@Bovidae Manurewa ended up fourth on the table in the Auckland competition, Wesley were the other Counties team. Hamilton were the inaugural Chiefs Manawa winners.

But no CM teams in that Chiefs competition. Manurewa would have played against stronger teams during the season.

Johnnie's up over Nelson College nearing the end of the first half. Really good game so far. Number of familiar names in rhe Johnnie's team. Three sons of All Blacks Muager, Joseph and Timu. While there is a Hore from the Manitoto; and also a Breen and a Whaanga (brother plays for Southland and formerly Otago).

Watching the SI final they said that the Top 4 SFs will be:

Blues vs Hurricanes
Chiefs vs SI

Also a typical wet day in New Plymouth for the Chiefs final.

[Bovidae]

Some history made with Westlake BHS and John McGlashan College making the Top 4.

Watched some highlights of the WBHS vs Kelston game. Very close game all the way through. Huge result for Westlake

[taniwharugby]

@JK yep, seen comments on SM through the year talking down the NH comp and how far behind the Auckland one they were, so great to see them get up, had a very good year.

I cant recall off the top of my head, but they are unbeaten this year so far?

[JK]

@taniwharugby What's SM?

I know they were unbeaten in the NH comp but not sure re any exchanges / traditional fixtures etc.

So vs Napier Boys on Friday and looks like its down in Palmy

[taniwharugby]

@JK Social Media...

Yeah I didnt see any of the other results, only the stuff in the NH comp.

In the NH comp yes, not in other games. Of their preseason games, traditionals or exchanges, Westlake Boys lost to Kelston Boys (0 - 5), Hamilton Boys (5-29), Dilworth School (don't know the score), to Tauranga Boys (22-26) and they beat New Plymouth Boys (10 - 6). Their game against Hastings Boys was cancelled.

@JK The Top 4 has been held in PN for a while now. Much easier for me when it was in Rotorua.

The semis are live on Sky Sport 1

1:00 pm - Westlake BHS vs Napier BHS
2:35 pm - Hamilton BHS vs John McGlashan College

I hope the weather is good on Friday.
