2018 New Zealand Schools

Yep, I guess I missed the replays as well. Oh well, saw this try by our gigantic number 1.

[Stargazer]

Good try from that big LH prop Tamaiti Williams. Converted by Reihana. 26 - 0 NZ. It's almost half time.

[Stargazer]

They said a player had been signed by the Crusaders. Were they talking about Punivai or someone else?

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer that guy is HUGE.

[Bovidae]

As the comms said, both props aren't just heavy but very tall.

The backs haven't really clicked yet.

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Big food bill for his parents.

[Bovidae]

@stargazer Williams.

Williams I think.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Ah, yes, just googled and he was already selected for this year's Crusaders’ Junior Knights development camp.

[Stargazer]

The commentators keep on repeating that Gideon Wrampling, who just scored a try, is from Brisbane. Maybe it was already mentioned in the thread (I can't remember), but is he a Kiwi boy (NZ born or NZ parents) coming back to NZ or is he an Aussie who came to NZ to improve his game, only to ply his trade for Oz later?

[Stargazer]

For the Bay supporters here: Tyrone Thompson has come on.

[Nepia]

@stargazer You'd think that he would be committed to NZ to be in this team.

[Stargazer]

Try Blair Murray. Good work from Thompson in the lead-up to that try. Reihana converts. It's 40 - 0 to NZ.

[Stargazer]

NZ bench being emptied.

[Stargazer]

That German lad from Nelson College, Anton Segner, looks quite handy.

[Machpants]

LOL that scrum, how did Tonga end up with the ball

[Stargazer]

Segner steals the ball again.

[Machpants]

Yeah he's the master race alright!

[Stargazer]

Deserved try to Segner. Very good.

Holy shit, strength there for that try!
