SR U18 Development Squads 2025

[Bovidae]

Hopefully the other squads will be released as it gives you an idea of who has been signed/identified from school rugby, and those moving from their region.

Top U18 players from Hurricanes provinces attend Regional Development Camps

149 players.

[Mauss]

So Qaranivalu (prop, Hastings Boys') is named for both the Chiefs and Hurricanes U18 development camps. How does that work then?

Surprised not to see Fletcher Cooper on that list. I know he’s only year 11 but he’s mature beyond his years and is probably Streams best player already. Really looking forward to seeing how he develops.

There’s massive wraps on him in Wellington college rugby and after seeing him win the game against Wel Col on Sky the other week, he looks to have a big future.

The Napier camp has already happened I believe.

Nico Stanley is missing from the Blues squad too.

Fletcher Stirling Cooper (St Patrick’s Silverstream), if rugby doesn't work out he should just start his own Ad agency. All jokes aside he looks like a very promising player.

Not sure how I missed him, good that he's in there. Have you seen much of him? I'm hearing good things but unfortunately I don't follow school boy rugby these days apart from the odd game on Sky.

Blues were asked on social media if he was injured and they just said he was “unavailable this time”. Strange answer

[Bovidae]

Jamie Viljoen has been signed by Taranaki, hence why he was in the Chiefs U18 list.

Did the Crusaders release who attended their U18 camp?
