2018 School Rugby

@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.

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.

@stargazer
Just looked. They got added in last year. Anymore 100point games might not last long

[Chester Draws]

@stargazer

Well that's confusing. Thank-you for the clarification.

Did Wesley change their minds, or was my information about them talking of leaving CNI wrong?

[mikedogz]

The Waikato/Counties combined comp is not happening this year.

Waikato 1st XV will be:
Cambridge High School
Morrinsville College
Matamata College
Hillcrest High School
Te Awamutu College
Tokoroa High School

Grading games happening on Wednesday, St Johns and St Pauls might be there too

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz What about the Chiefs Cup?

[mikedogz]

I know Wesley have a game tomorrow against Tauranga. Only info I can find is through Counties draws. no info added on points table.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz St Pauls Collegiate is also in CNI.
