2022 School rugby

@Stargazer Seeing as though there is no game for Nelson College are they now part of the Waimea Combined outfit?

[Bovidae]

I'll be interested to see how St John's goes against Rotorua for a CNI vs Super 8 comparison. I expect RBHS will win easily, but if St John's has some self-belief it could be closer.

Then RBHS hosts Matamata College on Wed. That will get ugly.

@Higgins :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Nelson College and Timaru BHS already played their game on Tuesday.

Traditionally near the top of Super 8 vs the middle of CNI though.

St John's have a good side this year, with a lot of the team returning from last year, but I suspect they are under-done for such a big game.

Being a Moascar Cup game, RBHS won't take the same chances as for a friendly.

Does the Super 8 always start so late?

Rotorua have already played a lot of games so far this year.

Does the Super 8 always start so late?

Yes, the competition usually starts in June.

Hey, does anyone know how to search for a schoolboy rugby registration?

I know how to register for my school, but how do I check other schools?

RBHS just held on: 40 to 34, but I've no idea how the game went.

Meanwhile St Peters lost to Wanganui Collegiate, so their season is not going so well.

@Stargazer well well well....

That Rotorua game was awesome. At Johns looked the better side at times. Good free flowing footy from both teams.

St Pats tripping up Palmy Boys, what an upset. Is this the year wellington finally has a decent team?

[Higgins]

@Left-Right-Out-0 By Wellington standards possibly. Remember Silverstream suffered a close 24 nil loss to Hastings up at Porirua Park a couple of weeks ago and for them to get that close indicates a slight evening in standards between the schools in this neck of the woods.

[Left Right Out 0]

@Higgins i watched that Hastings game on Sideline. Stream had all the ball and territory in 2nd half too. Considering what Hastings then went on to do the next week vs Scots and what theyd do to alot of the better schools in NZ, id say Stream are on the up. Still lacking in the halves but Emmanuel at 2nd 5 is super talented. Their outside backs looked different to a week ago vs GBHS, missing the jinky fullback and winger. Their forwards are rock solid on defence. I expect them to see off stiff competiton from Scots and maybe Rongotai this year

[Can I Play too]

@Chester-Draws heard of the privacy laws? LOL, you can't.

@Stargazer Rathkeale College played HIBS today.

[Canes4life]

@Bovidae HIBS is my old stomping ground, do you know who won?

[Bovidae]

@Canes4life No, I don't know the score. I just saw a graphic advertising the match. It is a winter exchange fixture.
