There is some dispute about that. Not the score, but that St Paul's is the CNI rep.
They were beaten in the semi-final by St John's, so finished 3rd/4th, not 1st/2nd. Hard to argue that you are the better team after losing a semi-final.

I was told by someone associated with St John's at the round robin game between St John's and St Paul's that the winner of that match would challenge HBHS. Personally, I think that St John's is the better team but they lost that fixture.
-
I was told by the Principal of St John's that it goes off final placement.
Given that it is a bit shit for HBHS to have to play another fixture, it will almost certainly stand. But they certainly need to sort it out.

A big upset in the BOP Chiefs Top 4 game as Rotorua BHS advances to play Pukekohe HS after a 20-20 draw with Tauranga BC. I assume they scored the first try.

Wellington Premiership final
St Pat's Silverstream 31 - 12 Wellington College -
Silverstream bt Wellington in a fairly dominant performance in the Wellington College final yesterday. They won 31-12 and there are certainly a few players with big futures in the game.
Silverstream have two tall and beefy locks in Samuel Thomson and Preston Moananu who would already be bigger than any recent Hurricanes lock apart from Isaia Walker-Leawere. Hopefully Wellington and the Hurricanes have their sights on them.
Thompson Takapua, the Silverstream number 10 and number 7 Drew Berg-McLean were arguably Silverstream's best two players on the park (followed closely by the mountain Samuel Thompson). Takapua looks to have all the skills to be a professional 10 with all the silky skills in the world. I don't think I've seen a 10 this good out of Wellington since Lima Sopoaga. Hopefully he can kick on.
Big Wellington College lock Harry Law who I understand is heading down to Canterbury was the standout in a losing effort by Wellington College.
