          And a reasonable chance that it will likely stay that way too with my guys bound to treat them with the respect they deserve and field a large number of squad fillers given the need to have a fully fresh Top XV lineup available for the Shield Defence against Wellington the game after! The big flop against North Harbour does not inspire much confidence of tipping over BoP if things are repeated to the same extent they were in that fixture.

            I tried, the software freaks out when I had an apostrophe in the title

              Well I am not confident, I am glad we are playing at home, that's about it. Should get confidence out of last match but we are hardly consistent ourselves. Did see some good things last week and hope that continues.
              Feel dirty even saying this, but I have actually enjoyed watching some Hawkes rugby this year, they have been playing extremely well.

                Have to agree with @Higgins .

                There is a real possibility that the Magpies will not field their top XV, particularly in the forwards.

                    No arguments with that starting lineup. All combos are in form. Enhanced bench this week too. I assume Carroll and Mewett injured to have Curry as lock cover.

                        As expected, some first-choice players rested and some on the bench.

                          @Number-10 Why is Toala rested? He hasn't played many minutes.

                            @Number-10 who? Parsons and McClutchie? Looks closer to top lineup than I was expecting in managing Shield planning

                              Regular starters Joe Apikotoa, Geoff Cridge, Brendon O'Connor and regular sub Jason Long not in the 23.

                              Regular starters Tom Parsons and Lincoln McClutchie on the bench, and you can add Danny Toala to those two as well

                                @Number-10 OK thanks. Gareth and Bryn Evans not bad subs to have. Should be a cracker game

                                  Visinia with the first try. Hawkes made that a lot harder than it should’ve been

                                    Poor effort from the 13 to let Trask go

                                        A very silly yellow card from Jordan Lay costs us on the scoreboard

                                                    The Magpies have brought all the energy, but thankfully we're somehow still in this. Our back three are low energy off the ball.

                                                      Strong crosswind is having a big impact. I thought Webber has been bop best with great chasing and involvement. Am hoping bop uses crosswind to better advantage this half. Visinia looks threatening for hb and their big forwards making lots of metres. Hot day too so fitness may tell
