dropped.
From this morning's HB Today
This week has been about standards, with Ozich demanding an improved performance, particularly in contact. He wants his players to be more accurate in this area, which helps explain the selction of physical openside flanker Solomone Funaki over Gareth Evans, who drops out of the 23.

@number-10 @stargazer Don't panic I am taking my boots and jockstrap along just in case anyone pulls up lame in the warmup. Sadly not available for selection in the boat race team should there be one at the aftermatch function.

Don't be shocked to see the Magpies run out in a different jersey, today. They'll be wearing the charity jersey that will be auctioned off for "Nourished for Nil".

Just hanging out the washing and can report it is a beautiful HB winters day so far. Not a cloud in the sky and warming up nicely, must be close to ten degrees now and completely windless. Min you this is after a rather chilly Otago like frost here this morning, hopefully the only thing Otago will have had going for them today!!!
Forecast is not that flash as the day goes on with the wind to pick up strongly toward kick off time, first from the north west then swinging south so take plenty of warm clothes to counteract that (or slip you hipflask into your back pocket!). With a bit of luck any forecasted showers will go along the hills and miss Napier like they often do. -
i just dont feel that optimistic about this one. Hawkes Bay always turns up for the games let alone with the shield on the line
then add to the the reshuffled backline and just dont see what we're trying to achieve with our selections...honestly think a close game and no injuries would be a "win"

Popped a shoulder in the club semi-final.
He might return in the later stages of the NPC.

Visinia not happy with Gilbert there.
@canes4life bit unnecessary from Gilbert
-
Several things HB coulda been pinged for then too
-
The big kick through from koroi, McClutchy didn’t release when tackled, just got up and tried to go again
-
Hammington shoulda gone left and then Otago blew that
-
Given our territory we really should have converted something by now
