Dead Ball Charlie’s Highlights of the week Just love it when JAB starts – the place is a buzz with our next young inspiring All Blacks. And remember it is all about the kids. Do your part and remind people of that on the side line – kids just want to play and we just want to inspire them. A big thank you to the 1,000’s and I mean 1,000’s of parents who dedicate their time to transporting and supporting their children to play rugby and sport. You have to admire Turhirangi and East Coast Senior reserves on the weekend – ultimate duck shooting clubs and they front up on the day with a big crowd.

The Whistle Blower

Hurricanes vs Chiefs Development game match Report – there is no Whistle Blower this week

A Hawke's Bay-dominated Hurricanes Development rugby team paid the price for too much spilt ball and too

many missed first up tackles during this clash in Masterton last night.

The Hurricanes team's last outing of the season was staged to mark the opening of Trust House Memorial

Park's $2.1 million artificial turf.

Hawke's Bay Rugby Union's player development manager Joe Payton is a member of the Canes coaching staff and

pointed out this was the side's second loss in their history. The first was against their Crusaders counterparts

earlier this year. "Apart from some of the boys cramping up we had no issues with the turf. Our game just didn't

come together," Payton said.

Payton said Bay wingers Jonah Lowe and Mason Emerson, who are both members of the Magpies wider training

group, started and made the most of their limited opportunities. Magpies winger Shannan Chase came on as a

65th minute substitute and had two spectacular runs.

New Magpies prop Tolu Fahamakioa played 65 minutes and impressed with his scrummaging and carries. Like

Chase, Taradale hooker Mike Feagai, was also given the final 15 minutes and Payton was happy with his

contribution.

Hastings Rugby and Sports lock Sanaila Waqa got game time off the bench and when Wellington-based former

Hawke's Bay age group fullback Sam McNicol was injured Emerson moved to fullback and Waqa to the wing.

Former Magpies, lock Tom Parsons and prop Adrian Barone, and former Hawke's Bay under-16 prop Tim

Cadwallader, who are all Manawatu-based, also played for the Canes.

"Assembling in Wellington on the day of the game and then arriving in Masterton an hour or so before kick-off

after travelling over the hill wasn't the ideal preparation," he added.
