2024 School Rugby

Manurewa HS and Pukekohe HS would be the two best Counties teams unless Wesley joins also. OAS/Tuakau combined won counties two years in a row but would probably be the fourth best Counties based team.

There is a new Catholic college that has opened that is between Drury and Pukekohe (St Ignatius) I don't know how good they will be. Puke High would have lost students to there.

St Stephens/Tipene at Bombay will re-open in 2025 (Y9/10 to start) so if this continues 1A could be a goal for them.

The proposed promotion-relegation system would also allow the opportunity for an extra school to be promoted to 1A.

Some preseason results that I have noted - new here - and since no one else published I might as well start

St John’s Hamilton
45-0 over Tangaroa College
0-45 against St Paul’s College (Auckland)
28-7 over Sacred Heart College

St John’s College Hastings
27-26 over NOBM Colts

Lindisfarne
53-14 over Rathkeale

In one of the biggest upsets in SA school history, Jeppe Boys beat Grey College at the Nord/Suid festival on Monday, 22-19. It is the first time Grey have lost at this festival in their history, and the first time that they have ever lost to a boys school from Johannesburg.

This seems to be a new initiative.

Anyone have results of preseason games so far?

I heard St Kents beat Hastings Boys 24-20.. not sure if correct scoreline..

A nice little fact:

A unique achievement for the Withy family, with Taine named as the captain of our First XV for 2024 - taking the team to Japan and beyond.
Taine's brother Sean captained the side in 2018, while Aaron captained the side in 2021 - and now three years later, it’s Taine's turn.
