@SouthernMann I liked the 8 for SBHS, tall, rangy good pace and balance, I think one of the Muliaina's was at 10? He looked handy too, as did the FB who has a good kick on him.
Yeah I was impressed by the 8 too. Not huge but may still grow. Decent workrate!

Good yarn here on the SBHS triumph.

Since there doesn't seem to be a relationship (anymore) between regional U18 camps and NZ Schools selection, I'm now posting this here.
Earlier, the players for the Crusaders U18 camp had already been announced:

This is the list of players invited to attend the Hurricanes U18 Development Camp.
At the conclusion of the camp the playing group will travel to Blenheim on October 7 to play the Crusaders Under-18s.

An article about SBHS, but also their pathway via the Highlanders.
Their no.8 was mentioned earlier. He's only recently moved from the backs into the forwards.

The thing with Rutledge and the young 8, Shaw is the number of openside flankers and loosies in the Highlanders region. Hayden Michaels, Sean Withy, Oli Haig, Will Stodart and Nikora Broughton. All under 22 and under. Then you have the young Holland coming through as a lock/flanker too. So plenty of options. I just hope we keep the right ones. The young winger who is off on a missions seems like a good prospect. Hopefully he comes back!

Coaches for the week are drawn from throughout the Highlanders region including Scott Eade (Southland), Josh Phipps (North Otago) and Regan Turoa (Otago) and will be supported by a strength and conditioning trainer, nutritionist, mental skills trainer and analysts. The 5-day camp culminates with an internal game where the on-field skills and learnings from the camp will be able to be applied in a game setting.
