In Senele (St Pats Stream), Bason (Fielding) and Brown (Napier) that could very much end up being the NZ Schools front row. Hopefully the Canes keep all of them in the system.

Chip off the old block, has a nice kick on him and all the time in the world on the ball.

[Bovidae]

[Bovidae]

[Nepia]

@Stargazer The two best schools in the Canes region get a grand total of 5 starting players in these two teams.

[Higgins]

@Nepia Palm Nth have five on their own so you obviously you don't count them as one of the top two teams. Mr. Larsen must be crapping himself after failing to have shoehorned in at least thirty Wellington players into the forty nine named.
