I heard St Kents beat Hastings Boys 24-20.. not sure if correct scoreline..

A nice little fact:

A unique achievement for the Withy family, with Taine named as the captain of our First XV for 2024 - taking the team to Japan and beyond.
Taine's brother Sean captained the side in 2018, while Aaron captained the side in 2021 - and now three years later, it’s Taine's turn.

New Zealand Warriors claim 'unprecedented influx' in rugby union signings

The rise in popularity of the New Zealand Warriors has lead to an 'unprecedented influx' in the number of former schoolboy rugby union players signing with the club.

[Bovidae]

Out of curiosity I checked who they were:

None from Kelston, which is a surprise.

Hiraka Waitai-Haenga was the 2nd 5 at Hamilton BHS. His midfield partner had already signed for the Titans.

Seen a post on a Facebook page that HBHS are not letting any of their top players play league. They train like pros so there would be a worry of burnout. Age grade league in the Waikato goes up to Under 17 and is played on Sundays.

Edit: The page mentioned in the article.

@Tim why are the Warriors all of a sudden popular? They still put our mediocre results like they always have, nothings changed.
