2019 NZ Schools

@Bovidae The kid is a beast. You don’t see many 17 yr old white kids as big as him. Be interesting to see who starts at 1st five. Ollie Lewis is a great player but I think Aidan Morgan may be better
@chchfanatic Is he bigger than Josh Lord and Sam Darry?
It's hard to know who starts if you aren't familiar with all of the players and their positions. Based on last year's team Segner should be at 7, Kneepkens and Wrampling on the wings, and Murray at fullback. Grindlay will be in the midfield.

I didn't even know they were playing most of the games in Hamilton. Good that they are showing the games on Sep 30 and Oct 4 live on SS1. I'll be on scoreboard duty for the games at HBHS. I hope the weather forecast improves. :astonished_face:

Unless I can't find it the new format on allblacks.com completely omits school rugby news now.

These are the results I have found so far for the game of three halves:
NZ Schools Barbarians 14 - NZ Maori U18 17
NZ Schools 12 - NZ Maori U18 7The interest will be in the result of the last game.

Whoever came up with the idea to let the NZ Schools team play in red and black jerseys against the NZ Schools Barbarians in red jerseys must give himself an uppercut. These jerseys are way too similar. At least the NZ Maori U18 team played in alternate white jerseys when they played NZ Schools.
About the results. I think they were too close to draw any conclusions, esp because we don't know the team line-ups and whether they used rolling subs, or not. The difference between NZ Schools Baabaas v NZ Maori U18 was a penalty goal. In the second game, the difference was one try, but it was the 2nd game for the Maori and the first game of NZ Schools, so the Maori team may have been tiring (sooner). The difference in the 3rd game was a conversion. It's pity they didn't stream these games, but fortunately all the other NZ Schools and NZ Schools Barbarians' games will be televised.
It's a pity the NZ Maori U18 doesn't get to play another game. The Samoan Schools team is touring NSW; it would have been nice if they could have made a stopover in Auckland on the way home for a game v NZ Maori U18.
