2018 School Rugby
-
the Westlake vs WBHS was WBHS 3rd in 8 days, and only were trailing 22-12 about 10 into the 2nd spell....still not a fan of them playing in this comp, they don't have all the best players making themselves available for the team as the travel factor is an issue.
-
Would Northland have enough schools to have their own comp and provide competitive games?
The NH comp isn't very strong so having a combined school comp north of the bridge makes sense. I know in the Chiefs region some schools meet at a venue midway between the school locations to minimise travel.
-
@bovidae TBH I am not sure...I know traditionally it was a strong comp, but I guess that included Kaitaia, BOI, Dargaville (with Kaitaia slightly worse travel times to games) which still means some travel.
That said, I know in school boy stuff, Northland schools have always struggled v Auckland ones.

They use to have the winner of the northland schools comp play winner of north harbour one before then winner of that went on to play the Auckland ones. I recall one year Westlake beat Whangarei by about 50 points and then a week later westlake went down by about the same margin vs the top Auckland team. It showed a real difference between the 3 comps
-
Quite surprised at how well Takapuna Grammer are going so far this year in the harbour comp. Its out local school and they aren't really known for their rugby. 4/4 (including a win over Rosmini) and only unbeaten side along with Westlake (my old school). Will def try and catch the game between them in the next few weeks.

@jk yeah I know right through my schooling when we went to play Auckland schools we always got smashed, was more often down to size.
In my 1st 15 year we had a very good team, were the best team in Northland, but got smoked by Kelston, who were a good side then, but weren't the best in Auckland.
I know Kamo HS played Wesley up here that year too, and a young fella named Jonah pretty much destroyed them.

@bovidae said in 2018 School Rugby:
Dilworth over MAGS is the standout result.
That's HUGE!!
I remember at school the dilworth first and 2nd elevens got their fields mixed up. I was in our schools second and we ended up having a hard thought 1 nil win over their 1st eleven. We'd won every game convincingly til then and expected a walkover. Didnt find out it was their first side until after the game had finished. Meanwhile the dilworth 2nd eleven were getting punished and went down 24 nil

@bovidae MAGS don't seem to be up to much this year.

@african-monkey Quite a fall from being national champs only 2 years ago.
