I'm surprised Papali'i didnt make it. He was destructive for MAGS.

Signing with the Warriors won't have helped.
I'm surprised Tupaea makes the team and his Ham BHS teammate Poihipi didn't.
And no Tom Florence? He was injured vs Ham BHS so might not be available

In 2016, sixteen teams will compete across two divisions (premiership and championship) for the Graham Mourie Cup and Michael Jones Trophy. In the premiership, Canterbury will be looking to make it back-to-back titles after taking out Waikato 41-35 in the final last year.

I am sitting here watching the North Harbour v Bay of Plenty match and just in the first half hour it has shown a lot of why NZ is so far ahead of everyone else in rugby. The match is being played at a fast clip with a lot of continuity thanks to fast recycling as well as some delightful offloads, the attacking skill levels are also very encouraging. The offloading skills have been shown by all players regardless of the number on their backs, helped of course by some very good support play ensuring players are there to carry the attack on. The support play I guess shows that for NZers it is almost instinctive for guys to know where they should be, when they should be there and what to do when they are there. OK some of the defensive patterns are not the best but guys this age are generally more concerned with getting forward on attack whilst the complexities of defensive systems becomes more important as they get older and progress up the rungs of the ladder. Kicking out of defense is almost an afterthought at this age and it sort of shows when used.
I am thoroughly enjoying watching these young men in this match. Helped by being played in beautiful sunny and not cold conditions, ahhhh the delights of day time rugby.

Papali'i signed with the Junior Warriors. His MAGS coach told me he's kinda regretting it as this season he's come to understand the breakdown laws and is loving his time as an openside flanker. They think he might come back to Union after his two years.
Etene Nanai (St Kents) is another to miss selection having signed for the Warriors. He's probably the best fullback in the country even though he has a year left at school. Word on the street is the Chiefs are trying to get him to break his Warriors contract.
-
@Wurzel Eteni Nanai Plays a lot like Melani. Any Relation?
A lot of kids sign deals with NRL sides before they start regretting them. I suppose it's hard for them to turn them down being so young and having contracts waved in their faces with NRL scouts everywhere these days.

He's actually cousin of Tim Nanai-Williams, who he's more similar in size and style too. Melani is a different specimen altogether from my observations.
-
Yeah, his cousin is TNW. I don't think he has any relation to Melani.
I've seen some good fullbacks in school rugby up here over the years, but Etene Nanai would top them all. I first saw him play 1st XV when he was 14, and I couldn't believe that that was his age because he looked way too good for someone that young.
I don't think any rugby team had a chance of getting him when a league team is willing to offer him a 5 year contract at 16. That's an insane deal for someone that young, but it also shows how highly rated he is. I guess the good thing is that he's at least with the hometown team, but I'm not sure if the Warriors are the right team to nurture his talents.

5th-6th play-off: Manawatu (13) -(13) Otago (after 10 minutes of golden point extra time, it was still 13 all; Otago took the win as they scored two tries to one in regular time.) -
@Stargazer Wellington scored the winning try well after normal time to avoid going to extra time.
Well done the Waikato boys after the heartbreak of losing late in last years final. I watched parts of the game. Waikato started strongly and had a healthy lead before Auckland stormed back and made the final a cliffhanger at the end.
-
Was going to post the other day but forgot.
Cheers for the updates, Stargazer. I found some highlights of the Graham Mourie Cup final:
Couldn't find the Michael Jones Trophy final, sadly.

The Head Coach of NZ Schools is Jason Holland (Hurricanes Assistant Coach). Some of the Hastings BHS must have seriously pissed him off this season; how else would you explain that none of them made it in the NZ Schools squad? Hastings BHS were only beaten once this season. In the National Top 4 final. Geez, I find it incomprehensible! Four of the Hastings Boys in the NZ Barbarians Schools squad is a small consolation price after such a great season.
-
@Stargazer Selection in this team is always at the whim of the coach. Obviously Holland was determined to pick as many sons of former players as possible. I can't believe Slater is one of the hookers as when I've seen him play his lineout throwing and scrummaging have been average.
