@bovidae Yeah, Blues very unlikely; Chiefs possible but the silence on their social media is telling.
I suspect the Hurricanes will just play a Perenara XV v Coles XV game, like they do every year before playing the game against another franchise's team. It would be great if they could play the winner of Crusaders U18 v Highlanders U18, but they probably won't do that.
-
@stargazer I have driven past St Paul's a few times this week and nothing was happening on the rugby field. To complicate matters, even before Waikato went into L3 there were players from Auckland/CM that were due to attend the camp and wouldn't have been able to.
-
Cullen Gray and Jade Stewart (1st 5) both Northland boys...I have seen some of the work Stewart used to put in when he was 10 to 13, assume he has maintained that ethic at St Kents, and making a team like this shows hard work pays off!
His younger brother Reuben is one to watch if he keeps going, immense natural talent.

@stargazer said in 2021 NZ Schools:
Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula, the STAC player in the Hurricanes U18 camp who is there as a "contracted player", is the nephew of Richie Mo'unga.
What position does he play? And by contracted does this mean he will be back at the Crusaders next year?
-
@canes4life I think "contracted" in a Hurricanes context means contracted to either the Hurricanes or Wellington. Why else would a STAC player be in the Hurricanes U18?
No idea what position he plays.
-
@stargazer interesting, he looks like he's doing a box kick so maybe halfback?
-
@canes4life Maybe @shark knows, as he's the one who I think follows school rugby in and around Chch? Or @chchfanatic? @Chris ?

Fullback in a game against Marlborough Boys where he was kicking goals too by the looks.

I think he played First Five for Stac,He made the QLd schoolboys u/16 in 2019.
Was at Ipswich Boys over here in Qld before going back to NZ.
sorry yes FB at Stac First Five for Ipswich boys. -
He’s a 10 , but played fullback cause coaches preferred Jack Harding. Harding is very overrated. Just an average 1st xv player.
-
@chchfanatic Is Harding from Waikato? It does seem strange he's signed with Waikato/Chiefs when he won't be selected ahead of two other 1st 5s from the region (Taha Kemara, Dawson Smith).

The Crusaders U18 v Highlanders U18 game, kicking off at 12.30pm today, will be streamed on sideline live.
