2022 School rugby

[Bovidae]

The St Peter's halfback looks a good prospect.

[antipodean]

@Bovidae the type of player at that level the coach makes halfback so he can get the maximum amount of involvement.

Also, some terrible defending in that video.

That's a surprise result.

Kelston lost a lot of players from last year i assume?

All teams will have lost plenty of players. The pre-season results have been all over the place.

For context, St John's are usually the 3rd rated of the Waikato CNI schools (behind St Paul's and St Peter's) but have attracted some named coaches. They could be on the rise again.

WBHS went down to St Kents 5-32, after trailing 5-10 at halftime.

WBHS apparently had a number of starters out, so not a bad effort by all accounts.

Hard to know how much to read into preseason. Combinations and game plans still coming together. Looking forward to the 1A comp this year after seeing some of these scores. Wellington comp looks to slowly be making a comeback, or maybe its just Scots and Stream

Sun 1 May 2022
Feilding HS 33 - 0 Gisborne BHS

I couldn't find the results of:

• Auckland Grammar v Tauranga BC
• Scots College v Rongotai College

[Stargazer]

I've said it before, but Feilding HS has been really impressive during preseason. They've beaten a few Super 8 schools (Hastings BHS, NPBHS and GBHS) and St Pat's Silverstream. Finished 6th in the CNI comp, last year. Although preseason results don't give a reliable picture of the differences in strength between teams, I can see FAHS having a better 2022 season.

AGS won this game.

Apparently Westlake have also beaten Kelston.

@Stargazer scots beat RC by 35ish

Fielding definately looking good. Watched them play WC and St Pats Stream. Some big lads in that Fielding team.

Rongotai have some handy players. Expect them to push the top 4 teams this year.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer FAHS always enters the Co-Ed competition for the Top 4, so are usually guaranteed to come out of the Hurricanes region. It would be interesting if they committed to the boys competition so they play some of the stronger schools at the end of the season.
