2023 School Rugby

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.

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).

Late result from Wednesday 17 May 2023

Sports exchange
Westlake BHS 34 - 12 Tauranga BC

Stargazer

The World Schools Festival will be held from 12 to 17 December 2023. They'll add more competitions to the Cup competition, but no further explanation yet, than this:

We are planning to go bigger and even better in 2023 and adding 3 new 8 team competition categories for U18s men and women to compete. These new competitions will be added to the WSF week, alongside the Cup competition, and ensure more opportunities for schools and teams to participate

Bovidae

They have already announced some participating teams - Cardiff and Vale, and Hartpury College (Eng).

The CNI results aren't the official results (not published yet).

Higgins

@Stargazer That Feilding result looks to be a bit of a surprise considering Feilding had been going good in their pre-season games.

Stargazer

@Higgins Ha, that's because I wrote it down wrong! Thanks for noticing. Correcting it now!

Bovidae

An improvement by St Paul's College as I expected Sacred Heart to win by 50+. The St Paul's team is full of RL players.

mimic

Liston with the HUUUUGGGEEEE upset over Kelston.

I thought it was an error in publishing the result. 9-55 sounds a lot more likely than 9-5
Struggling to think of a bigger upset in Auckland 1A history?

Livestream:

Bovidae

Not that I ever used it, but I understand that the Sideline crew won't be covering games either. So apart from the Super 8 games there won't be any livestreams of games unless the schools themselves do it.

Stargazer

@Bovidae Yeah, the last good year of sideline live was 2020. Then they changed ownership and the quality went down. Last year, I had to ask my money back (which they fortunately did) because they announced games and then didn't stream them. Or the stream didn't work and they moved the game to Facebook (for free). Totally unreliable. I think schools just weren't interested in using them anymore.

This is a YouTube channel where sometimes games are streamed without any commentary.
