@Tim Yeah, I've posted those fixtures yesterday.

Hamilton BHS ended up beating Saga Technical High School 24-14 (HT: 5-14) but looked very rusty. It looked liked a lot of the starters came on at HT.

[Stargazer]

Manukura represents NZ schools at the Sanix Tournament in the girls' sevens tournament.

Yesterday's results:

Monday 1 May 2023
Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament
Jianguo High School 3 - 76 Hamilton BHS
Brooksby Melton College 14 - 29 Napier BHS

There's at least one game, tomorrow:

Tuesday 2 May 2023
New Plymouth BHS v Auckland Grammar School - 12.15pm (sports exchange)

[Bovidae]

Today's other results from the Sanix tournament were:

Kyoto Seisho High School (Kyoto) 10 - 24 Keio High School (Kanagawa)
Hotoku Gakuen High School (Hyogo) 17 - 36 Saga Technical High School (Saga)
Higashi Fukuoka High School (Fukuoka) 17 - 12 Tenri High School (Nara)
Seoul National University High School (South Korea) 0 - 51 Downlands College (Australia)

As this is another tournament with only 3 pools the best 2nd-placed team will make the SF. We'll find out who that is when the SF draw is announced.

I watched the Hamilton BHS game. Jianguo High School is the weakest team in the pool so most of the regular starters were on the bench until late in the 2nd half. 29-3 at HT. At least it wasn't raining today.

I've only seen the Hamilton HBS games but have noticed that all players in the Japanese schools and the Chinese Taipei team wore headgear. That must be mandatory.

[Bovidae]

Hamilton BHS and Napier BHS have been drawn to play each other in one of the Sanix SFs tomorrow (4:40 pm NZT). The other SF is between Saga Technical High School and Higashi Fukuoka High School. The rules say that the SF draw is decided by a lottery and you can't play a team from your own Pool (Hamilton BHS and Saga were both in Pool B). 30 min halves now.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae It's a pity Hamilton Boys' and Napier Boys' won't play the Final. I guess Napier Boys' will have to play for bronze then.

[Stargazer]
