2023 School Rugby

[Tim]

@Bovidae They need to return back where they belong.

Seems kind of ridiculous to have such a large distance between teams. Weird for club connections too.

[Bovidae]

@Tim Auckland school teams wouldn't know what an away game was. In theory it was to strengthen the competition as Wesley is in the CNI.

Speaking of the CNI and distance. Paerata to Masterton is what you call a long way.

The Counties comp would be way stronger if the big schools came back. Even if they had a combined comp with Waikato. Even without HBHS but with CNI schools it would be the same level as the current CNI with less travel.

• Tauranga BC ? v ? Matamata College

Matamata College played Pukekohe HS Dev on Friday night so this game wouldn't have happened.

@Stargazer said in 2023 School Rugby:

Wellington College v Napier BHS - CANCELLED

Anyone know why?

[Higgins]

@maxwell Napier only arrived back from competing in the Sannix World Schools Tournament up in Japan (something like five games over 7 days) only a few days beforehand and clearly the tiredness factors involved were too much.
Think the best part of thirty players went on the trip so fielding even their 2nd XV (Wellington College's lack of competitiveness graphically exposed in their earlier Tranzit Series outing against Hastings where they got pummelled by over sixty) was not an option either.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Yes, it was a sensible decision, considering Napier BHS will play two early Super 8 games next weekend and the following weekend.

It was an Under 19 team from Counties. Every Friday night Counties host a game for any Under 19 players that want a game, this team was made up from those players.

@mikedogz

I based my comment on this:

[Bovidae]

Not enough Barrett's.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae They actually left out one Barrett brother, admittedly the least talented. I guess Blake Barrett wasn't good enough to push for the 20 jersey.

Livestream Gisborne BHS v Napier BHS

[Bovidae]

Weather permitting I am looking to go to the St John's vs FDMC game.

There are a couple of tasty CNI games in the next month, which should be a good watch (if there isn't a clash with the Super 8 home games).
