2022 School rugby

[Bovidae]

I watched the Nelson College-St Thomas College game last night. A good game between two of the top 3 1st XVs in the South Island. Tupuailei is definitely a beast and hard to stop with the ball in hand. He's not the greatest scrummager though but will improve. Interesting that he went to no.8 once the reserve prop came on the field. Given Tupuailei was in the NZ Schools Barbarians last year he will be a certainty to be selected in the NZ Schools team.

Here's the full game. Mullet alert.

@Stargazer said in 2022 School rugby:

I read this:

It's our first win in this Traditional since 2010 and our first win over Stream since 2015 (semi-final).

[Stargazer]

Earlier in the week, there was a televised game in Sky's tv guide (IIRC, a game from the Miles Toyota Championship), but I can't find it anymore. Also some livestreams from Auckland 1A games have disappeared.

[Stargazer]

One-sided affair in that CNI game, again. And not in St John's favour, obviously.

Despite lots of coaches on the sideline

HT: SJC 0 - 29 St Peter's

[Stargazer]

The Hastings game has started. Napier Boys are currently doing their haka.

[Stargazer]

Hastings concede a penalty. Tauranga get the first line-out of the game.

The other game has started, too.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer A bit hard cheering against a team dressed in black and white hooped jersies, black shorts and black and white hooped socks on today of all days.

[Stargazer]

Hastings penalised again. Tackler not rolling away. I hope it's not going to be "one of those games".

Napier close to scoring. Napier scrum on NP's 10m.

[Stargazer]

Hastings doing nothing but defending in their own half.

Intercept NP leads to nothing; Napier back on attack.

[Stargazer]

Big clearing kick Hastings. No 50:22, unfortunately. TBC get the line-out, far into their own half.

Napier is parked in NP's half. They get another scrum.

[Stargazer]

TBC penalised for backchat. Hastings not going for the easy 3 points; taking a line-out instead on TBC's 5m.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer NP look to have the obligatory Fijian winger but he seems to be playing midfield

[Stargazer]

Tali Ioasa scores for Hastings Boys'. Great team try.

And oh, the synchronicity. Napier Boys' score at the same time. You could see that one coming.

0 -7 Hastings
0 - 7 Napier

[Stargazer]

NP butcher a line-out and - I think - Gus Brown steals it and makes a nice break.

Another line-out for Hastings. Both schools hot on attack now.

[Stargazer]

Another line-out for Napier on NP's 5m.

TBC also get a line-out but it's overthrown and Hastings clear.

[Stargazer]

Not sure what the interruption is in the Napier game, but it's taking too long. Water boys off, please.

[Stargazer]

Napier line-out, driving maul ... ref says held-up. Napier players are not convinced haha.

[Higgins]

The NP coaching staff look to be on the field giving their team instructions during that injury break. Is that allowed in schools rugby?
