2024 School Rugby

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.

@Frank probably thier 3rd 15 and thier u14 team too...that's the gist I get from Social media anyway.
Seriously though, good work by the Kiwi teams.

What are the rankings of Kelston and Paul Roos within NZ and South Africa?
Is Kelston NZ's best school?
Is Paul Roos SA's best school?@Frank said in 2024 School Rugby:

Kelston BHS made the Top 4 as the Blues representative but lost their SF to Nelson College and the 3rd/4th game to Feilding HS. So 4th based on those results. Westlake BHS would be in the 6th-10th range.
