Geez, we'll now have to play with a 19-year-old debutant at hooker for 50 minutes of the game. Way too soon. Hope he goes well.

Power hasn't impressed me so far TBH, and I think he's only a year older than KKS, so prefer the homegrown Hawkes Bay boy get the gametime.

@stargazer Our prop Sakalia caught the disease. Not used to open paddock. Ha

[Stargazer]

@nepia Is Power that young? I think he offers a bit more .. eh, power ... in the scrum. He's a lot bigger than KKS.

A google search suggests he was playing NZ U20s last year. Unless I've got the wrong player.

Will Tremain. Any relation to Kel

Grandson.

[Stargazer]

So Tremain and Cridge are already on; Evans and Allardice off early. Geezus.

[Stargazer]

Maybe tactical, considering we're entering storm week.

[Nepia]

All right, I'm out, have to catch the train out west to watch the Warriors - why oh why didn't I check the NPC draw before agreeing to go to the game.

Will watch the 2nd half after I watch the replay of the ABs v Arg when I get home.

Go Magpies!

Great impact already

[BOPRED]

Our scrum is strong this year

[BOPRED]

This is not good

[Stargazer]

Brad Weber and Jonah Lowe. Awesome!

[Higgins]

Things are certainly looking a lot better since half time. I am just having a practice beer to make sure I can still do it in traditional style the way HB victories are always celebrated afterward. I'm pleased to say things are still in good working order!

Hawkes Bay 22 - 13 Bay of Plenty after about fifty five minutes

[Stargazer]

That was terrible from Ili.

[Higgins]

How the hell did that last BoP try happen?

[Stargazer]

More importantly: can Falcon still walk?

[BOPRED]

These two BAYs don't make it easy for us supporters

[Higgins]

The wheels have fallen off big time damn it all. Still just the six points behind at the moment so there is still hope on more scoring movement might just do it in the last six minutes.

[Higgins]

Beautiful position for lineout driving try PLEASE
