Unfortunately, Napier's biggest prop, Iafeta Ma'a leaves the field injured.

[Stargazer]

Afa Moleli scores a penalty goal.

The half time score is New Plymouth Boys 6, Napier Boys 10.

No idea what's happening in Tauranga.

[Stargazer]

Damn, penalty try for NP and yellow for Jayden Stok for deliberate knock down.

NP take the lead: 13 - 10.

[Stargazer]

Great try from the NP number 12. NP making good use of the one-man advantage.

NP lead 18 to 10. Come on Napier!

[Stargazer]

NP players offside by miles; ref doing nothing.

[Stargazer]

Oh, when a Napier player is offside, he sees it!

[Stargazer]

Quick tap and NP score again.

NP 25 - 10 Napier

[Stargazer]

Well-deserved try for Napier. Afa Moleli goes over. He converts his own try.

NP 25 - 17 Napier

[Stargazer]

So many penalties given away by NP, but the ref doesn't want to give yellow, apparently.

[Stargazer]

Try to Napier's Nick Ennor (apparently a cousin of Braydon).

Not much time left.

25 - 22 NP

[Stargazer]

FT: New Plymouth Boys 25 - 22 Napier Boys

Napier deserved more.

[Stargazer]

Still no info about the Hastings Boys' game.

In the mean time, St John's Hastings leads 24 - 5 in their CNI 9th place play-off against Francis Douglas MC.

[Stargazer]

Good news. Hasting Boys finally got their first win of the Super 8 season. They beat Tauranga 10 to 7. It's probably not enough to avoid the wooden spoon, unless the snatch the Moascar Cup off Rotorua next week (assuming it's on the line in a catch-up game).

[Stargazer]

Unfortunately, Hastings Girls lost 10 - 27 to St. Mary’s College, yesterday, in the semi-final of the Hurricanes Rex Kerr Cup .

[Stargazer]

Napier Boys 2nd XV won again! They beat NPBHS 2nd XV 42 to 20. They're still unbeaten.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Not unfortunate for me though as my whangai granddaugters play for St. Marys! I didn't go up to Palmy for the game by the way but will have to be at Porirua Park for the Final against Manukura in a couple of weeks time.

[Stargazer]

Just started:

Super 8

• Rotorua BHS v Hastings BHS
• Hamilton BHS v Napier BHS

Live on sideline app.
Being realistic, both HB schools may lose today.

Also today:

CNI
Lindisfarne v St John's Hamilton
Rathkeale Coll v St John's Hastings

[Stargazer]

Napier Boys squad:

Napier Boys have taken the lead against Hamilton. Jayden Stok scored a try, which was converted by Afa Moleli. 7 - 0
Just as I type this, Hamilton scores. Napier leads 7 - 5.

Hastings Boys conceded a try to Rotorua, but have come back with one of their own. Don't have a team list and the person who keeps score for Tribe apparently doesn't either. Rotorua leads 7 - 5. Again, not able to post this before Rotorua scores another one, extending their lead to 14 - 5.

Edit: the score now suggests the Hastings try was converted. Didn't see it. 14 - 7.

[Stargazer]

Terrible jersey clash in that Rotorua v Hastings game. It's hard to distinguish the teams.

[Stargazer]

The hole in Napiers' defence is costly. Hamilton in again. 12 - 7 Hamilton
