@Kiwiwomble Some of those schools are overrepresented, because of poaching.

What would be interesting would be to see those numbers, but based on where they started at Year 9.
A few schools would barely change, and some would have barely any if you excluded their late poaches.

Interesting to see that several schools are going overseas preseason or mid-season. Francis Douglas MC is in Melbourne at the moment and will play several games in Australia. On Monday, they beat Melton Secondary College 62 - 10. They're playing Brighton Grammar later today.
Rotorua Boys are fundraising for a tour to Argentina, and St John's (Hastings) are also fundraising for a trip to Australia.
I assume there may be a few more teams doing the same.

Takapuna Grammar are another, heading to Australia.
Speaking of Australia, FDMC won their latest tour game 50-0.
