2017 School Rugby

I asked today about the Super 8 final. It was only Hastings BHS that was confused, as the Hamilton BHS management had congratulated Hastings BHS at the end of the game as co-winners.
Hamilton BHS beat St Johns College 49-8 this afternoon to be the Waikato representative in the Chiefs Top 4 playoffs. They play at Wesley next Saturday in one SF. The victor will play the winner of the other SF (Rotorua BHS vs New Plymouth BHS) to determine who goes to Palmy.

I think it's the same as the National Top 4, the title is shared, but in this instance, it would've been Hamilton that would've went to the Sanix Youth Championship tournament or whatever its called.

I was at the game.
The instant the final whistle went the Hamilton BHS players yelled "yeah" and threw their arms in the air and congratulated each other.
The Hastings BHS players did not do either of those things and stood there rather dejected.
I did not know what the rule was for a draw after 70 minutes. But at the final whistle, one team celebrated and one didn't.
Because of this I presumed Hamilton had won on some sort of tiebreak although I knew it wasn't on most tries as both teams scored two. As I was walking back to the car I heard someone mention "first try was the winner".
-
@Number-10 I'm sure the players had no idea of the rule change. Remember that Hamilton BHS kicked the ball out deliberately 2 mins early because they thought the ref said time was up.
My comment came after a discussion with the Hamilton BHS Headmaster, who spoke to her Hastings BHS equivalent after the game. I assume the coaches did the same.

Napier BHS will also play in the Inaugural World Secondary Schools Rugby Festival in South Africa next year.

According to that post there is only one place available for another NZ school.
This tournament is light on details. Who pays to get the international teams to SA? A number of schools might have declined the invitation if they have to cover the travel costs.
-
Carinat, who previously put together World Club 10s in Mauritius, and Paarl will cover all costs once teams are on the ground. Work is also underway to find a sponsor to contribute towards airfares.Former Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer eyes Kiwi school teams

Wellington College seemed like a pretty decent team to me and then they go down 78-0? Silverstream will put up a better fight next week but that is one hell of a score.
-
A few mates and I went to the Wesley-Hamilton BHS game yesterday at Wesley. As per usual, the Wesley team are huge, none more so than their captain Tupou Vaai who is a very good player. Think a mix of Lomu and Akira Ioane. But Wesley never looked like scoring a try as the Ham BHS players just tackled anything in front of them. It was a very impressive performance as they were missing a couple of key players.
So the Chiefs Top 4 final will be Round 3 of Hamilton vs Rotorua with the series at 1-1.

Watching the 1st xv revision show, Sacred Heart v St Kents.
In the 11th minute.
A SH player gets tackled, is held, but gets up without releasing and has another go. Then 30 seconds later a double blast from the ref and a warning to SK that "the next player to make a tackle and not release will be walking ".
Jeeeezus.
Shit reffing.
And only the 11th minute for a YC warning.
Disclaimer: watching highlights only, didn't see the preceding 11 minutes.

Hamilton BHS beat Rotorua BHS 31-8 (HT: 8-3) in the Chiefs region final to advance to the Top 4.
Conditions meant that Rotorua had more possession and territory in the 1st half but couldn't make that count after getting an early DG. As the rain got heavier in the 2nd half the Hamilton forwards took control. Rotorua scored a consolation try with time up.
