TBC are piling on the points.

Did they open up a new scholarship programme this year?

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?

Auckland Grammar 10 - 13 Dilworth

whoa!

[mimic]

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.

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.

Because they have the team lists at the start. No need to watch the rest.

AGS didn't like losing either.

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

[JK]

Westlake 80 - 0 TGS

Ouch

[African Monkey]

@Bovidae Typical Grammar.

Ouch

Obviously hurting from that previous loss...

[Tim]

@JK One of the Mayhew boys (Richard?) is coaching them now.

[JK]

@Mr-Fish Kinda. But TGS just suck. They have a very young and small squad that includes a number of year 10 and 11 kids
