If anyone cares I'm also here at World Schools with Papakura High School. We aren't a "rugby school" but we were invited through some connections. We're competing in an open comp which has 2 invititational teams and Paul Roos 2nd XV.
We were also out supporting the other 2 Auckland teams and both made their games look easy, Kelston are very good.

WBHS won that festival last year too I think?
They did.
I watched the Kelston game. Really like Aio Keith's game, just into everything, with the added benefit of polished lineout work. Baleinaikasakasa looks a real handful in the carry as well. Scrummaging might need a little work, though.

I wonder why Xavier Leota from Kelston was playing in the Global 7s on the weekend and not for Kelston at the World Schools?
Yeah, I noticed that too. Leota is very mobile but I doubt many hookers were playing in the Global 7s.

Not a rugby school, he says. For your second try in the game against RTA, your backline executes a beautiful midfield switch, your loosehead throws a perfect 10-metre cut-out pass, and to top it off, you have a conversion-kicking hooker. Reads like a rugby school to me!
Congrats on the victory, awesome to see the joy of the players at the end of the game.
