2022 School rugby

I finally had an opportunity to watch the Hastings vs Hamilton game. A ballsy decision by Nigel and Greg to sub Hamilton's best and most experienced players early in the 2nd half, including the co-captains. Good experience for the younger players though.

Rotorua with a maul try on fulltime to win Super 8 final 20-19.

Wow, that's a turn up for the books. Congrats to Rotorua. The old Empire gets one back on the new Empire.

I think @Bovidae predicted Hamilton wouldn't win this year and I was pretty incredulous (aside from the chance Hastings might win of course) so thumbs up there.

Some blind reporting in a ODT fluff piece but Fabian Holland's brother is now in Dunedin to play for Kings. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/international-pupils-welcomed-back-dunedin

[Bovidae]

@Nepia Hamilton only has 4 players left from last year so almost a completely new team.

Not a great way to lose the game. The penalty that gave RBHS the field position was a terrible call I thought. Fine margins.

I thought that some Spencer magic might have sealed the deal for Hamilton but not to be.

St John's Hamilton lost the CNI final too, and will play Hamilton BHS next Sat I'm told.

[OleOleOle]

@Bovidae that last penatly was correct IMO, HBHS 7 never showed a clear release before getting on the ball, a PK all day.

Interesting result for a semi final

Final will be interesting. Didn't Wgtn beat Silverstream this year

[Dan54]

Little worried about 3rd games of triple headers after the weather, but hopefully games are moved.
I watched Sacre Heart/Kings game other day, have to say I continue to be impressed with some of young players coming through. Really like young Tuisamoa at 9 for Sacred, their 15 who I can't remeber name of looked a good boy too as well as a couple of others.

Whanganui Collegiate 38 - 25 St Peter's Cambridge

Armstrongs team. Is this a good result (6th) for them

[Bovidae]

@Winger No. St Peter's have been regular finalists/winners of the CNI but don't appear to have a strong team this year. I think FA is an assistant coach, not the head coach.

[Bovidae]

I've just had it confirmed that the Waikato Chiefs Top 4 qualifier will be played tomorrow:

Hamilton BHS v St John's Hamilton - 12 pm

Maybe New Plymouth BHS is playing FDMC too to decide the Taranaki winner.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I've added HamBHS v StJ. I've seen nothing that suggests that NPBHS plays FDMC, this weekend. NPBHS's schedule mentions a Chiefs' play-off match against Pukekohe HS on the 27th.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer Yeah, Pukekohe HS somehow beat Wesley in the CM playoff game. Manurewa would be stronger than Pukekohe - strange they didn't get a game. NPBHS and FDMC would have played each other earlier in the season, so they probably just used that result.

This is Hamilton BHS's last home game so that must mean that the Waikato winner plays BOP away next Sat.

[JK]

Up the Lake!!

[Bovidae]

Hamilton BHS 31 - 12 St John's Hamilton

[Bovidae]

To put into context where Pukekohe HS is within the Chiefs region, they played Matamata College today in the Waikato 1st Division final. Matamata won 24-17.

[trooa]

St Peters 21-16 De La Salle. Kelston 20-16 Sacred Heart 1A Semis.
Big upset in BOP Top4 qualifier, Tauranga beat Rotorua 22-11.

[Bovidae]

@trooa So TBC has the Moascar Cup now?

Hamilton BHS at Tauranga next week then.
