Hawke's Bay Magpies Soar to NPC Semi-Finals: A Dominant Performance (2025)

Hold onto your hats, rugby fans, because the Hawke’s Bay Magpies have stormed into the Bunnings Warehouse NPC semi-finals in style! But here’s where it gets exciting: their 26-12 victory over the Taranaki Bulls wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. With a commanding four-tries-to-none performance, the Magpies left no doubt about their championship aspirations. And this is the part most people miss: the game wasn’t just about the score; it was a perfect blend of skill, strategy, and sheer determination, all fueled by a roaring home crowd on a balmy Napier night. Temperatures soared above 20°C, but it was the Magpies’ on-field heat that truly set the stage ablaze. Controversial take? While some might argue the gusty wind from the embankment end could’ve been a game-changer, the Magpies proved they could dominate regardless of the conditions. Now, here’s the question for you: Do the Magpies have what it takes to go all the way, or will the semi-finals prove to be their toughest test yet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—we’re all ears!
