Cambridge High School 3-20 Hamilton v Hamilton Boys High School Black (Tricolor Trophy)
This is the 3rd XV, which highlights the disparity in Waikato school rugby.

Not really the Third XV if I understand correctly.
HBHS field a firsts who play Super8. Their seconds for that are those they are grooming for firsts -- younger kids mostly.
The "thirds" are older students who aren't really in line for 1sts, or don't want the travel etc. They are very experienced and big, if a trifle unfit.
I'm pretty sure I've seen boys in that team with caps. They're much more like their second best team.
I'm happy to be corrected.
Given that HBHS is quite possibly the best school team on the planet over the long term, I'd expect their second teams to be quite good.
Also, aren't Cambridge fairly rubbish now, after a few years of being good?
There IS a huge gap, because HBHS is bigger than all the surrounding schools (by far), then strips all the best boys out of the whole region. But not quite that big.

Got a couple of guys in our Te Rapa A team from one of last years HBHS Third XV's. Damn good players. Have been nominated but will probably miss out on Waikato Under 19's. Tall and lanky, need more weight. The only Div 1 player to make Waikato Under 19's last year was told to move to tech from Suburbs so probably a good thing.
One thing I have heard which is stupid is that Fraser High is getting no help from Fraser Tech in regards to a pathway. Fraser High coach has wanted to put an Under 19 team in at the annual U19 ten aside tournament at Leamington and got no help. Our halfback who played under him said he is keen to get those fraser high kids in a Te Rapa team this year so I said go for it.
I think like every other prem club Fraser goes shopping at HBHS and then St Pauls and St Peters for their future prem players.

Yes, mainly year 13 students. They'll play the colts in a few weeks so that will give an indication of the relative strengths of both teams.

Their best years were when the Jacobson brothers were there. St Peters has usually been stronger.

Several school games are livestreamed for, I think, $5 per live game (and 7 days access to the selected school's games on demand). Haven't tried it, so I don't know what the quality of the streams is like.

Posted on the magpies schools post by accident the other day and then again today but here it is....
@jk said in Schoolboy Rugby:
Huge game in the North Harbour schools comp this weekend with Takapuna Grammer hosting Westlake.
Both teams unbeaten sitting locked on 54 points each on the standings with the 3rd place team back on 33 points.
They met earlier in the season and had a 27 - 27 draw. Hopefully a cracking game. May be the case of who turns up best after a 3 week break for school holidays
So game was today and Westlake won a tough but really good game of rugby 21-16. Think was 13-6 half time to Westlake and got to 13-11 before Westlake scored an unconverted try and then snapped a nice drop goal to push it out of the converted try range. Very smart. Taka got a late try to narrow the gap but Westlake regained ball from kickoff and closed out the game.

Polson Banner game
@stockcar86 That's a very convincing win! I just watched the first half and Napier Boys are looking good. Those Thompson brothers look promising; Teddy too.
With Hamilton probably the favourites to win the Super 8, it will be interesting who out of Napier and Hastings will make the final.

The Moascar Cup is the oldest, most prestigious and storied trophy in NZ 1st XV rugby, and dates back to the end of World War One. The Cup is played for under a challenge system, not unlike the Ranfurly Shield.
On Saturday, Nelson College – defenders of the Cup for over 2 years and 16 matches – relinquished their hold when defeated by Christchurch Boys High School. It was an amazing tenure, and one worth recapping.

Moascar Cup oldest, really? Polson Banner between NBHS and PNBHS started back in 1904
