Pick Your (or any) High Schools' All-Time Greatest XV

[Duluth]

Shitty old Kamo High. There's a few gaps to fill

I think this is all the players that went on to play Super Rugby? There was a good period in the early to mid 90's

1 Con Barrell (I think he went there? Before my time..)
2 Scott Linklater

4 Ian Jones

7 Justin Collins

10 David Holwell

15 Todd Miller

@Duluth yeah I dont think Joe Ross or Brad MIller made super level, only provincial?

[Stargazer]

@Magpie_in_aus Yeah, I thought about the Thompson twins, but it's an all time greatest thread, so I wondered whether there are more Napier Old Boys who've actually played for the ABs, MABs, SR, U20 and NPC (in that order), before looking at talented youngsters. As Tyrone Thompson would, no doubt, have made the U20s this year, I'll put at 2.

Colin Bourke will have to take the 6 jersey, although I have to admit I was tempted to give it to Trent Boswell-Wakefield.

Rolls (16) and Waenga (22) get a spot on the bench.

I'll amend the list in my previous post.

@Duluth I had assumed Todd Miller had went to CCNZ for some of his secondary school education like his uncles, but it appears not.

Con Barrell is another from Kamo.

@Stargazer Weber vs Forster?

I just edited my post to add Con Barrell

Todd was at Kamo but didn't play for the 1st xv. He opted to play club rugby instead

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Ah, yes, another one. Because I can't remember ever seeing him play, he'll get the 21 jersey.

[Bovidae]

@Duluth Miller must have ended up in the Waikato to go to uni and has never left.

@Duluth think Holwell played mostly for MN too...forgt about Con, did Jason Barrell make super rugby?

[Duluth]

@taniwharugby

He did play SR.. I assume he went to Kamo too

Add in a few Northland reps and the Kamo side isn't too bad

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth yeah I think Dooley played some of the inter-school stuff, but for Saturday comps I think he played for MN.
