Not sure who this local commentator is (his voice sounds familiar), but he's too much! :cat_face_with_tears_of_joy:

Another try to Hastings, this time it's winger Josiah Sakaria. Sometimes I think the commentator is just guessing who's scoring, so not sure whether all the names are correct.

Hastings leads 46 - 0.

And just when I type that, they score again. It's a monster score. 9 tries.

It's now 53 - 0.

[Stargazer]

It looks like one of Napier's big boys has scored. Well-deserved! Again, the person from sideline live gives the points to Tauranga. It's hilarious.

Napier now leads 13 - 6.

[Stargazer]

The score I gave earlier for St John's Hastings was apprently the half time score. It's getting worse!

[Stargazer]

I can't keep up. Hastings has scored again. It's 60 - 0.

[Stargazer]

Dammit. Tauranga score close to the post. Haha, and now they give the points to Napier.

It's 13 all.

[Stargazer]

Full time:

Hastings Boys 65 - 0 Gisborne Boys
Tauranga Boys 13 - 13 Napier Boys

Whanganui Collegiate 56 - 10 St John's Hastings
Lindisfarne 15 - 17 St John's (Hamilton)

So all our top 4 schools play at home; do we have enough refs? It wouldn't surprise me if there will be refs from the surrounding provinces lending a hand.

[Stargazer]

Napier hot on attack; close to scoring and Hamilton infringing, finally losing a man to the bin.

Rotorua dominating in the other game.

No scores, yet.

[Stargazer]

Rotorua score the first points of the game against Hastings.

0 - 3

[Stargazer]

Napier unlucky. Hamilton's centre intercepts and scores the first try. Completely against the run of play.

0 - 7 Hamilton

[Stargazer]

After 20 minutes:

Hastings 0 - 3 Rotorua
Napier 0 - 10 Hamilton

[Stargazer]

The stream in Hastings isn't very good. During the buffering, Hastings must have scored an unconverted try, but now they're back at the other end of the field.

5 - 3 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Wow, blatant foul play by a Hamilton player, not spotted by the ref (who constantly has his back to where he should be watching). Afa Moleli the victim.

Play continues.

[Stargazer]

Moleli has his revenge. After a great break, his run ends just before the Hamilton try line, and one of his team mates goes over.

7 - 10 Hamilton.

In the other game, it's still 5 - 3 to Hastings.

[Stargazer]

Damn, good try to Rototua's no. 14. Some glitches in Hastings' defence.

5 - 10 Rotorua

[Stargazer]

Hastings have scored a penalty goal.

8 - 10 to Rotorua

It's half time in the other game:

Napier 7 - 10 Hamilton

[Stargazer]

Just before half time, Rotorua are lucky to get away with just a penalty and a warning.

Hastings score a penalty goal and it's half time:

Hastings 11 - 10 Rotorua

[Stargazer]

CNI - full time scores:

Lindisfarne 12 - 22 St Peter's Cambridge
St John's Hastings 25 - 15 Francis Douglas

That's a great result for St John's!

[Nepia]

Come on Hastings!

And I guess come on Napier ...
