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

Wow, what a game. High quality stuff!
Hamilton Boys again initially dominated the 2nd half (about 20 mins), coming back to 17 all. Then Napier found back it's momentum and scored a try, but in the last seconds of the game, Hamilton got a penalty in front of the sticks, which led to a 3-pointer.
Hamilton has won the Super 8 final, but scored fewer tries (3 to 4). If the Napier kicker had converted more tries, Napier would have taken it. Both teams were evenly matched and both deserved to win.
FT: Hamilton Boys 23 - 22 Napier Boys
Congrats to Hamilton!

That was a game with plenty of twists and turns. As I have said previously, Napier is a very good team, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them as the Canes rep in the Top 4, and even potential winners. I recorded the game so will watch a replay at some stage. It was a great day for rugby and there was a decent crowd to watch.

Well done to St Peters College!!!!! Massive upset over St Kents we've had their measure over the years first final for us since the year 2000! Bring it home boys!!!

@african-monkey good to see some different teams in the Auckland final this year.
@kiwimurph Yeah someone's drought is about to be broken with St Peter's last win coming in 2000 and Kings in 2005.

St Paul's Collegiate beat Wesley 41-27 in one of the CNI semis. I'll try to go and watch the final next weekend.

@jk Same in Super 8 Final last year, when Hastings and Hamilton shared the title.
Different circumstances. The NH champ plays the Auckland champ to determine the Blues school at the Top 4. The Super 8 title had no bearing on the Top 4 qualifiers as the Chiefs and Hurricanes had separate qualifying games.
