@number-10 Yep, this was posted on Facebook:
PREMIER RUGBY UPDATE:
With the shortened Club Rugby season with squads being effected by Covid -19 it was unfortunately not deemed possible for the premier division to play two rounds within the time frame available. It was therefore decided that there would be just one round of the premier division with playoffs for the Ray White Maddison Trophy.
However, the Ray White Nash Cup will not be left out this season, there will be two trophies up for grabs in the Premier Grade, the Ray White Nash Cup will be played for in the round robin stages, with the team finishing in first place at the end of the round robin, being crowned the winner. The top 8 teams will qualify for the playoffs via quarter finals, semi finals and then again a club finals day at McLean Park where we will find our Ray White Maddison Trophy winner. Get out and support your team starting this FRIDAY!

Havelock North
Cooper Flanders, Tony Lamborn, Sam Smith (I assume this is him?) and Isaac Bracewell from Wellington. Both Wairarapa boys by the looks of it.

@Stargazer Some interesting selections for my Texans who play MAC at Whitmore Park later today. Jayden Stok and the Malasia brothers are all in the lineup as is Tim Farrell and Cracker Braidwood who are both on the bench. Not sure what that means as it could be a serious comeback by Mr. Farrell or simply getting him and Braidwood stripped because of a shortage of props and they might be able to fill in for 20 minutes or so in case of injuries. Also Nik Patumaka, a highly regarded player from Gisborne who was included in the Hurricanes Under 18 Development Camp in 2021, also starts in the number 6 jersey.
Sure to be an emotional game for my guys as it is just a fortnight since the funeral of cancer victim and Tech colts player Hunter Dongi was held in the clubrooms. -

@Stargazer Just realised that Kurt Baker has not made the Texans matchday squad. Maybe he still tied up with the NZ7s team up in Vancouver taking him out of consideration or might have restricted his 15s involvement because of the upcoming Birmingham Commonwealth Games even though they don't start until the end of July.

According to this it is https://www.sporty.co.nz/hbrugby/matchcentre/2481249 although the jersey numbers differ from the ones you posted earlier in this thread. In case you missed it the Doolies rolled Clive, who looked a bit short on fitness and tackling as the game wore on, something like 56 - 17. Still awaiting the Whitmore Park result.
EDIT; The result has just been posted so all's well with the world for this week at least
Altherm Tech 30 - 28 MAC
Other results
Hastings RSC 40 - 12 Pirates
Taradale 70 - 20 Aotea
Havelock Nth 13 - 08 Central HB
Napier Old Boys-Marist 56 - 17 Clive
Tamatea 100 - 00 Bye -

I see Kere Penitito ended up at NOBM. Hadn't realised his brother plays for NOBM, too.
I wonder whether all Faleiva's in HB club rugby are brothers and whether all are frontrowers. Must have been a huge food bill for their parents when they were all growing up.
