Would not surprise me if he goes all the way to the top..I wonder if Ta$man and the Crusaders have got him locked in..?

TIT's will lock him in for sure ( Ta$man Invitational Team in case you were wondering).

Again no Wellington school in the Hurricanes Final this year.

Hastings Boys convincingly smashed St Pat's Silverstream 37 - 10 in Hastings.
After a 17 - 0 lead for Scots College, Palmerston North BHS came back in a very tight second half to win the game 24 - 22.

Hurricanes Final: Hastings Boys - Palmerston North Boys

[Bovidae]

King's College beat St Kents 29-22 to win the Auckland 1A title.

St Kents will be in the Co-Ed Top 4 comp this year so only Auckland bragging rights were at stake.

@shark apparently he’s signed with the hurricanes. Was between crusaders and hurricanes. Silly boy

@Duluth The 1st 5 for Kings.

Aidan Morgan

[Bovidae]

Morgan was very good in the televised King's-St Kents game earlier in the season.

Some great shots of Anton Segner consoling the CBHS captain. I suspect he is going to be offered a lot of Euros to return to Europe when he goes pro:

@sparky I’d say he’s signed by the crusaders Ta$man academy.

@Stargazer What's everyone's prediction for the Top 4? Kings, Hamilton Boys, Hastings Boys and Otago Boys?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia I'd predict the first three, too. SI: no idea.

I guess it depends on whether Nelson College is an invitational XV like it's double-province franchise - maybe @Chris-B can give us some guidance?

Hmmmm, if Invitational XV is another word for "poachers", then King's and Hamilton Boys definitely deserve that label.

[Bovidae]

OBHS would have played CBHS so both Otago and Nelson have played a common opponent as a form guide.

St Kents to win the Co-ed with ease.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I don't think Otago BHS has played CBHS, this year. Not for a spot in the Top 4, anyway. It's Nelson College who beat CBHS in the UC Final and, therefore, qualified for the SI Final.

That doesn't suit my agenda at this particular time.

They play each other every year. This year Otago won I think

Bingo. It's a traditional fixture. OBHS won 37-27 in early July.

I'll add that home advantage tends to be important in the Top 4 finals so I would favour Otago.

Pretty ridiculous St Kent’s have dropped back to Co-Ed. That competition was made so lesser rugby schools had something to play for, not for schools full of scholarship players.
