DID YOU KNOW
VS THAT following Friday evenings Mitre10 Championship Final against the Northland Taniwha Hawkes Bay can now lock away both trophies they have captured this past season namely the Mitre10 Championship and also the coveted Ranfurly Shield.
In the case of the championship Cup it is now the third time they have won it – 2011, 2015 and 2020. It will remain to be seen if the current two sector cross over competition remains as NZ Rugby has been considering making changes and there should be some announcement on this matter soon.
And for the final which saw the Magpies making some uncustomary errors from the kick-off with a spilled ball and other onfield mishaps and Northland really made the Magpies work for their eventual result. In the close fought opening forty the visitors led the scoring stakes with a hattrick of touchdowns to Hawkes Bay’s pair. Locked up at 17 apiece the teams went to the changing rooms where in Hawkes Bays case there would have been some serious soul searching as Dixons men hadn’t been as authorative as they had shown in earlier outings. The next eighteen minutes into the second half the home side notched up their own hattrick with some spectacular tries to go out to a 19 point lead not counting the disallowed tries to Dixon and Devan Flanders. The visitors only reply was a late converted try. The final 36-24 win result showed that Hawkes Bay were worthy of promotion to the Premiership in 2021 if the current competition remains the same, and their wins over ‘top dogs’ Canterbury and Wellington in their crossover fixtures certainly made that point.
CONGRATULATIONS . . . to the whole Hawke’s Bay Magpies rugby set up for achieving their goal of winning the 2020 Mitre 10 Cup and promotion to the Premiership for 2021. This is undoubtedly the first time in Hawke’s Bay Rugby history that they’ve won the Ranfurly Shield and the Championship in the same season.
IF THE NZRU . . . go ahead with the rumours going around and alter the current two tier format of the Mitre 10 competition Hawke’s Bay will end up with another permanent trophy in their cabinet. Back in 2005 they became the forever holders of the NPC Division 2 trophy after defeating Nelson Bays 32-17 in Napier. The following year was the start of the format that currently exists. That year also Auckland defeated Otago 39-11 for Division 1 title and Wairarapa Bush took out the last ever 3rd Division title with a hard fought 28-23 win over Horowhenua-Kapiti.
FOR YEARS . . . years I’ve taken part in various rugby sweep competitions with varying success. On a site South Afican called Superbru at the conclusion of the Mitre 10 Cup I finished in the following positions:- Global 53/9399, New Zealand 40/5043, Hawkes Bay 13/410 and 1/19 Raucous Seals pool.
WILLIE . . . Rickards coach of last weekend’s beaten semi-finalists Taranaki is under the pump after another disapointing season from the Bulls. In his three seasons in charge Rickards only has a win success rate of 32% with 10 wins from 21 matches.
HERE’S A STRANGE . . . twist of fate. This week Argentinian footballing legend Diego Maradona passed away this week on the 25th November at the age of 60 after years of drug and alcohol abuse. That is also exactly the same date that Irish footballing genius George Best died in 2005 from years of drug and alcohol abuse at the age of 59.
THE ONLY . . . club related birthday I could find this week was that of our club chef extraordinaire Rick Anderson. Rick has duly reached exactly his mid 50s.
AND NOW . . . a something from the useless information file. Did you know? That prior to last night’s 38-0 win over the Pumas that the All Blacks had 35 tests before the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Cheers McGoo
THAT only in Ireland – May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
THAT would you call that a fair shot on Magpie first five Lincoln McClutchie in Friday evenings Championship Final ? When you consider all the hype that went on a last year about how anything from the chest up was going to get hammered is still remains very hit and miss with our match officials. Hopefully 2021 will see the handbrake go on when it comes to these illegal tactics.
THAT there is no doubt the All Black coach Ian Foster came under much pressure from both the media and public expectancy over the past couple of weeks since the unexpected 25-15 loss to the Pumas in Sydney. Coming into the return matchup in Newcastle last night the pressure was really on and when one brings the Diego Maradona factor into the frame as far as the Pumas were concerned they brought a lot of attitude to the match and it was never going to be a cakewalk for captain Canes men.
Who despite a 10 nil lead at the break from a Dane Coles converted try and a penalty, the Argentinians never stepped back and were forever in the face of the All Blacks. The relentless attacking pressure that was put on the Pumas which really showed through in the match stats with the number of defensive tackles they had to make. The 175 to the All Blacks 49 really says it all.
Four converted tries after the break certainly rammed their point home none more so than late replacement winger Will Jordan who crossed for two stunners. The hard fought resounding bonus point win would have certainly gagged the vocal critics who had been baying for Foster to be replaced. What so many of these knowalls lose sight of is that there is also the collective group of guys out in the middle that can also go a long way toward winning and losing a game. So back off go and have a cold shower and lets all wait and see how our All Blacks go in 2021…..
++++ You don’t get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it.
THEY SAID IT
“It couldn’t be better scripted for us when we’ve got a team that’s hurt us, we respect them and we know that we’ve got to match fire with fire against them.”
Ian Foster pre-test two against the Pumas.
“The boys were a little bit nervous and tried too hard in the first half, we took a while to settle but fought hard, stayed in the fight and managed to get momentum in the second half. I couldn’t be more proud of this team.”
Magpie captain Ash Dixon admitted after the Mitre10 Championship final.
“We’ve had a great week building into what will be a vital test for us. It’s exciting in the sense that we have the opportunity to redeem ourselves after our last game and we also have the opportunity to win the Tri-Nations”
All Black head coach Ian Foster.
“There’s a real determination in the team to perform well, not only for ourselves but also our families and friends at home and our country.”
Foster continues.
“The loss two weeks ago still hurts, but tonight goes a long way to fixing that. We’ve got to remind ourselves we were playing for a trophy today and we’ll see what happens next week.”
Ian Foster at the conclusion of the Newcastle test.

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy wanted to be an accountant, so he went and took the Irish accountancy exam.
Examiner: “If I give you two rabbits and then I give you another two rabbits, how many rabbits do you have?”
Paddy: “Five.”
Examiner: “No, listen carefully again. If I give you two rabbits and then I give you another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?”
Paddy: “Five.”
Examiner: “Let’s try this another way. If I give you two bottles of beer and then I give you another two bottles of beer, how many bottles of beer have you got?”
Paddy: “Four.”
Examiner: “Good! Now, if I give you two rabbits and then I give you another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?”
Paddy: “Five.”
Examiner: “How on earth do you work out that two lots of two rabbits is five?”
Paddy: “I’ve already got one rabbit at home!”
Three lads from Dublin were getting paid to take part in a survey about tea drinking. One of the questions was ‘How do you stir sugar into your tea?’
‘I stir it in with my left hand’, replied Mick. ‘I stir it in with my right’, replied Shaun.
‘I stir it in with a spoon’, replied Paddy.
An English lawyer was sat with his Irish client. ‘Marty’ he sighed, ‘Why is it that whenever you ask an Irishman a question, he replies with another question?’
‘Bollocks. Who told you that?’ asked Marty.
