2023 School Rugby

Manurewa might be focusing on defending their League title they won last year.

[Bovidae]

In the CNI, Wesley can still sneak into the SFs if they win their postponed game against St John's Hastings. It sounds like they had a dose of home-town refereeing against FDMC.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae St John's Hastings is a really weak team (even more so this year), so Wesley will win that game easily.

There's conflicting info, but I think that game will be played on Wednesday in Hastings.

[Bovidae]

I'm also not sure what the tie-breaker is, wins or PD. Wesley and St Peter's drew so it won't be who beat who.

[Dolamite]

@Bovidae 1. Head to Head
2. Points Difference
3. Points Scored
4. Ballot

[Chester Draws]

Wesley beat St John's Hastings by lots, as expected, so will be travelling to St John's Hamilton for the semi-final. A tough call, given the amount of travelling they have done recently. But they did win the head-to-head.

St Paul's only coming sixth won't go down well at the school!

[Bovidae]

@Chester-Draws The CNI play the final in Taupō, so not really a home field advantage.

[Stargazer]

@Chester-Draws Yeah, it was 15 - 62 to Wesley College.

[Bovidae]

St John's vs Wesley will be a good game, as both have similar strengths with some big, physical ball-carriers.

[Chester Draws]

They play the final in Taupo, but not the semis.

[Bovidae]

The Super 8 2nd XV final played today was also live streamed.

[Bovidae]

Hamilton BHS is meant to play St John's to decide the Waikato Chiefs Top 4 team. This will have to be a midweek game due to the CNI schedule.

[mikedogz]

Best of the rest in the Waikato.

Cambridge High School win Waikato Secondary School Girls 1st XV Final

In what was a special occasion at Cambridge High School Wednesday evening, the home side been crowned Secondary School...

I think the Chiefs Manawa final is this weekend.

[Bovidae]

@mikedogz said in 2023 School Rugby:

I think the Chiefs Manawa final is this weekend.

Tomorrow afternoon.

I saw that article, and assume CHS played the HGHS 2nd XV or a lower team?

[mikedogz]

Yeah 2nd XV. Looking at the points table, Cambridge were undefeated. They may end up in the Manawa competition next year. No Women's club team in Cambridge so that could be an area of growth. HGHS won the U15 10 aside comp.
