So Scots have only been given a written warning. They better find some props before the PNBHS game.
That's bullshit. They gamed the system and they've gotten away with it.
It appears so. Poor from the NZR panel to overturn the decision. Everyone will be hoping that PNBHS smash them in the scrums, and that the ref isn't fooled.

@Bovidae I never thought I'd support Palmy Boys, but Scots simply don't deserve to be in the Hurricanes Final, let alone the Top 4. I feel for those Feilding boys, who've probably trained all week, just in case, and now their season is suddenly over and the cheating school goes through.

Palmy had the edge over Napier in the scrums I saw last week (got there just after half time) and the Napier scrum is usually pretty good so the Palmy pack must have something going for them judging by that performance.

You have to feel for FAHS now.
It is with great pleasure we announce that Palmerston North Boys' High are the Hurricanes 1st XV Champs. We were advised this evening that their opposition tomorrow was unable to field the required number of trained front-row players so have regrettably had to withdraw their challenge.

@Bovidae What the heck? Why couldn't FAHS just take their place in the Hurricanes Final? They have trained all week, awaiting the outcome of theirs and Scot's appeal! Scots really f*cked them over. They probably knew all the time they couldn't field enough frontrowers. They didn't need to appeal. If they hadn't, the decision on FAHS appeal would have stood and FAHS would have played the Final against Palmy.

WTF. You couldn't write a script this stupid. Who runs this shit show?

@JK I did say earlier that I wouldn't be surprised to see Westlake win this game. They are my pick to win it all.
I see that Hamilton BHS made a late charge but lost to TBC. Home field advantage was always going to be big in this game.
Damn so much drama in schools rugby this year, interesting bunch of teams to go through to the Top 4, some weird home ground advantages, TJ taking a shot at the A1 on Sky broadcast, and a Wellington school blatantly cheating in the Canes competition and being given a pass for it.
