DID YOU KNOW
THAT it was a great result for the Hawkes Bay against Otago and especially so for the teams lead from the front skipper Ash Dixon and especially on the occasion of his 100th game for the Magpies. What a way to celebrate. A weeks breather from defending the ‘Log’ when they took on North Harbour away in Takapuna, followed by their first defence against Northland at home in Napier on Friday 16 October.

Make Sure YOU get along to McLean Park for what promises to be a real ripper of a game. C’mon the Bay

THAT a good byline for this shot of Mr NOBM Cricket Club secretary could be ‘Frame the Shield’. Yes Andrew Frame is a real proud Napierite who doesn’t mind extolling the virtues of the region through the ‘Bay Buzz’, as well as having those in public office toe the line. Keep up the good work and columns Andrew.
THAT it certainly is disappointing that the lack of enthusiasm from NZ Rugby to accept an entry of a Pacifica XV in the Aotearoa Super Rugby competition in 2021. When you look at the number of players of Pacifica heritage that make up our All Blacks, Super Rugby and provincial teams, surely those supporting countries Samoa, Fiji and Tonga deserve the opportunity to combine and enter a team in their own right. Over many years these countries have become a nursery for producing so many brilliant players and on their day you couldn’t go past Sir Bryan Williams and Sir Michael Jones, two great rugby notables who are backing this proposed rugby venture.

Sure, ‘they can’t afford to enter a team etc’ will be trotted out by NZ Rugby heirachy and to a degree this could be the case in the first instance, but the following by the teams Pacifica country men, women and children will soon get the turnstiles clicking. One only has to see the support when Samoa and Tonga in particular play, venues would certainly be packed. The often pathetic crowds that turnout for many matches played by our own New Zealand franchise teams wouldn’t hold a candle to the support Pacific Islanders could potentially get from their fans.

If New Zealand doesn’t latch onto an opportunity such as this to base a team maybe in South Auckland, then our rivals across the Tasman in Western Sydney will certainly open their doors and welcome a Pacific orientated team to make up numbers and certainly add spice into their own 2021 super competition.

THAT what better way to celebrate your 100th game for the Hawkes Bay Magpies than to be the captain of a Ranfurly Shield winning team. The inspirational leader 32 year old Ash Dixon has certainly built up an impressive record across the game at top level. As well as his Hawkes Bay milestone he has played 23 times for Auckland, 15 for the Hurricanes and 87 for the Highlanders. And on the national scene a further 16 for the NZ Maoris whom he also captained on the northern hemisphere in 2016 as well as an appearance for the North Island in 2020.
THAT todays encounter in Wellington certainly has a bit more spice added with both coaches making their debuts as head coaches. And while Ian Foster has been around the scene at this level for the past eight years, Dave Rennie’s only national experience was as coach of the NZ U20’s (2008-2010). He also follows in the footsteps of the only other kiwi coach of the Wallabies Robbie Deans (2008-2013) and you can be imagine some Aussie rugby critics who will be hanging out to put the knife in if his tenure doesn’t come up to their expectations since he was appointed to the post ahead of an Australian.
THAT it’s getting to be around that time for our Summer of Sevens to kickoff with the annual NOBM Invitational 7’s Tournament to held at Tremain Field on Saturday 21 November. More details to be announced shortly.

THAT and another old Irish proverb – It’s as easy to catch a cold in a King’s castle as in a shepherd’s hut – everyone is human, wealth is no measure of health.

THAT it’s been a few years since McGoo’s Here and There appeared. With lockdown and no sport happening Eddie offered me a chance to reprise my former sports column that used to appear in the local club and rep rugby programs. I’ve rummaged up some old gems from a few years ago along with a few new bits too.

THE . . . All Blacks points average against the Wallabies has gradually increased every Rugby World Cup cycle since 1999. 2000-03 (23.3), 2004-07 (24.2), 2008-11 (26.5), 2012-15 (30.7), 2016-19 (35.6). (2020)
SHOULD . . . the Magpies retain the Ranfurly Shield against the Taniwha and the Turbos their clash with the Welly Lions will be their 100th shield game. Going into the game against Otago last Sunday their record was played 96, won 61 for an average of 64%. (2020)
WHEN . . . former AB’s midfielder Eroni Clarke’s son Caleb takes the field against the Wallabies at the Cake Tin this weekend it’ll be the first father son All Black combination since Daniel and Gary Braid. (2020)
WITH . . . Magpies skipper Ash Dixon chalking up his 100th appearance for the province last weekend it got me thinking. Just how many match centurions has there been for Hawke’s Bay? I’ve managed to make a list of 12. Neil Thimbleby, Richard Hunt, Michael Johnson, Robbie Hunter, Robbie Stuart, Bill Davis, Orcades Crawford, Chris Eaton, Clint Newland, Murdoch Paewai, Karl Lowe and Ash Dixon. Most appearances in the famous black and white kit is our own Neil Thimbleby with 158. Sitting third on the list with 137 is Green Machine legend Michael MJ Johnson. (2020)
ATHLETE JOSHUA . . . Cheptegei has certainly made the most of a very limited racing calendar this year due to Covid-19. On Thursday in Valencia, Spain the 24 year old Ugandan broke Bekele’s 15 year old 10,000m (track) record by 6 seconds with a stunning run of 26:11.00. This was Cheptegie’s third world record this year. Only 54 days earlier he’d set a new mark in the 5,000m (track) and before that had broken the record for 10km (26:24.00) on the road. (2020)
AND NOW . . . a something from the useless information file. Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Cochran, Amy Winehouse and Gary Thain. Apart from all being muscians what do these people have in common? They all died at 27 years of age and are members of what’s known obviously as The 27 Club. On the other hand Cliff Richard turns 80 this week on the 14th. (2020)
Cheers McGoo

THAT after yesterdays 10-46 bath at Albany from the North Harbour XV our Hawkes Bay fans will be expecting a big change in the performance of the Magpies when they face up to their first challenge from the Northland Taniwha next Friday evening. The wholesale changes which saw only three of the Shield winning side in the starting team that faced the Harbour side yesterday, while commendable on giving the wider squad a run en masse, was it really worth the risk of banking no points on the championship ladder which after all is really what most teams are striving for ? As an aside and a point of interest is that the Northland challengers are being coached by a former Magpie midfield back George Konia.

THAT and what an entertaining first Bledisloe Cup encounter at Sky Stadium. While both teams certainly looked rusty for a start they eventually settled into the contest that ran out to an amazing 89 minutes of game time only to have settle with a 16 all draw which was a fair indication of the run of the game. It’ll certainly pack Eden Park next Sunday to see just who is going to take out the honours. Welcome back international rugby.

++++ He believed he could so he did.

THEY SAID IT

“The four or five points, that’s the priority, because it gives us a really good launching platform.”
Well Magpie head coach Mark Ozich got more than that with his team picking up the Ranfurly Shield as well.

“If we had a chance to choose whom from the world’s countries we wanted for neighbours, most of us would go for kiwis. They think like us, they’re like us, they’re not short of ticker and we’ve been in the trenches with them for over a 100 years. However, they’ve lost respect for us as a rugby country. This clearly shows with their administrators. This needs to be corrected.”
Diehard Sydney rugby fan Chris Walker who put his money where his heart is by placing a full page ad in the The Press in support of the Wallabies ahead of their ‘incredibly tough’ Bledisloe Cup test against the All Blacks in Wellington.

“He’s not going to wait three or four years for some young Wallaby boys to be blooded, he’ll be prepared to chuck them into that environment and let them develop through test match rugby.”
Former Magpie coach Tom Coventry on Dave Rennie’s coaching philosophy.

“I slept in a bush for about a year.”
Freedom Vahaakoloo’s speaks up on his path from homeless to Highlander.

“In this competition, you can’t be off, I f you’re off five or 10 per cent, that’s what happens. Clearly our mental application and what we brought to the fixture wasn’t good enough.”
Magpie head coach Mark Ozich.

The Leprauchan Comments

Paddy and Murphy are havin’ a pint in the pub, when some scuba divers come on the TV. Paddy says, “Murphy, why is it them deep sea divers always sit on the side of the boat with them air tanks on their backs, and fall backwards out of the boat?”
Murphy thinks for a minute then says, “That’s easy. It’s ‘cos if they fell forwards, they’d still be in the friggin boat!” –

It was England v. Ireland at Twickenham. It was at that very match when the two Clancy brothers approached the turnstile. “How much is it?” asked Michael
“Twenty pounds.” said the ticket-seller.
“Well, I’ve only got one eye and so I’m only paying ten!” And, wonder of wonders, the man let him in.
“And I’m only paying ten pounds.” said Owen.
“Hang on,” said the ticket seller, ‘you’ve got two eyes!”
“Yes,” said Owen, “but I’ve only come to see Ireland.”

Irish Style
From Ireland where driving while under the influence is considered a sport, comes this story.
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in Donegal Town. After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.
After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off; it was a fine, dry summer night, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left.
At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road. The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyser test.
To his amazement, the breathalyser indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, ‘I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyser equipment must be broken.’
‘I doubt it,’ said Paddy , truly proud of himself. ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy!’

We look forward to seeing all rugby players, footballers, netballers, cricketers and softballers and friends at the clubrooms each Saturday – Pop in for cool Tui or two – Also bring along your mates for an Ale and a chat. All members and Friends Welcome …………. Ed
