  • From the Hawke's Bay Today:

    Tomorrow night Parsons will replace Chiefs lock Michael Allardice who collected a shoulder injury in Hamilton.

"Michael could have played as it isn't serious but we decided to give it more time to recover," Magpies head coach Mark Ozich said today.

The only other change to the Magpies starting XV sees Devan Flanders replace Gareth Evans at No 8. Former All Black Evans injured an ankle against Waikato but Ozich said he will be available for next week's match against Bay of Plenty in Tauranga.

    Changes to the Magpies subs bench see Highlanders loosie Marino Mikaele-Tu'u replace Flanders and Zac Donaldson replace Johnny Ika as the back-up halfback. Should Mikaele-Tu'u take the field it will be his first outing of the season for the Magpies after a six-week spell with a shin issue.

Ozich said Mikaele-Tu'u, a two-season New Zealand under-20 rep like Flanders, had more than 40 minutes of action for the Hawke's Bay Saracens against the Wellington Development team last weekend and went well. It will be a big night for the Mikaele-Tu'u family as his sister Liana will make her starting XV debut for the Big Barrel Tui when they take on Taranaki in a third-round Farah Palmer Cup Championship clash in the 5pm curtainraiser.

    Ozich pointed out the Magpies will wear black armbands as a mark of respect to Koro Mullins who died earlier this week. A long-time Aotea club supporter, Mullins, was the husband of Hawke's Bay Rugby Football Union board member Mavis Mullins.

    Ah tutae, I just assumed Kayo was playing all the matches - but yep, can't find it. 😞

    It's not like there's any other matches on at the same time.

  • @Nepia What? Kayo isn't playing it? What devilry is this?

    ...might be for my benefit the way the Naki is going

    Yep, not playing it - they only have "selected" matches. Idiots.

  • Half an hour played in the Farah Palmer Cup game and the Bay are leading 31 - 0. Yes, you read that right.

  • First time I'm hearing that the HIA replacement rules don't apply in the Farah Palmer Cup. A player who goes off for a HiA can't come back on.

  • Holy Moly. The Tui have brought on an 18-year old reserve prop who is about as big as Ben Tameifuna.

  • Liana Mikaele-Tu'u is a massive talent. Only 17 years old.

  • Less than 2 minutes after kick-off, it's Emerson who scores for the Bay.

  • Jez, that's a pin pricking penalty. 6 on 5 in a lineout that we managed to botch onall on our own on our throw!

  • A clear forward pass missed by both the touchie and the ref. Hopefully that will be the only one that falls into that category tonight. Sadly past experience indicates it probably won't be. Still seven nil to us after eight minutes Nepia and Maggies in Aus.
