Pick Your (or any) High Schools' All-Time Greatest XV

@shark who’s out of position. Brodie was a prop at high school as they had another good hooker and crotty played 10 at high school. Everyone else in normal positions. Setaimata sa was a gun number 8 at school. Only missed nz schools because he’d already signed with the roosters.

@Allstar didn’t Jerry attend St Pats Town?

CBHS, without delving into any archives:

15 C Slade / W Jordan
14 S Hamilton
11 D Gibson
13 A Leinert-Brown / N Mauger
12 A Mauger
10 D Carter / A Mehrtens
9 Scott Hansen
8 N Manu
7 M Todd
6 A Thompson
5 L Romano
4 B Retallick
3 O Franks
2 A Dixon
1 B Franks / D Hewett / R Loe

Fergie McCormack could be the fullback in this side, and Bob Deans could play 13. Tony Steel could be one of the wingers. Helluva backline.

Pat Vincent at halfback.

@Canes4life he did eventually, after his old man took him out of Tawa and sent him into St Pats. He was a bit of a loose cannon apparently (you'd never believe it eh) His sister Brenda went righ through Tawa.

Sure, but Crotty didn't make his name as a 10, nor McAlistair as a prop. It's all fun and games but I would have thought there might have been better options at both spots whilst keeping those guys in position.

Who would've guessed that Alex Ainley was born in Auckland and attended Rangitoto College.

@Tim Yeah that threw me too. I assumed Nelson born and bred, and most likely from a non-rugby school like Waimea College.

he's in charge of the after-match

Kelleher half-back half-forward. The guy really likes both groups equally.
