Still missing a few results from preseason games.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer Wow, Wesley beat RBHS. The CNI could be more even this year.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yeah, I was surprised to see that result and even double-checked whether it was correct.

[Stargazer]

A few more preseason results:

St Paul's Collegiate 12 - 35 Tauranga BC
Scots College 24 – 17 Wairarapa College
Christchurch BHS 38 – 22 Southland BHS
Timaru BHS 21 – 19 Selwyn Combined

[Bovidae]

No Sky TV coverage of 1st XV rugby this year, due mainly to 1A's decision. That is a shame for people living in other parts of the country who may want to watch these games.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Short-sighted. 1st XV rugby is so much more than Auckland. Just look at what John McGlashan did last year. Or Feilding HS. There are so many games that would be a great watch!

I hope Maori TV again streams Super 8!

[Stargazer]

Just read the match report from Palmy Boys' game, on Saturday. They have another Viljoen in the squad (first five-eighth).

Preseason

• Whanganui CS v Hato Pāora College ?

WCS scored 100+ pts so you wonder why they even decided to play this game given the relative strengths of both teams.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yeah, even St John's, Hastings, put more than 40 on them and they usually finish last in the CNI. I guess these are "traditional" fixtures or exchanges, and they don't want to break the tradition?

[Stargazer]

Secondary Schools comp hits full swing - Counties Sports Hub

The Counties Manukau Secondary Schools competition gets into full swing this week with a full round of matches in all grades. The 1st XV Championship begins with Hauraki Plains College taking on the Tuakau College/Onewhero Area School outfit from midday at Hauraki Plains College while Pukekohe High...

[Bovidae]

@mikedogz Manurewa HS aren't doing too well. They defaulted in Rd 1 and were well beaten in their second game in the Harbour 1A competition.

[Tim]

@Bovidae They need to return back where they belong.

Seems kind of ridiculous to have such a large distance between teams. Weird for club connections too.

[Bovidae]

@Tim Auckland school teams wouldn't know what an away game was. In theory it was to strengthen the competition as Wesley is in the CNI.

Speaking of the CNI and distance. Paerata to Masterton is what you call a long way.

John McGlashan College 14 - 42 Southland BHS

[mikedogz]

The Counties comp would be way stronger if the big schools came back. Even if they had a combined comp with Waikato. Even without HBHS but with CNI schools it would be the same level as the current CNI with less travel.

[Stargazer]

I forgot to post this, yesterday.

Matamata College played Pukekohe HS Dev on Friday night so this game wouldn't have happened.
