2021 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby

[Stargazer]

Hawke's Bay U19 squad:

Had forgotten that Godfrey is still a puppy and still qualifies for this team. That should mean that he still qualifies for NZ U20s next year! If I remember them correctly from school rugby and a few academy games, Curran, Robinson, Kemp, Stok, Hayward and Godfrey are among the best of this squad.

Sat 7 August 2021 - 1.00pm - Memorial Park, Masterton

Wairarapa Bush v Hawke's Bay U19

I assume the Junior Magpies will be playing a Wai-Bush U19 side, as the Wai-Bush Heartland squad plays Wellington Centurions tomorrow, and the Wai-Bush U20 squad plays at the Hurricanes Heartland U20 tournament in Palmerston North. You'd expect our U19s to win this game easily. I hope there will be a stream that we can still watch after the Magpies game.

I haven's seen team line-ups, but apparently there are more representative games, tomorrow.

Whanganui v Hawke's Bay Saracens
Cooks Gardens, Whanganui - k/o 2.30pm

Central Hawke's Bay v Horowhenua-Kapiti
Otane Domain - k/o 2.30pm

I vaguely remember that the HB Saracens U18 also plays games, but not sure whether that's already this weekend.

As per usual, no info on the HBRU website.

Wairarapa-Bush Baabaas 7 - 22 Hawke's Bay U19

This is a match report of the Whanganui v HB Saracens game that I found on Whanganui Rugby's website:

This is the U19 squad for the game against Taranaki:

Saw some posts on instagram. It looks like Jordan Thompson-Dunn has signed a contract with a Portuguese club. I don't know which one. I hope he'll come back and hasn't give up on a Magpies jersey, yet. He's still so young, but young players seem more impatient these days.

I think former (6-cap) Magpie Hayden Hann is still playing there.

Half time: Hawke's Bay U19 21 - 24 Manawatu U19

[Stargazer]

Our U19s are terrible.

[Stargazer]

At the moment, it's 38 - 21 to the Pooh.

[Stargazer]

The handbags level of this game is high.

[Stargazer]

Getting hammered.

[Stargazer]

That Manawatu openside is a handful.

[Stargazer]

Final score:

Hawke's Bay U19 26 - 43 Manawatū U19

The HBRU didn't post a team line-up, so no idea who played. The 10 wasn't Harry Godfrey.

[Stargazer]

Apparently our U18s played as well. They lost 26 - 28 to Wairarapa-Bush U18. No shame, considering they must have missed a lot of players, with Hastings Boys, Napier Boys and Lindisfarne all playing games this afternoon, as well. So must have been a third-string team.

[Stargazer]

Not sure whether the Hawke's Bay Saracens are still playing, this year. The silence of the HBRU with respect to rep rugby is deafening. Nothing in the media, either. These are the games I've been able to find via other unions' websites:

I don't know what the rules for development teams are, but with the Magpies having a bye this weekend, I hope some of them will get a run for the Saracens. Don't want them to be undercooked for the Ta$man game, next week. Flanders is an example; MMT and Makene ... Kereru-Symes and Bryn Evans if they're ready to play.
