2022 School rugby

[Higgins]

@Stargazer I know they are full on games but I was only using the pre season analogy as a way of softening the blow for the pounding the Wellington teams got!!!!!! Naturally I am overjoyed at those results the HB sides keep inflicting on schools from that region.

Round 1

• Wellington College 24 - 33 Gisborne BHS
• Scots College 21 - 47 Palmerston North BHS
• St Pat's Wgtn 5 - 43 Napier BHS
• St Pat's Silverstream 0 - 24 Hastings BHS

Highlights of one of those games

[Stargazer]

@Duluth Great, cheers! Don't be surprised if they also come with highlights from the St Pat's Wgtn v Napier BHS game, which was played on the same field after this game.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Some great individual actions by that Wellington College 10 that you mentioned; he looks good in that clip posted by @Duluth! He makes Wellington College's attack look good, but their defence seems very leaky. Overall, GBHS looking stronger, some big boys easily breaking through Wellington College's defence, but some of their tackles made me cringe, especially the one where the Wellington player scores in the corner.

This weekend's games will be interesting. If I can find the time, I may still watch last weekend's games that didn't involve HB schools.

@Stargazer Hard to believe that his dad was the short stocky traditionally built prop. Must get his running skills from his mother!

@Higgins that video shows his attack is awesome but his defence is awful. 10s these days need to do both

The top girls schools in the Chiefs region are playing in the Chiefs Manawa competition. Schools involved are:

New Plymouth Girls High School
Hamilton Girls High School
Sacred Heart ( Hamilton)
Sacred Heart ( New Plymouth)
Taupo Nui A Tia College
Rotorua Girls High School
Tauranga Girls College

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz Can already guess which school is going to win that, but good to see a decent comp.

[Bovidae]

@mikedogz No school from CM like Pukekohe or Manurewa?

[mikedogz]

Auckland and Counties haven't got girls draws out yet but I expect a Counties only draw, they usually run a 1st XV and a ten aside comp. Not a lot of info around about it, I just saw the competition when browsing the Waikato draws. Invite only apparently.

A bit of movement of schools in competitions in the Chiefs region.

• Hauraki Plains will be playing in the Counties 1st XV comp

• Pukekohe High School will play in the Waikato 1st Division

• Manurewa is still in the North Harbour Comp

• Te Kauwhata and Katikati will play in Thames Valley 2nd Division

I was reading that these two schools play for a trophy, which Matamata currently hold, but haven't played each other since 1996.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yes, I saw that, too. Quite hard to imagine that Tauranga will not take it, this year.

I presume you mean HGHS.

Sacred Heart Hamilton beat them last year, didn't they?

[Stargazer]

@Chester-Draws Sorry, I don't know. It's already hard to keep up with all schoolboy rugby; if I had to follow all schoolgirl rugby (other than in my own province) as well, it would become a day job. Hamilton Girls' seem to be the eternal Top 4 winners, although I can't check that either because the wikipedia page about the Top 4 only lists the boys schools' results and not girls schools' and coed schools'.

IIRC HGHS won big last year.
