2022 School rugby
-
@stargazer pretty sure Michael Robinson in that team is a boy who was in the team I used to coach up here, played 10 (talented cricketer too, which is why he went to that school)
-
There are plenty of pre-season games starting now. I see that Rotorua BHS are playing Auckland GS and De La Salle over the next week. It will be interesting to compare Super 8 vs 1A.

@stargazer said in 2022 School rugby:
@bovidae There were plenty already last week.
My comment was more about the number of pre-season games increasing by the week. Unfortunately, some schools are better at promoting their games, while for others you wouldn't know they are playing.
-
There will be more games, because - as @Bovidae says - some schools don't let anyone know they're playing.
Here's a list for this weekend. If I find more games, I'll add them to this list.

@dolamite said in 2022 School rugby:
Auckland Grammar lost 64-0, is that the biggest loss they’ve ever had?
That was the surprise score I was alluding to above.
I've no idea if that is their biggest loss, but either RBHS are really strong this year, or AGS are weak. Maybe a little of both.

Hamilton BHS and Westlake BHS's traditional preseason games today. First game for Hamilton while I was told that Westlake have played 3 games so far. There looked to be plenty of new faces in the Hamilton BHS team compared to last year, and a few missing. They certainly don't have the biggest forward pack. In fact Westlake BHS were bigger, but Hamilton BHS's speed out wide was the difference.
1st XV: Hamilton BHS 29 - Westlake BHS 5
2nd XV: Hamilton BHS 41 - Westlake BHS 0 -
A few more mid-week preseason results:
Wednesday, 13 April 2022

Liston College v Rosmini College ??Thursday, 14 April 2022
Lindisfarne College 5 - 38 Napier BHS
Hastings BHS 20 - 29 Kelston BHS
Rotorua BHS 31 - 12 De La Salle College -
A couple of scores from today:
Feilding AHS 24 - 14 St Patrick's College Silverstream
Matamata College 19 - 12 Whanganui Collegiate :astonished_face: @Yeetyaah@bovidae Feilding must have a really good squad this year. They've already beaten Hastings Boys, New Plymouth Boys and now St Pat's Silverstream. I know it's only preseason and not all squads are complete yet (Hastings Boys is still missing key players), but still quite impressive.

@stargazer And I don't think that Vernon Bason has played in all of their games either, certainly not the earlier games. I might go and watch FAHS when they play a CNI game in Hamilton. (Edit: vs St Paul's on June 25 might be the one).
