2023 School Rugby
-
Wesley beat St John's Hastings by lots, as expected, so will be travelling to St John's Hamilton for the semi-final. A tough call, given the amount of travelling they have done recently. But they did win the head-to-head.
St Paul's only coming sixth won't go down well at the school!
@Chester-Draws The CNI play the final in Taupō, so not really a home field advantage.

@Chester-Draws Yeah, it was 15 - 62 to Wesley College.

They play the final in Taupo, but not the semis.

Hamilton BHS is meant to play St John's to decide the Waikato Chiefs Top 4 team. This will have to be a midweek game due to the CNI schedule.

It is Wednesday at 2:00.
Oddly, it is at St John's. Although a worse track, it has much better viewing.

They played this game at HBHS last year so that would make sense. I see St John's choked in the CNI final again.

As far as I know, it has always been played at HBHS.
I'm not sure that St John's "choked" this year. Last year, sure, when they won all the round robin, but they only just squeezed into first place this year, and a bounce of the ball vs St Paul's and they would have been below Fielding.

For fairness I think they now try to alternate who plays at home. That is certainly the situation for the Super 8 teams, i.e., whichever team played at home during the season plays away if they meet again. I do remember watching St John's and Hamilton BHS play at St John's a few years back, but that might have been a game early in the season.
Hamilton BHS has had so few home games this year anyway. Three in the Super 8 and then the SF and final, so only five in total.
I'm not sure that St John's "choked" this year.
I went to the St John's-Feilding game, and they won reasonably convincingly.
