      Last game of the round.
      Hawkes Bay, the team from near Hawke Bay take on visitors from the other side of the island who have negotiated safe passage through Palmerston North to get here on time.
      It's a bit windy at McLean Park making the kicking tricky.

        Cooper v Barrett in the goal kicking ... we've got this, especially with Winterbottom whose only job all day will be to head straight for Broden.

        Mullet Jesus v Maori Jesus is a tasty match up.

          This would be competitive but sorry HB too many journeymen and almost every time I look at your team sheet and think he's a bit tidy I look at the match up and....

            We have BBBR, he balances out all the journeymen @Higgins and @Stargazer included in our squad. 😉

                Yeah, I checked. I wasn’t certain either.

                  I would be a little worried about Jason Hewett at hooker. Norm Hewitt obviously on the piss on match day.

                    12 games, 2010-2011.

                    Went to Bay of Plenty 2012-2015 and never appeared for them.

                        Yes as @Number-10 notes he never played for BoP. Playing for the Magpies set him on his path to superstardom. 😉

                          yeah, strange one, being with BoP for 3 years and didn't play a game, but certainly Nepia is right on this

                            It was a franchise deal, like Ben May for the Canes and Magpies ... but I assume BBBRs missus would have dropped him immediately if he'd actually dared pull on that jumper.

                                  Lol, wouldn’t it be easier to just list those not on the list? 😀

                                    n.b. I didn't include any of Brad Thorn, Ali Williams or Chris Jack in the Tasman team! And the first two ended up being available for selection.

                                      That was silly of you, you might have beaten Otago if you had those two.

                                        We could have had Meads, McCaw, Jones and Carter (and Jesus - maori and otherwise) in the Tasman team - and still the votes would have poured in against us! 🙂

                                          Unsurprising, as you've only been an Invitational XV for a few years, you don't have the long term depth. You do have 20 Super players in your current squad though, amazing that a non franchise base can pull that kind of squad together, so kudos for that.

                                                Getting close to full time here and my guys are not looking good here on the scoreboard. Even more worrying is what appears to be a major injury to one of the props (couldn't see the number of the screen) but thankfully John Ashworth has been spotted running the roads and will be fit to slot into the starting side for the next game if the HB selection panel all agree.
