Nelson College has six, I think. All Crusaders!
Wyatt Crockett
Quinten Strange
Ethan Blackadder
Mitchell Drummond
Mitchell Hunt
David HaviliLast year James Lowe was on the list - next year James Marshall will be back.
So the complaint a few years back that all the Ta$man players were going to the Chiefs and Highlanders now isn't relevant? And the ones that aren't playing for the Crusaders aren't Ta$man originals anyway? Thnking Squire, Frizzell. What about Ainley?
-
Fielding Ag must have a few.
S Whitelock
L Whitelock
A Smith
C TaylorI recall seeing Koroi and Dawai playing for them. Not sure they have SR contracts though.
plus .... ?

Thinking about Christchurch schools, the only STAC old boy I can think of is Richie Mo'unga. Not sure if Hamish Dalzell was STAC or maybe Bedes actually. And I forgot Billy Harmon for SBC. Damien McKenzie was Christs College, but a poach from Southland as a senior, plus Joe Moody. Trying to think of CBHS old boys:
ALB
Fletcher Smith
Josh McKay
Will Jordan
Tim Bateman
Owen Franks
Matt Todd
Brodie Retallick
Luke RomanoThere are bound to be more....

Franks, Romano and Crotty were all born in Nelson - add in Perry, Samu, Makalio, Taufua - we're carrying you Canterbury fuckers!
Not sure where Alex Ainley went to school and a quick google doesn't tell me. Plays club rugby for Wanderers so Waimea College is a reasonable guess.

Hamish was STAC. So was Chris King.

I'm going to confidently proclaim Queen Elizabith College: 1
Nehe Milner-Skudder.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is another player as their sole rep from a non-traditional rugby school.
Example: Luke Jacobson (Cambridge HS)
Kane Hames might be the only player from Trident HS.

Counties Schools
Jimmy Tupou ( Pukekohe High School)
Augustine Pulu ( Wesley)
Nepo Laulala ( Wesley)
Luteru Laulala ( Wesley)
Karl Tu'inukuafe ( Wesley)

Lindisfarne College
George Bridge
Israel Dagg
Hugh Renton - Played for Crusaders in June break
Tiaan Falcon -
@stargazer Damn, that's a low number for Hastings Boys ... might improve in the next few years. Did Sam Anderson-Heather make the field on the weekend? If so he can be included.
Look at all those poaches in the Napier Boys team though.
-
@nepia Yep, Anderson-Heather played last week. Have added him.
The number of Napier Boys' will decrease next year, with West leaving, Kirkpatrick maybe retiring, and I fear, also Sam McNicol if his health issues continue. Definitely expect some of last year's champions from Hastings to make SR, esp Flanders, Fakatava, Toala and Kini Naholo. Just not sure how soon.

I'd be surprised if those four especially don't make it.
I wonder if the Canes will actually show some sense and lock up Fakatava and Flanders (especially) or if they'll have to find their way in other teams like Bucky and Tu'u.
