The final should be fairly even, both teams have similar strengths in the forwards.

Woohoo well done St Peters!!!! I don't know how many more 1 point victories I can take! Absolutely brilliant our loose trio were outstanding.

@kiwimurph Exactly! We were lucky to make it into the top 4 of the Auckland 1A comp let alone make the national final. Whatever happens on Sunday, they've done the school proud.

That would be an upset as FHS are usually in the final.

Napier boys are a classy side. Their pack work well together and they have a classy 10 and 12. Credit to us though we've hung in there. Missing Semisi Tapa at 6 big time.

Come on St Peters!!!!

[Stargazer]

Bad collision. St Peter's player comes out okay, but a Napier player has - what looks like - a bad injury. Ankle?

Edit: St Peter's player also being treated. Lower back.
