2019 School Rugby
-
Don’t feel bad - there is no quota system in SA School rugby - so coaches are allowed to pick first teams on merit. Only provincial teams and national teams from age 12 to 18 and senior levels have a quota system.
What I am saying is that our top 10 rugby schools will beat the under 18 junior springboks by 50 points or more.our number 14 and number 10 ranked schools also beat some top New Zealand Schools with big scores.
Unlike your junior all blacks and senior all blacks and all your super rugby teams - your schoolboy rugby teams actually get to play against quota free teams - so it is like playing against the springboks of the old days when springboks ruled world rugby.

I hadn't heard about this before. I think it's interesting.
New weight restricted 1R premier grade launched in Auckland schools
Auckland Rugby has launched a new premier level weight restricted competition in secondary schools to create room for even more players to flourish. The new 1R grade will extend pathways for young superstars that might have been lost within the open grades.

This is from the Auckland Rugby website:

Anyone know exactly how/why manurewa has ended up in the north harbour comp for this year?
I can only assume it’s due to them being too shit for Auckland (Westlake beat them 53 nil) but must be a more accurate reason?
Full results for round 2 of north harbour
Westlake 53 v Manurewa 0
Whangarei 28 v Rosmini 10
Orewa 27 v Massey 10
Rangitoto 17 v Takapuna 14Good win for whangarei there and orewa over Massey too. Takapuna with two losses already, more than they had all regular season last year
-
@JK yeah I think the benefit of playing in that comp is slowly starting to show for WBHS after copping some big hidings in the early years, they got a few boys playing U14s this seaosn who I expect will be playing 1st 15 in the next year or so...still would suck having that much travel, I mean Whangarei-Manurewa is a bit of a hike for a rugby game.

Manurewa are the second best team behind Wesley in Counties. With Wesley in CNI, they must be looking for meaningful competition. Auckland has never let outside Ist XV's in their main comp. North Harbour and Counties teams sometimes play in the lower grade comps. My old school Onewhero Area School played in a U14 comp last year.
-
Counties Manukau doesn't have a true first XV comp this year.
Alfriston College, Pukekohe High School, Rosehill College, Papakura High School are all in Auckland's 1st XV 1C grade.
The Highest grade in Counties is called 2nd XV with James Cook, Waiuku, Tuakau and AGS Strathallan and second and third XV teams from the other schools.

CNI? Is that Central North Island or?

About the Super 8 competition (from a BOP/Chiefs perspective). Terrible webcoding, but you'll be able to read it.
