2022 School rugby

@Stargazer Hard to believe that his dad was the short stocky traditionally built prop. Must get his running skills from his mother!

McGlashan trio boast illustrious pedigrees

It's not the 1990s - but there is a Joseph on the side of the scrum and a Timu out wide. And the ‘‘Bear’’ is back.

The score in this game was:
Southland BHS 17 - 23 John McGlashan College

[Left Right Out 0]

@Higgins that video shows his attack is awesome but his defence is awful. 10s these days need to do both

The top girls schools in the Chiefs region are playing in the Chiefs Manawa competition. Schools involved are:

New Plymouth Girls High School
Hamilton Girls High School
Sacred Heart ( Hamilton)
Sacred Heart ( New Plymouth)
Taupo Nui A Tia College
Rotorua Girls High School
Tauranga Girls College

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz Can already guess which school is going to win that, but good to see a decent comp.

[Bovidae]

@mikedogz No school from CM like Pukekohe or Manurewa?

[mikedogz]

Auckland and Counties haven't got girls draws out yet but I expect a Counties only draw, they usually run a 1st XV and a ten aside comp. Not a lot of info around about it, I just saw the competition when browsing the Waikato draws. Invite only apparently.

Chiefs Manawa Girls 1st XV Rugby Competition

Finding games for our 1st XV rugby team has been a difficult task in the past, but 2022 presents an exciting opportunity for some great opposition!

A bit of movement of schools in competitions in the Chiefs region.

• Hauraki Plains will be playing in the Counties 1st XV comp

• Pukekohe High School will play in the Waikato 1st Division

• Manurewa is still in the North Harbour Comp

• Te Kauwhata and Katikati will play in Thames Valley 2nd Division

I was reading that these two schools play for a trophy, which Matamata currently hold, but haven't played each other since 1996.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yes, I saw that, too. Quite hard to imagine that Tauranga will not take it, this year.

I presume you mean HGHS.

Sacred Heart Hamilton beat them last year, didn't they?

[Stargazer]

@Chester-Draws Sorry, I don't know. It's already hard to keep up with all schoolboy rugby; if I had to follow all schoolgirl rugby (other than in my own province) as well, it would become a day job. Hamilton Girls' seem to be the eternal Top 4 winners, although I can't check that either because the wikipedia page about the Top 4 only lists the boys schools' results and not girls schools' and coed schools'.

IIRC HGHS won big last year.

Well that is a confusing list.

[Bovidae]

Here are the recent winners of the girls Top 4. I thought that Howick had become a force but that must just be in the sevens. No competition in 2021 either.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Awesome, thanks. Good to see the NZR website has the lists.

[Nepia]

@Bovidae Weird that Hamilton Girls High School is written 3 different ways on that list.
