Palmy looks like the team to beat this year and the good guys won the game that mattered the most this weekend
TBC is probably still the team to beat and Palmy plays them away.

Typical cheating Ta$man
(this happened in the 90s FFS)

what age are the kids though? I stayed at school after 7th form to play Rugby & Golf for the school, but was still only 17 for half the year.

The 14th Year: When schoolboy rugby stops being schoolboy rugby
In light of the controversy in Marlborough, Israel Dagg reflects on the pressures of 1st XV and if winning has become more important than student wellbeing.

Some midweek games:
Wellington College 15-16 St Pat’s Silverstream
This game was played in heavy rain with a field that reminded me of 1970s and 1980s rugby in the wet. A very good DG to win it in those conditions.
Southland BHS 43-12 Otago BHS
Palmerston North BHS 38-20 New Plymouth BHS

@Bovidae that drop kick was outstanding given the conditions although I did wonder what some of the chasers from WC were doing they appeared to hesitate and ended up watching .
-
@Steven-Harris Yeah, you see him actually take a step back to use firmer ground. The commentators said he is only a Y11. If the WC 1st 5 hadn't hit the post with the easy conversion the result could have been different.

Interestingly the winger who scored three tries for SBHS is in the Warriors system.

Yeah the kid is a real prospect, was in the NZ u15s for basketball last year and looks to be concentrating on rugby now. Don't want to put too much pressure on the lad but he's big, skillful, kicks off both feet in general play well and as the droppie showed he has a decent temperament, certainly a player to keep an eye on.
The No. 8 for Silvesrtream is also on the Warriors books, he played well in this match.

Super 8
Hamilton BHS 28-34 Rotorua BHS - Rotorua now has the Moascar Cup
Hastings BHS 50-12 Gisborne BHS
Tauranga BC 31-24 Napier BHSHamilton BHS did not play very well. Too many mistakes, and they have been missing their captain due to injury in recent games. A big loss.

More controversy.
If you can't graduate secondary school in 5 years, you shouldn't be playing rugby or any sport.
I know that we had a bit of it back in the day, but it's been institutionalised now and used by fuckwits like this guy in Ta$man to get ahead.

Sweet, could be coming our way on Thursday then.
No. It's like the Ranfurly Shield, only for home games.
