There'll be a lot of happy 5th formers (yeah I don't know the equivalent today) looking forward to lots of game time with this announcement.

@stargazer many new faces in there this year, a few of those were at Kamo High last year.
Lost a few players too, mainly due to leaving school, but a few key ones gone which will likely hurt.

So Vernon Bason was only a year 12 last year. He was one of the NZ Schools hookers.

@stargazer A quick search says he was a year 12.

With preseason starting this weekend (some trial games have already been played), here's a reminder of the Experimental Domestic Safety Law Variations (EDSLVs) that are being introduced in the 2022 season:
EXPERIMENTAL DSLVs
Several Experimental Domestic Safety Law Variations (EDSLVs) are being introduced in the 2022 season which Provincial Unions must introduce. In addition to the EDSLVs, there are a number of Selected EDSLVs (SEDSLVs). Individual provincial unions may adopt any of these and trial them in identified grade/s of rugby if they so choose.
Teenage
Following a series of trials in Provincial Unions competitions, workshops, and working groups, five Experimental Domestic Safety Law Variations (EDSLVs) are being rolled out across Secondary School Rugby in 2022.
These include scrum constraints around resets, a new offside line for the opposing halfback at the scrum, and the addition of amending field dimensions to Game On.
Full document:
You can find the "Selected EDSLVs" here:
https://www.rugbytoolbox.co.nz/the-game/rugby-laws/experimental-dslvs/selected-edslv-trialsAll these domestic law variations come on top of the World Rugby law trials that are already being used in Super Rugby (50:22, goal line drop-out, flying wedge, 1-player prelatched and Targeting of Lower Limbs at the ruck).
-
@stargazer In the absence of a media release Feilding Ag must still be conducting trials before finalising their girls 1st XV.

@stargazer pretty sure Michael Robinson in that team is a boy who was in the team I used to coach up here, played 10 (talented cricketer too, which is why he went to that school)
-
There are plenty of pre-season games starting now. I see that Rotorua BHS are playing Auckland GS and De La Salle over the next week. It will be interesting to compare Super 8 vs 1A.
-
@stargazer said in 2022 School rugby:
@bovidae There were plenty already last week.
My comment was more about the number of pre-season games increasing by the week. Unfortunately, some schools are better at promoting their games, while for others you wouldn't know they are playing.
-
There will be more games, because - as @Bovidae says - some schools don't let anyone know they're playing.
Here's a list for this weekend. If I find more games, I'll add them to this list.

I've seen some one-sided scores so far, some that wouldn't have been expected.
-
Auckland Grammar lost 64-0, is that the biggest loss they’ve ever had?

That was the surprise score I was alluding to above.
I've no idea if that is their biggest loss, but either RBHS are really strong this year, or AGS are weak. Maybe a little of both.
-
Hamilton BHS and Westlake BHS's traditional preseason games today. First game for Hamilton while I was told that Westlake have played 3 games so far. There looked to be plenty of new faces in the Hamilton BHS team compared to last year, and a few missing. They certainly don't have the biggest forward pack. In fact Westlake BHS were bigger, but Hamilton BHS's speed out wide was the difference.
1st XV: Hamilton BHS 29 - Westlake BHS 5
2nd XV: Hamilton BHS 41 - Westlake BHS 0 -

A few more mid-week preseason results:
Wednesday, 13 April 2022
St Thomas CC 19 - 33 John McGlashan College
Liston College v Rosmini College ??Thursday, 14 April 2022
Lindisfarne College 5 - 38 Napier BHS
Hastings BHS 20 - 29 Kelston BHS
Rotorua BHS 31 - 12 De La Salle College -
@bovidae Feilding must have a really good squad this year. They've already beaten Hastings Boys, New Plymouth Boys and now St Pat's Silverstream. I know it's only preseason and not all squads are complete yet (Hastings Boys is still missing key players), but still quite impressive.
-
@stargazer And I don't think that Vernon Bason has played in all of their games either, certainly not the earlier games. I might go and watch FAHS when they play a CNI game in Hamilton. (Edit: vs St Paul's on June 25 might be the one).
-
-
A big game was played earlier in the week:
Christchurch BHS 21 - King's College 17
-
A few more mid-week results:
Mon 18 April 2022

Thu 21 April 2022
Rosmini College 0 - 45 Napier BHS
Selwyn Combined 31 - 14 Waitaki BHS
There were way more games, this week, but most schools aren't very good at promoting their games and posting the results! -
A few of this weekend's games:
Sat 23 April 2022
Sacred Heart College v Napier BHS - 12.00pm at Sacred Heart | livestream: https://sideline.live/play/17023
Auckland Grammar v Palmerston North BHS - 11.00am at AGS
Christchurch BHS v Southland BHS - 12.30pm
St Paul's Collegiate (H'ton) v St Peter's Coll - 11.00am at St Pauls'
Kelston BHS v Ponsonby 21s
Sun 24 April 2022
Nelson College v Tauranga BC - Sun 24 April 2022, at Nelson Coll -
The Super 8 teams have done well in the last week, beating some of the big schools from Auckland and the South Island. That suggests a very competitive Super 8 this season. It's hard to know if Auckland Grammar and Sacred Heart are really that weak until the 1A starts.
