Hawke's Bay Magpies lock in quarterfinal clash with Lions

Hawke's Bay Magpies will play Wellington in a quarterfinal this weekend.

Hawke's Bay Magpies lock in quarterfinal clash with Lions. Canterbury host Northland and North Harbour host Auckland. Wellington's big win over Counties Manukau confirmed their place at the top of the Odds pool. The other quarterfinals are against the current holders. Hawke’s Bay conceded the Ranfurly Shield to Wellington two weeks ago. They lost their next game against Bay of Plenty. On Friday, they beat Tasman 25-17 at McLean Park. The result secured their fifth-straight finals campaign. It was the last weekend of round robin.

NPC talking points: Can anybody tame the rampant Wellington Lions?

It sure doesn't look like more than a few teams are capable of doing so. And two of those teams - Canterbury and Tasman - had golden chances to do so but couldn't finish the job. The reigning champions and Ranfurly Shield holders have notched a team-record 18 straight wins, six of them this season. That leaves the Tamati Ellison-coached side atop…

NPC talking points: Winds of change again blowing around competition

Work is already going on in the background in regard to what the competition might look like in the future, but it would be naive to expect smooth and quick change. At least not unless NZR can come up with an attractive alternative to woo the provincial unions (PUs), the all-important stakeholders. You only have to look at how long the Silver Lake…

NPC: Hawke's Bay eye quarterfinal with 25-17 win over Tasman in Napier

Winning pretty wasn't important for Hawke's Bay in Napier on Friday night. What mattered to the Magpies was that they kept their NPC title hopes alive with a bonus-point 25-17 victory over Tasman, bounding over Otago into fourth place in the Odds conference following this final round-robin match at McLean Park. Now the pressure is on Otago to…

The Mako have not missed the finals for four years but that proud record could be under threat as they contend with some key injuries and a high number of missing All Blacks, and not even the return of Sevu Reece and Leicester Fainga'anuku could stop them falling to North Harbour on Saturday.

Mitre 10 Cup: Canterbury loose forward Cullen Grace cotton wooled

Grace was a prime candidate to be cut loose, given the 20-year-old has already missed plenty of rugby this year with a broken thumb, and is unlikely to be rushed into Ian Foster's 23 for the two home Bledisloe Cup tests next month. However, Canterbury weren't granted permission to pick him in their team to face Hawke's Bay in Napier on Saturday…
