BAY OF PLENTY V’s HAWKE’S BAY
TODAY, Sunday 8th October at 2.00pm, Tauranga Domain
TODAY’S MATCH

After the embarrassment caused to themselves, players past, their supporters, their opponents and the wider New Zealand public, with last week’s Ranfurly Shield fiasco, the Magpie’s pride is on the line!
And just as we are taught as a family to forgive when one of our children goes astray. I believe, it is for that reason, that the Hawke’s Bay Magpie Rugby community must get behind their errant team.
Now at stake is the Magpies’ dream of being the first Hawke’s Bay team to win the NPC in the 48 seasons it was first played in 1976.
First-five-eighths Lincoln McClutchie, the only Magpie to have started in all 10 matches this season to date.
McClutchie has scored 103 points in the process and now has 432 in all games for Hawke’s Bay since his debut in 2018, just three points short of the 435 scored by 1956-1965 player, Tony Small, who is fourth on the list of the top scorers in the near 140 years of Hawke’s Bays Senior representative rugby.
The TAB installed Bay of Plenty the favourite to win, paying $1.62 on Friday morning with Hawke’s Bay paying $2.35.
