Only now remembered that is wanted to post this.
I'm not sure why Lindisfarne participated in the Condor Sevens instead of Napier Boys. I can't imagine that they are good enough to beat any Napier Boys' team. Maybe Napier Boys couldn't field a team due to lack of interest, I don't know, but it was a very disappointing tournament for Lindisfarne. On the positive side, they'll have learned a lot from it and, hopefully, can use that to improve. You can't fault their effort. I liked that Porter-Samuels lad, but have no idea whether this was his last year in school, or not.
Hastings Boys also had a mixed tournament. Sometimes, they looked half in holiday mode; not strange, as - for example - their captain (Thompson-Dunn) only returned from Australia the day or so before the tournament. Maybe their preparation wasn't optimal. Plenty of effort and heart though. Not all players from their 1st XV side that I expected to play, were there either.
Anyway, Latrell Smiler-Ah Kiong was again a stand-out. I assume they don't pick players for the tournament team from teams that don't make the Cup QFs, but he deserved to be in it on individual performance. I can't wait to see how he develops further and how good he can become. I'm glad he decided to stay in the Bay instead of heading to Waikato.
And then there's Cooper Flanders. It is unbelievable he's so young (he played U16 this year). I wouldn't be surprised at all if - in a few years time - we come to the conclusion that he's even better than his older brother. Very promising.

Uh oh, the Luke Whitelock curse.

@Nepia I have no idea what you're talking about, but never mind.
When Lucky Luke was a youngster it was claimed (by some) that he would be the best of the Whitelocks.

I remember when I was at lindisfarne I asked the coach if we could put a sevens team in a local HBSS comp. He hated the ideal. We actually had enough players to have been competitive LFC usually had a handful of alright players but struggled when you needed 15-22 alright players.
Also as a school we were horrible at touch.
I always found it weird we didn't have more of a focus on 7s and touch to improve ball playing ability and lines etc in the offseason.
Maybe it was because we never had the ball against nbhs and hbhs haha.

This clip was re-posted on the Magpies' FB page this morning. Highlights from the Transit Coachlines 1st XV Rugby Tournament match between St Patrick's College (Town) and Hastings Boys' High School at Westpac Stadium (14 May 2016).
If embedding doesn't work (or disappears after a while), you can still watch it on Facebook.

Sat 4 July results:
- Palmerston North BHS 2nd XV 24 - 41 St John's Hastings 1st XV
- Napier BHS 2nd XV 21 - 31 Rathkeale College 1st XV
- St Paul's Collegiate 1st XV 17 - 29 Napier Boys 1st XV
- Palmerston North BHS Rector’s XV beat Te Aute (Centenary Match) by much
Apparently, that last game was a trashing (not unexpectedly, I think); maybe that's why nobody posted the score.
