2020 School Rugby

@Stargazer The Ta$man of Hawkes Bay, Lindersfarne, should walk that comp, they're not really a Heartland or non-traditional rugby school like the others seem to be.
@Nepia Yeah, I have the impression that all schools in the Hurricanes region are eligible that don't play Super 8 or Wellington Premiership. And then, the provinces need to be represented, too. I guess the HBRU could have nominated Te Aute instead, but maybe they weren't available for some reason. Or Lindisfarne is one of those "Wild-Card" entries. Your guess is as good as mine!
Edited to add that I hope Hastings Girls smash St Mary's. Last year, HGHS ended up in the SF against Manukura (and lost); this year, they could reach the final.

@Stargazer Yeah, I have no idea how the comp works and all good for them to be getting some games in (is the CNI canned this year?), I was just taking an opportunity to get a dig in at both Lindersfarne and @Chris-B in one go.

@Stargazer I'm off to watch St Marys (my whangai's daughters play for them) play Wainuiomata up at Wainui very shortly so will give you and idea how they are going. I have watched the smash all Wgtn opposition in earlier games but they have often been only ten or twelve aside as their opponents struggle to muster 15 players.

@Higgins I read somewhere that the Hawke's Bay Girls' competition is also 10-a-side, this year.
@Stargazer Is was a drizzly sort of start to the game which was played 12 aside. The drizzle had thankfully gone by half time but it certainly had a big effect with numerous spilled passes in what was a fairly physical, but penalty dominated, sort of game. Each team had long periods of continuous possession but you always had the impression the the visiting St. Marys were the better side, if not by all that much. They had a slightly more confrontational pack with the loosehead prop and number 8 to the fore there. The final score was something like St. Marys 22 - 19 Wainuiomata 4 tries to 3. To say this was a vintage St. Marys performance would be the understatement of the year. They are miles away from the side that won the NZ Schoolgirls title in 2018 but this was their first hitout against a team that actually offered much of a challenge so would be a good wakeup call for them. Still remains to be seen what the standard of the other decent teams like Manukura and Fielding Ag are. Until then no real comparison of the hopes of Hurricanes Region schoolgirls teams chances of success can't really be made with any sort of certainty.

Hamilton BHS won 37-0.
Speaking to one of the Sky guys the OBU trucks had to drive up from Wellington while staff came from Welly, Hawke's Bay and even Chch.
Angus Ta'avao was the co-commentator so he can't be in the Auckland bubble.

@Bovidae Yep, and to a charging Goon HS side. They're doing what Burnside and to a lesser extent Aranui HS threatened to do in years gone by and really shaking things up amongst the traditional, largely boy's only schools. If there is a national co-ed tourney this year, they'll clean up.

The CNI semi-finalists will only be decided after the final round this coming Sat.
In the North, the winner of the St Peter's vs Wesley game should join St Paul's, assuming they beat the winless FDMC away.
In the South, the winner of Whanganui Collegiate vs Feilding High School will finish 1st and the loser 2nd. All playoff games are to be played in Taupo.
