2023 School Rugby
-
@Bovidae Was just going to post this:
From NBHS Facebook page:
Napier Boy's High 1st XV Rugby are excited to announce they will be attending the Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament 2023. This takes place in Fukuoka Japan from 25th April to 7th May.
The invitation to attend this tournament came through during the week of Cyclone Gabrielle. Opportunities like this don't come around very often. Despite the impact of the floods on our community and the short time frame, we are humbled by the support of the players whanau and the wider Hawke's Bay community. This has enabled a squad of 30 players to attend this event.
More posts to follow.

This is kind of interesting, i'll be trying to work out who the OBHS players are and if any of them are playing for someone other than the Highlanders

@SouthernMann sorry, read that a couple of time and still missed him
-
Mike McKee will be the 9th player.

@Kiwiwomble Some of those schools are overrepresented, because of poaching.
-
@Kiwiwomble They also missed a Hastings Boys' player (probably Michael Naitokani). They have 9 players in Super Rugby.

@Stargazer ok, i just posted it as a conversation starter, didn't fact check it

Hamilton BHS and Westlake BHS had their traditional game yesterday in Auckland. A come-from-behind 29-26 win for Hamilton BHS.
This is always their first game of the season and tends to include a mixture of 1st and 2nd XV players before the final squad is confirmed. Like Napier BHS, they will want to have some meaningful games pre-Sanix tournament.

Interesting to see that several schools are going overseas preseason or mid-season. Francis Douglas MC is in Melbourne at the moment and will play several games in Australia. On Monday, they beat Melton Secondary College 62 - 10. They're playing Brighton Grammar later today.
Rotorua Boys are fundraising for a tour to Argentina, and St John's (Hastings) are also fundraising for a trip to Australia.
I assume there may be a few more teams doing the same.
