@tim said in 2018 New Zealand Schools:

Is Reihana any relation of Bruce?

Don't know. All I've been able to find is that his dad is a retired police detective and that he has 3 older sisters.

[Stargazer]

Second try to Wrampling. Good team try, but most of the work done by Murray.

29 - 10 NZ

[Stargazer]

Intercept try to the Aussie left wing. Some very loose passing from some of the NZ players. First Niko Jones lost the ball that way and now one of the backs.

29 - 17 NZ

[Stargazer]

So getting in from the side when trying to stop a driving maul is okay.

[Stargazer]

Great scrum. Now another one ..

[Stargazer]

Jones should have passed instead of trying to go for the try himself. Two players unmarked to his right.

[Stargazer]

Now it's a try! Sam Darry.

[Stargazer]

Half time: NZ Schools 36 - 17 Australian Barbarians Schools

.

The try from that big Aussie prop:

[Stargazer]

Try to the Aussie centre. NZ defence lacks a bit of organisation out wide. 36 - 24 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try Jacob Kneepkens after good little kick from Murray.

Zarn Sullivan struggles with the kicks. Apparently there's a bit of wind in Brisbane.

41 - 24 NZ

[Stargazer]

Reihana on for Sullivan. Also a change of LH prop.

[Stargazer]

Tauakipulu on for Thompson.

[Stargazer]

Hmm, changes to our frontrow and we start losing the scrum. I hope it was just this one scrum.

[Stargazer]

Try Louie Chapman after a little break and great pass from Reihana. Easy first conversion from Reihana.

48 - 24 NZ

[Stargazer]

Great break from Jones, but he should have offloaded when he still could. The NZ 12 was unmarked.

The reserve hooker scores after Sam Darry ripped the ball from one of the Aussies and a break from Wrampling.

Reihana converts.

55 - 24 NZ

A lot of players have been subbed.

[Stargazer]

Funaki (for Champan), Segner (for Prain) and another NZ player coming on.

[Stargazer]

Forward pass from Maraku; if it had been good, I've no doubt Wrampling would have scored again. Impressive player.

[Stargazer]

Another dominant scrum from NZ.

[Stargazer]

And now we're penalised for pushing early in the scrum.
