@Bovidae said in 2024 School Rugby:
@Nepia The list I posted was from the Warriors website (after a google search). I've no idea what other articles have been published as I don't follow RL that closely anymore. I agree it's a promotion piece.
The player I mentioned who signed for the Titans (Caelys-Paul Putoko) did miss some later Super 8 games last year to play RL although I have no idea who he played for on those weekends. He was still selected for the NZ Schools team though (the starting 12).
That list was posted in the Daily Telegraph too, there seems to be two journos pushing it, a guy I can't remember and a lady named Fatima Kdouh. Kind of embarrassing for Richard Becht to be pushing it as a) a Kiwi and b.) someone who would know that Warriors junior teams have always had kids from rugby schools.
TBH, the hyping of league and attacking of rugby by the media is actually making me turn off the sport a bit (the Warriors returning to their old form might also be playing a part too).

Richard Becht is also the PR and Comms Manager for the Warriors, so very much had a reason for pushing it...

They are a very white team too.
BTW, Hamilton BHS has a new member of the coaching staff focusing on scrums - Sona Taumalolo.

Traitorous bastard, he's now dead to me.
I'll have to check out the TBC complexions when they hammer Hastings Boys - lot of dutch sounding names?

Why on earth would I want to watch that when I know the score? That’s the equivalent of watching the the Crusaders v Tahs when I already know the score.

I heard Auckland Grammar were resting their players with injuries and niggles for the game ahead this week against Kelston.
Still surprised they lost with their 2nd XV though.@mimic said in 2024 School Rugby:

Rosmini first Harbour school to beat Westlake in years.
Hurt to like this! Bit of a surprise thats for sure, particularly given the round 2 encounter was a resounding 41-8 win.
Westlake have an early game this week, 3.30pm tomorrow vs TGS as its TGS school ball on friday night
