@Stockcar86 said in Pick Your (or any) High Schools' All-Time Greatest XV:
I’d have Karne Hesketh on the wing for Napier as a RWC try scorer for Japan against South Africa
And If they are playing in their high school positions, put Colin Bourke at fullback
Yeah Glen Horton would be my fullback he was amazing at high school. Karne was 2nd5 at 1st 15 level (openside prior to that) only moved wider once he got to Alhambra.

@junior He was Otahuhu College. Played with Ali Lauititi when they won it in the late 90s.
I'm sure I watched him play in the 1996 secondary schools final and absolutely carve it up...

Is Ken Laban a secret Fern lurker, this thread sounds like his wet dream.
My school could only think of: Jerry Collins (you could probably add Brenda too), Murray Mexted, Scott Couch, Jeremy Kyne (played for Canada)
Not my school but Mana College at a quick punt. There's probably guys before 1990 that I can't Google easily.

Said Inga was best schoolboy he ever saw.

1 B Franks / D Hewett / R LoeFergie McCormack could be the fullback in this side, and Bob Deans could play 13. Tony Steel could be one of the wingers. Helluva backline.

@shark who’s out of position. Brodie was a prop at high school as they had another good hooker and crotty played 10 at high school. Everyone else in normal positions. Setaimata sa was a gun number 8 at school. Only missed nz schools because he’d already signed with the roosters.
-
@Allstar didn’t Jerry attend St Pats Town?

Pat Vincent at halfback.

@Canes4life he did eventually, after his old man took him out of Tawa and sent him into St Pats. He was a bit of a loose cannon apparently (you'd never believe it eh) His sister Brenda went righ through Tawa.
