@Stargazer St Peters making a mockery of Kings, who arguably have the best player in the country. Is this a sign of things to come for both teams?

@Stargazer not alot to get excited about. Maybe the Marlborough V Nelson or St Pats V NP Boys. I expect Nelson to get up comfortably but might take awhile to break down Marlborough. Stream could continue to cement their place as Wellingtons only hope. NP Boys will come out firing after losing in 2021

@Left-Right-Out-0 I would have liked to see Hamilton Boys take on AGS, because I haven't seen anything of Hamilton Boys' yet, this year.
I think St Pat's Silverstream v NP will be interesting and I will watch Lindisfarne v Hastings Boys because they're Hawke's Bay schools and I'm trying to look at the bigger picture, but the outcome is very predictable.

@Stargazer give Lindisfarne my best wishes but theyre in for a long day. Silverstream had last weekend off so should be fresh and seemingly healthy.

I'll be at this game, and hopefully the weather doesn't affect the quality of the game.
Unlike many other schools, Hamilton BHS doesn't play many pre-season games. Unless there was an earlier game I wasn't aware of, this will only be their third game this season.

@KiwiMurph think they struggled last year too IIRC

@Bovidae has he been injured?

I think so. He plays 1st XI cricket too, so might have had a niggle.

Payton Spencer was playing at fullback for Hamilton BHS against Auckland Grammar, and was the equal best player in the game along with Hamilton BHS no.7 Oli Mathis. Spencer regularly injected himself into the backline to provide the final pass for his wingers, while scoring at least one try himself using his speed to take a gap and beat defenders. Mathis is very quick for an openside and skinned a number of AGS players to score a few tries himself. HBHS played behind a strong wind in the 1st half and led 31-0 at the break.
Hamilton BHS 55 - 0 Auckland Grammar School
@taniwharugby The starting AGS 1st 5 was replaced at HT, so not sure if your son's former teammate was 10 or 20.
As this scoreline and other games they have played so far suggest, AGS aren't very strong this year. I'm not sure if this was their best XV with 1A games either side of this midweek fixture.

@Bovidae no idea, didnt see a teamsheet.
His name is Monty Parkinson, usually a strong defensive player for a 10.

Both players were quite small. I haven't seen a AGS team list either. All I can tell you is that the starter had dark hair and the reserve was blonde-headed.
This link has some videos of the game.
