2023 NZ Schools
-
Mosese Bason is the younger brother of last year's captain - Vernon Bason. Putoko and Pledger are back from the 2022 team. Jai Tamati is relegated to the Barbarians. There are others in both the Barbarians U18s and Māori U18s from the 2022 NZ Schools squad too.

Frustrating that Hawke's Bay's best player this season hasn't been named in any of the squads.
Angus Prouting should have been on the NZ Schools list, or at least the Barbarians U18 list. -

@Stargazer I couldn't even tell you who the locks are in the NZ Schools team. I am assuming Holland is one?

The younger brother of Fabian Holland makes the cut in the NZ Schools team.
Only one from the victorious Southland Boys side.
@SouthernMann kiseki fifita"s had two sisters make the nz schools netball team

@Chris Related to Nick Frost? If so, then there's a risk we're going to lose him to Oz, too.

I don't think he is related.
