Geez, can you guys start a privacy laws thread somewhere in "Off Topic", please?

Or just look at the schools' facebook/instagram pages. They usually post their 1st XV squads at the beginning of the season. And many of them also their match day line-ups.

@Stargazer St Peters making a mockery of Kings, who arguably have the best player in the country. Is this a sign of things to come for both teams?

[Stargazer]

As I said in my previous post, there are quite a few mid-week games, this week, due to the Queen's Birthday weekend. These are the games that I've found; there may be more.

@Stargazer not alot to get excited about. Maybe the Marlborough V Nelson or St Pats V NP Boys. I expect Nelson to get up comfortably but might take awhile to break down Marlborough. Stream could continue to cement their place as Wellingtons only hope. NP Boys will come out firing after losing in 2021

[Stargazer]

@Left-Right-Out-0 I would have liked to see Hamilton Boys take on AGS, because I haven't seen anything of Hamilton Boys' yet, this year.

I think St Pat's Silverstream v NP will be interesting and I will watch Lindisfarne v Hastings Boys because they're Hawke's Bay schools and I'm trying to look at the bigger picture, but the outcome is very predictable.

@Stargazer give Lindisfarne my best wishes but theyre in for a long day. Silverstream had last weekend off so should be fresh and seemingly healthy.

I'll be at this game, and hopefully the weather doesn't affect the quality of the game.

Unlike many other schools, Hamilton BHS doesn't play many pre-season games. Unless there was an earlier game I wasn't aware of, this will only be their third game this season.

@Bovidae the AGS 10 used to play with TR Jnr, he played a few games last year while he was still 15, certainly has promise!

[KiwiMurph]

Auckland Grammar have played 3 and lost 2 in the Auckland comp so far this year so will be up against it vs HBHS.

[Bovidae]

I will be interested to see if Payton Spencer is playing tomorrow. He didn't play in the games against Westlake and MAGS.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph think they struggled last year too IIRC

[Left Right Out 0]

@Bovidae has he been injured?

I think so. He plays 1st XI cricket too, so might have had a niggle.

[Stargazer]

I've added a few livestreams to the list of mid-week games that I posted, yesterday.

[Can I Play too]

Silverstream 2XV 38 - 28 Hato Paora 1XV

[Bovidae]

Payton Spencer was playing at fullback for Hamilton BHS against Auckland Grammar, and was the equal best player in the game along with Hamilton BHS no.7 Oli Mathis. Spencer regularly injected himself into the backline to provide the final pass for his wingers, while scoring at least one try himself using his speed to take a gap and beat defenders. Mathis is very quick for an openside and skinned a number of AGS players to score a few tries himself. HBHS played behind a strong wind in the 1st half and led 31-0 at the break.

Hamilton BHS 55 - 0 Auckland Grammar School

@taniwharugby The starting AGS 1st 5 was replaced at HT, so not sure if your son's former teammate was 10 or 20.

As this scoreline and other games they have played so far suggest, AGS aren't very strong this year. I'm not sure if this was their best XV with 1A games either side of this midweek fixture.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae no idea, didnt see a teamsheet.

His name is Monty Parkinson, usually a strong defensive player for a 10.

Both players were quite small. I haven't seen a AGS team list either. All I can tell you is that the starter had dark hair and the reserve was blonde-headed.

This link has some videos of the game.

@Bovidae Monty is blond haired, yeah not big, but is usually a strong defender (although tough in a thumping...)
