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.

AGS didn't like losing either.

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

[JK]

Westlake 80 - 0 TGS

Ouch

@Bovidae Typical Grammar.

Obviously hurting from that previous loss...

@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

Oh when did he get involved? I thought Che and Rob Mildenhall were still doing it, plus Luke McAllister had joined this year.

Super 8
Hamilton BHS 18 - 20 Tauranga BC

This game summed up HBHS's season so far. They scored 3 tries to 2 but missed 4 of the 5 shots at goal, including having a conversion charged down from a late try and then missing a kickable penalty with time up. Three different goal kickers have been used throughout the season.

It's also the end of an era as this was coach Nigel Hotham's last game in charge before he heads to Hong Kong. Nigel has been the 1st XV coach since 2003.

@JK Mayhew is coaching Rosmini.

Hamilton GHS won the Chiefs Manawa competition.

Chiefs region Girls rugby results

• Kaokaoroa won the Waikato Girls U15's

• Cambridge High School won the Waikato Girls U17's

• James Cook High School won the Counties Girls 12 aside.

For the Top Four Chiefs region play offs, I expect the Girls reps from Counties to come from Wesley, Manurewa HS or Rosehill College. Wesley played in the Manawa comp and the other two are in the Auckland competition.

Pukekohe will play the BOP qualifier.

Pukekohe will play the BOP qualifier.

It was Waikato vs BOP last year, and they are meant to rotate. Very likely to be Tauranga BC.

Does Pukekohe HS still play schools from the Waikato? A couple of years back they played St John's 2nd XV before a CNI game I went to.
