      This year's Hawkes Bay team looks a very strong one. They kick there campaign off this Sunday in Invercargill against a Southland side led by ex Bay player Tony Lamborn. Most people would suggest an easy victory for the Bay, but let's hope the Bay players don't think that. On paper yes you would think so, but Southland are a dogged team especially in Invercargill. Where this could be won is whether Southland can continually turn back the pressure this Bay team will apply to them. Southland by all reports played well in there pre season game against Otago, but you can't judge a team on that. This is the real deal. Hawkes Bay will field effectively a Super Rugby side, and while I would expect Southland to be all fire and brimstone early on, I would also expect the Bay to over power them, especially in the second half with the impact the Bay have off the bench. I never predict scores, but a Bay win that shakes off the rust with so many different franchise players coming back together, and a performance that befits the quality of player they have would be sufficient for now.

            Any team or squad lists around for HB? Their website has bits and pieces about signings but no obvious squad list

                  That’s not how it works on the fern. We are lazy and sit waiting for others to do the work for us 😉

                  Piss poor of the union though if you have to hunt out a FB page to see who your squad is.

                          @Crucial I figured since he’s a playing rugby in Hawkes Bay they might aswell sign him up

                            I’ve never denied that we poach, in fact I’m usually complaining about our useless poaches. Obviously we’re not at Tasman/Canterbury levels.

                                  That's a fascinating HB side. Bryn Evans is back!? Caleb Makene now on board, and Kurt Baker. Weber off the bench. A decent looking tight 5, which unfortunately for Southland negates what might have been their only area of strength.

                                    Makene returned home last year and played most of last years NPC.

                                    Evans just happened to return home and they contracted him, which is good for the locking depth.

                                          I don't think so, he got loaned to Tasman at one stage but don't think he's ever played for Counties, @Crucial might be able to confirm.

                                              No, he was loaned for one season to Tasman and rest Canterbury. He went straight to Hawke's Bay after, never to CM. That was last year.

                                                I assume IWL is injured. He didn't play the last few games for the Canes, and wasn't in the line-up for last week's preseason game either. Toala got injured in the club rugby final (back injury?).

                                                Toala's injury might be serious enough. We have have to backs as injury replacement in the squad. Anzelo Tuitavuki and Bas Visinia. The first is a wing/centre and the second a midfielder. One is an injury replacement for Sam McNicol and the other wasn't named, but I can't think of another back who's injured at the moment.

                                                Farrell is not in the squad, although he played club rugby. I understand it's his own choice not to play Mitre 10 Cup, but not sure.

                                                          Interesting to see Flanders at 8 and MMT blindside. Would have thought other way around.

                                                            Interesting to see Flanders at 8 and MMT blindside. Would have thought other way around.

                                                            Yeah me too.

                                                              @Number-10 Are Walker-Leawere, Farrell and Toala injured?

                                                              As @Stargazer has posted - yes, no, yes.

                                                              The HB Today this morning has Isaia Walker-Leawere on the subs bench but notes he is carrying a hamstring strain. The HB Today has a 6pm contributions deadline.

                                                              The team I posted was taken from the HBRU facebook post this morning with Bryn Evans (not Walker-Leawere) on the bench.

                                                              So it seems yesterday afternoon Walker-Leawere was on the bench, but this morning Bryn Evans is on the bench.

                                                              Tim Farrell, although played most of the club season, including the semi-final, was not available for higher honours.

A physical impossibility, but there is no way he should be missing when compared to the two midfield players named.

Southland probably had more of the play in the 1st half but couldn't come away with a try for all their endeavour. Hawke's Bays set piece working well in tough conditions.
