2023 School Rugby

[Bovidae]

I went along to watch the CNI match between St Paul's and Wesley. It was a game in which the lead changed three times and St Paul's ended up winning 16-12 despite only scoring one try to Wesley's two. Wesley have some big, athletic players but were guilty of trying to run over the opposition instead of between them too often, and also paid for some ill-discipline when on attack. St Paul's finally took the lead from a 50 m penalty from their captain and 1st 5 (Michael Robinson). He later added another long-range penalty. I heard a parent say he is from Whangarei.

I'll be interested to see how many of these players make the Chiefs U18s.

This was in their match programme.

@Bovidae Do you know whether Rotorua's centre Malakai Cama is related to Tomasi Cama? He made a good impression in a losing side, today.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer No idea. RBHS always have a lot of Fijians in their squad, as well as a few that play RL too.

@Stargazer said in 2023 School Rugby:

• Auckland Grammar School 0 - 48 Hamilton BHS

0-31 at HT in this game. Hamilton BHS played with the wind in the 1st half. A few of the regular starters were on the bench. AGS only had a couple of potential try-scoring opportunities in the game.

A returning School back into the rugby scene in the future. Year 9 and 10 enrolments only so a wee while till we know their potential.

St Peter's College vs St Bede's College will be played today. There were a group of St Bede's students watching the game at AGS yesterday.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae It was hard to find, but kick-off is at 2.30pm.

[Stargazer]

[Higgins]

Ah, so they are again coming up north on scouting/recruiting missions like they reputedly did years ago when they routinely pinched a lot of players out of Hawkes Bay. Interesting to note there were no representatives from Zero Fees Southland Polytech nor Otago University named as being present so they are not even hiding behind that these days.
