Why on earth would I want to watch that when I know the score?

Because they have the team lists at the start. No need to watch the rest.

I heard Auckland Grammar were resting their players with injuries and niggles for the game ahead this week against Kelston.
Still surprised they lost with their 2nd XV though.

AGS didn't like losing either.

The Dilworth/Auckland Grammar saga proves we take rugby way too seriously

After Dilworth beat arch-rivals Auckland Grammar, sore losers immediately got to work undoing the historical result.

Hurt to like this! Bit of a surprise thats for sure, particularly given the round 2 encounter was a resounding 41-8 win.

Westlake have an early game this week, 3.30pm tomorrow vs TGS as its TGS school ball on friday night

[JK]

Westlake 80 - 0 TGS

Ouch

[African Monkey]

@Bovidae Typical Grammar.

Obviously hurting from that previous loss...

@JK One of the Mayhew boys (Richard?) is coaching them now.

[JK]

@Mr-Fish Kinda. But TGS just suck. They have a very young and small squad that includes a number of year 10 and 11 kids

Oh when did he get involved? I thought Che and Rob Mildenhall were still doing it, plus Luke McAllister had joined this year.

Super 8
Hamilton BHS 18 - 20 Tauranga BC

This game summed up HBHS's season so far. They scored 3 tries to 2 but missed 4 of the 5 shots at goal, including having a conversion charged down from a late try and then missing a kickable penalty with time up. Three different goal kickers have been used throughout the season.

It's also the end of an era as this was coach Nigel Hotham's last game in charge before he heads to Hong Kong. Nigel has been the 1st XV coach since 2003.

@JK Mayhew is coaching Rosmini.

Oh right, makes much more sense. Didnt pick up you were referring to them...

Hamilton GHS won the Chiefs Manawa competition.

Chiefs region Girls rugby results

• Kaokaoroa won the Waikato Girls U15's

• Cambridge High School won the Waikato Girls U17's

• James Cook High School won the Counties Girls 12 aside.

For the Top Four Chiefs region play offs, I expect the Girls reps from Counties to come from Wesley, Manurewa HS or Rosehill College. Wesley played in the Manawa comp and the other two are in the Auckland competition.

1st XV Boys Chiefs Top 4 Playoff

13 July 2024

I expect the winner to play Wesley.
