Napier can afford to draw their final game at the Ross Shield rugby tournament in Hastings today and still collect the trophy.
But don't mention the draw word to co-coach Paul Teddy.
"We want to take the title outright," Teddy said after Napier's 80-0 drubbing of Central at Lindisfarne College yesterday.
Head coach Clint Chamberlain named winger Dante Kururangi as his player of the day. Others to feature on his MVP list were openside flanker John Teddy and blindside flanker Eli Rore who, like centre Jayden Stok, grabbed a hattrick.
The Central team's never-say-die approach was commendable. Napier will meet Hastings West in their final game today at the Heinz-Wattie's-Hastings Pak 'N Save-sponsored event and it will be a surprise if they don't win by 15 points at least. Napier have scored 241 points while conceding 15 in four games while West have scored 133 while conceding 34.
