Napier have scored, too. Finally! I didn't see it, unfortunately.

0 - 12 Napier

@Stargazer said in 2022 School rugby:

Hastings line-out. Another great attack from Hastings, another knock on, another penalty conceded by TBC.

Nearly everything Hastings has done today seems to be called great. Did the knockon reach that rating?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Hastings is playing really well as a team and have some outstanding players, but there are a few (esp in the backs) who have liquid soap on their hands.

[Stargazer]

Good driving maul from TBC, and Hastings struggled stopping it. Now they get advantage; Hastings offside.

NP getting close to Napier's try line know. Napier's defence holds.

A few handbags come out.

Napier get the penalty.

[Stargazer]

Injury break for one of the Hastings players, a midfielder? He gets up. Game continues with a TBC line-out.

Napier get a line-out in their own half.

[Stargazer]

TBC and Hastings getting into a kicking contest, until TBC give away a penalty. Hastings holding a conference on the field, plotting their next attack.

Napier get another scrum.

[Stargazer]

Napier's reserve hooker is a big boy. His last name is Faleiva. Another family member of new Magpie Lolani Faleiva?

[Stargazer]

Oh, ref having a chat with both captains in the Napier game. Not sure what that was about, but Napier get another penalty. Going for the corner. Maybe they should have gone for the 3 points?

[Stargazer]

Hastings have scored again! Didn't see who scored.

15 - 40 Hastings

Edit: It was Heta Taulima

[Stargazer]

Lots of frustrated players in the Napier game. Some pushing and shoving. Ref talks to his AR. One of the Napier's locks gets a red card!! Didn't see what happened that lead to that!

[Stargazer]

Another great attack from Hastings. Again starting with Tali Ioasa. That's a player to watch for sure. It was again another back (right winger again?) who knocked on.

[Stargazer]

Napier under a lot of pressure now, with a player less on the field. But they get the penalty!

[Stargazer]

It's full time in the Hastings game. Awesome and well-deserved win!

Full time: Tauranga Boys' 15 - 40 Hastings Boys'

[Stargazer]

About 5 minutes to go in the Napier game.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer 9 minutes later and they are still going.

[Stargazer]

Sorry, I was a bit distracted and didn't see the last minutes of the Napier game. Both schools added another try.

Full time: New Plymouth Boys 7 - 17 Napier Boys

That score is flattering NP, although the difference between both teams was smaller in the 2nd half.

[Stargazer]

Full time scores:

St John's 7 - 57 St Peter's
Tauranga BC 15 - 40 Hastings Boys
New Plymouth Boys 7 - 17 Napier Boys

Good day for our Super 8 schools!

[Bovidae]

Hamilton BHS beat Gisborne BHS 59-0. Not too many conversions in that scoreline. The BP win means Hamilton hosts the Super 8 final.

[trooa]

St Peters 23-11 Sacred Heart HT in 1A top of the table clash.

Rotorua look in best place to be the other finalist - they have NP in the final round.

Hastings need to knock over the evil empire from the Tron.
