2023 School Rugby

I'm not surprised at the score Westlake put on Manurewa. Something is seriously wrong with Manurewa this year (including defaults) as they have had a good competitive team in recent years.

I assume this has been asked before, but why are Manurewa in the Harbour comp, I thought the school was in South Auckland?

@Nepia
In previous years Manurewa were very dominant in the Counties Secondary School competition with Wesley College away playing in the CNI. In an attempt to find better competition, I believe they tried to join the Auckland Secondary Schools but were denied entry. They then joined the North Harbour competition (along with Whangarei BHS).
They have for reasons unknown not performed this season. -

I know WBHS have a reasonably small side this year, although many year 12's so next year should be stronger.

@Bovidae the team is full of year 11’s, all the year 13’s decided to play league this year. I’m picking you’ll see much improved results over the next 2 years
@Dolamite Yeah, I'd heard that many played RL but I didn't realise it was a mass exodus.
I understand that St Paul's College have done the opposite as their coaches thought it was better for their players to develop via rugby in the 1A than schoolboy RL.

Are schools starting to play games for Top 4 yet? Pukekohe High are playing Wesley on the 15th of July. Manurewa wouldn't have been considered this year and the best team in the actual Counties competition is a combined team, Onewhero/Tuakau.

5th August: 1st XV Super 8 Final
12th – 26th August: Chiefs Cup
31st August – 3rd September: Top 4, Palmerston NorthThe Chiefs Cup will eventually be SFs for the four top teams from each province after they have played their regional qualifying games. The CNI finishes later than the Super 8 so Wesley wouldn't have too many free Saturdays to play other C-M schools after they finished.
