The HBRU still hasn't posted a team line-up or updated squad list for tomorrow's preseason game (yes, I've seen the full squad list posted above and in the HBT). Manawatū have, see link below.
On the Manawatū webpage are the details that weren't in the HBT:
K/o time: 2.30pm
Venue: Bush Multisport Park, PahiatuaHastings Boys Top 4 Champ Julian Goerke and Napier Boys' Top 4 runner-up squad member Kegan Christian-Goss are in the Manawatū Evergreens squad.

Half time:
Manawatū Evergreens 14 - 19 Hawke's Bay Saracens
I have no idea who the try scorers are, or the HB line-up for that matter.
The HBRU are not posting any updates of the game, but fortunately Manawatū is giving the live scores on Twitter (but only posting the names of their own points scorers).The Manawatū Standard is usually covering games like these, so hopefully there will be some match report in the media, with names.

@Stargazer said in Magpies 2022:
Yuck.
Full time: Manawatū Evergreens 33 - 26 Hawke's Bay Saracens
Damn, we really do need that downvote button.

@Nepia I hate losing to the Pooh. Not having seen our starting line-up & bench, I'm not sure whether I should be worried about this result for the Heartland Ranfurly Shield defences. The Heartland teams are a step down from Manawatū's development side, I guess, so they should also be a step down from ours.
Also don't know whether we'll have any players back from Super at the end of the month (think players like Flanders, who hasn't played much recently). Last year, we had Apikotoa, Visinia, G Evans and Toala back for the first defence.

@Nepia I totally agree, but I guess they don't know what else to post on FB & instagram until the next game. Although their social media skills have improved as regards club & some junior rugby, it is still totally shit with respect to rep rugby and completely absent for 1st XV. They also hardly use their website. They should take lessons from a provinces like Southland!

Here are the point scorers from the non first class match played by the Hawkes Bay Saracens XV the other day which I lifted from the Manawatu Evening Standard's website.
Hawke’s Bay Saracens 26 (Josh Kaifa, Sheridan Rangihuna, Lewis Bush, Jimmi Harris, tries; Harry Godfrey 2, Hoera Stephenson, cons) HT: 14-19. -

@Stargazer did the 9 jersey proud last season, looked way better than I had seen him in chch but then again consistent game time obviously helps!
