Good win for PNBHS
Palmy might be the favourites in the Super 8 this year. I'll see them live next Sat.
Look forward to the report!

Hamilton BHS 17 (5) - Palmerston North BHS 10 (3)
PNBHS played with a strong wind in the 1st half but didn't really look like scoring a try. Ham BHS scored just before HT from a tighthead near the Palmy goal line. The 2nd half was more even but Ham BHS scored 2 further tries, the last from a break near halfway where 1st 5 Kemara kicked ahead and regathered to score under the posts, to lead 17-3. Palmy finally crossed the line with a couple of minutes to play despite some outstanding defence from Ham BHS for 2-3 mins near their line. The ref then played a lot of added time and blew his pea out of the whistle so Palmy ended camped in Ham BHS's half before a final knock-on sealed the match.
PNBHS have some giants in their team. Both starting props are Tameifuna-like in size, and their midfield duo are both 100 kg+. A good result for Ham BHS with 5 regular starters missing, including their captain.

Mates and I went over to Rotovegas to watch Rotorua BHS vs Hamilton BHS. Nick Briant was the ref in this game.
A strong wind favoured RBHS in the 1st half and they started strongly scoring an early try. Ham BHS hit back with 2 tries to led 12-8 at HT. Ham BHS didn't really use the wind to their advantage in the 2nd half but scored 4 more tries to win 36-18. There was a nasty injury to the RBHS centre midway through the 2nd half which stopped play for a while.

@Machpants I watched WBHS yesterday v Rosmini.
Boys got dusted, but geez they had some shit luck and decisions in the opening quarter (shoulda picked up 2 tries) and thier lineout was such that Rosmini could kick it out to get the ball back.
Thought Boys looked the equal of Rosmini for the most, but lacked polish.
Were camped on the Rosmini line for long periods but couldn't break through.
Liked the Boys centre and 7.
The Rosmini 15 has serious gas though, and the Boys 10 kicked it straight down his throat a couple of times.
Saw one absolute howler of a TJ call.
Rosmini kicked it, the Boys winger tried to keep it in, may have put a foot in touch.
One of the Rosmini coaches stalking the sideline convinced the TJ to put his flag up about 5 sec after the ball had moved on, Boys in possession.
About 6 or 7 phases later, flag still up, Rosmini turned the ball over, 2 phases, their 15 makes a break.
Coach on sideline line, oh it's just play on now, surely? Come on play on.
TJ takes arm down.
2 phases later Rosmini score (which was the first score I think)
Shocking.

The UC Championship has seen the traditional cream rise to the top as the top four now consists of STAC, CBHS, St Bedes and Christs College. Ramgiora HS are in fifth but Nelson College have a game in hand in sixth place and could sneak into the top four after their midweek game vs Shirley's A Girl's Name.

I don't get to watch much first 15 rugby but did catch the Grammar versing King's match yesterday. Incredible skills from both sides. Doyle, King's full back had a blinder. He's pretty small but great to watch.
Sadly my team was pipped at the post but seriously good entertainment. Before I get any "silver spoon" type comments - I had a scholarship and even half price was tough for my folks.
It was actually compulsory to go to that game back in my day, not sure if it still is, but they had a huge crowd.
