2018 School Rugby

[mikedogz]

Most important result for me is Onewhero Area School beat Tuakau College for the battle of the Bridge .

[mikedogz]

It looks like The Chiefs trophy and Cup excludes the Waikato schools:

1st XV Chiefs Trophy Pool A
Pukekohe HS 1st XV 22 vs 15 John Paul College
Manurewa HS 1st BYE

Chiefs Trophy Pool B
Rosehill College 1st XV 24 vs 12 Taupo Nui a Tia College
Hauraki Plains College Bye

Chiefs Cup teams are:
Francis Douglas College
Rotorua Boys High School
Tauranga Boys
Wesley College

[Bovidae]

New Plymouth BHS is not involved either.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz I understand from what I read on FB, that some of the games played by Chiefs schools in other competitions (in this case CNI: FDMC v Wesley) double up as Chiefs Cup games. @Bovidae already posted the result of the Rotorua v Tauranga game, which may or may not double up as a Chiefs Cup and Super 8 game.

[Bovidae]

Based on the schedule I have for Hamilton BHS the Super 8 starts in June. This month is only local derbies.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae They do not always stick to the schedule though. Some games are moved to make way for traditionals or for games against touring (foreign) teams. Happens every year, and quite often.

[mikedogz]

Could be, Looking at the draws through the Counties website Wesley have:
15 May vs Tauranga Boys (Chiefs Cup)
19 May vs Francis Douglas College (Chiefs Cup) Last Saturday's game could be the one that counts

They played St Peters on 2 May for CNI comp. Saturday games are for CNI

[Bovidae]

@stargazer

Hamilton's traditional fixtures are all against Super 8 schools (NPBHS, TBC). Their main traditional game is Auckland GS but they've wussed out. I don't know the details of other schools.

[mimic]

I'm a bit surprised by the MAGS v De La Salle result. I was expecting the scoreline to be the other way around. Is that result confirmed?

[Stargazer]

@mimic Yes, that has been confirmed.

So looks like Hastings Boys two years of glory are over, normal service resumed ... oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

I'll put their loss down to jet lag.

[Magpie_in_aus]

Have TA always been in the CNI comp? Think they have had about 2-3 competitive years since 2000 CHB would have surely been a more consistent performer outside of the SJC and LFC teams in HB

[Stargazer]

@magpie_in_aus I think they were added two or three years ago, but I'm not sure about that.

[Chester Draws]

Te Awamutu were playing in the Counties-Manakau-Waikato comp the last couple of years. They've got a lot better recently in all their rugby (I suspect the whole school as a whole has).

I think that CMW comp has folded though, and some of the Waikato teams are now CNI (which used to be mostly private and ex-private schools) and some like Wesley dropped out(?).

Cambridge have dropped quite a long way recently. Can't say I mind, as I do not have good memories of playing Cambridge teams. It's their parents that I hate, the school itself is OK.
