2018 School Rugby

[Bovidae]

Hamilton is not a big team and got outmuscled by St Peters in the 2nd half and that resulted in turnovers and handling errors. Losing Keogh early didn't help as he is their main ball-carrier. A better kicking game by St Peters too.

Congrats St Peters.

Full time: St Peter's 8 - 7 Hamilton Boys

Now: Christchurch BHS v Napier BHS

By the way, the Moascar Cup is also on the line in this game!

Do you have a link to watch this mate? or at least follow live scoring?

[Stargazer]

@sammyc I'm happy to post liveupdates here. It's on the Rugby Channel. Haven't looked for streams.

4th minute: try from the Napier no. 6 Josh Gimblett

5 - 0 Napier Boys

[Stargazer]

Almost a try for CBHS but a good try saving ankle tap from the Napier left wing prevents it.

[Stargazer]

CBHS play with the strong wind in the back.

[Stargazer]

Half of Napier seems to be in Palmy. Lots of support for NBHS.

[Stargazer]

Try from Napier wing Jack Sheridan, converted by their no. 12.

12 - 0 Napier

[Stargazer]

Napier has had 70% of possession in the first 18 minutes.

[Stargazer]

19th minute: try to the Napier TH prop Patrick Teddy.

17 - 0 Napier

[Stargazer]

The Napier Thompson twins are a pain in the Chch ass.

They should definitely make this year's NZ Schools squad.

@stargazer I've heard good things about Teddy. How has his scrummaging been?

[Stargazer]

Awesome to see an All Blacks legend's grandson (Napier lock Frank Lochore) in this match.

[Stargazer]

@canes4life Good! Very strong lad.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer I hope he stays in the Canes region.

[Stargazer]

@canes4life Yeah, I hope the Magpies sign him. We've some very good up and coming frontrowers at the moment in Farrell (LH), Devery (hooker), Kereru-Symes (hooker), Rakete-Stones (TH), Tavita-Metcalfe (TH) and maybe in future Tyrone Thompson (hooker) and Teddy (TH). We need them because Ash Dixon and Ben May are not the youngest anymore.

Strong competition between these lads the coming years if they stay in the Bay. Probably won't be able to sign them all.

[Stargazer]

Laban is correct: very one-side game. Napier dominating.

Half time: Napier BHS 17 v 0 Christchurch BHS

[Canes4life]

@stargazer From a Cane perspective, we need to keep guys like Farrell and Teddy. Just look at how important Owen Franks is to the Crusaders. If they can develop into strong props then we could be set for a long time.

[Stargazer]

@canes4life They also need a future prospect like Tyrone Thompson. The Canes need to develop good hookers, too. Not sure how long Coles is going to last.
