@Stockcar86 Just read on their FB page that 8 players from the NBHS 1st XV team were unavailable due to injury, including their captain Josh Bokser and vice-captain Humphrey Sheild. Not sure whether they could have beaten Hamilton if these players had been available, but surely the score wouldn't have been that bad.
ahh, thanks for the update!

@Stargazer
We toured and played blackrock when I was at Lindisfarne. Really crazy history I think they had won about 90/110 ireland schools comps. Had about 1400 and 42 rugby teams. Think they beat us by about 20 points....ironically they asked if we were one of the top schools in the bay. We were like yeah HBHS only beat us by about 80 and NBHS by about 55.In other news http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=11890233

@Magpie_in_aus Bit early for stuff like that to be posted.
-
@Nepia that was stolen from an ex HBHS boy so don't blame me its them drinking the Kool aid! Pretty amazing though isn't it. Considering that doesn't include the Naki game the other day and potentially some others and pretty sure the 50 points includes 3 games in 7 days

I'm just hoping they can go all the way this year!

@Nepia what still hurts more 2016 or 2004?
-
@Magpie_in_aus 2004 - I know the coach of that team pretty well and they were cruising before half time.
-
@Nepia half the team are my mates heard a certain hooker shat the bed in the second half and didn't take control. That team was pretty special would love to see this current one playing. Those 02-04 NBHS vs HBHS battles were some pretty amazing teams.

That's definitely not what the coach says ....
That certain hooker pretty much carried the team in the games I saw them play in his couple of years (A particularly spiteful Hamilton Boys game where the ref acted like Garces, Rotorua, and Tauranga. I was living up in the Tron at the time so would go along to their away games). Carried might be too strong as they had some class performers across the field, but he did a lot of work that others should have been doing.
My cousin's kids were in the generation just above this lot ... they're gutted.

@Stargazer apprently the Lindisfarne game was 14-0 after the first half. Will they televise the HBHS vs HBHS game next week will be huge.
-
@Magpie_in_aus According to the TV schedule that they published early in the season, Sky will probably televise the Super 8 Final on Sat 12 August (not the 5 August game). Hopefully, they won't change their mind. Would be awesome if it's a home game.

@Number-10 It's also in the SKY TV guide. I'm glad we can finally watch them play. I hope they'll win with a bigger margin than last Saturday, which result was much closer than expected.
By the way, Napier BHS is also going on repeat this Saturday. Last week, they narrowly beat Palmy Boys in the Super 8. This Saturday they play them again in Napier in a Hurricanes region play-off match. Kick-off 12.30pm.
Not sure why Napier needs to play that game though. As far as I know, the 2 highest ranked Super 8 teams from the Hurricanes region are already automatically qualified for the Hurricanes competition. Napier is that second team (although they finished 4th behind Hastings, Hamilton & Rotorua). The schedule below seems to confirm that.
Apparently, Hastings also still have to play a Wellington team on Sat 19/8.
2017 Hurricanes competition - Schoolboys schedule:
Wed 23/8: challenger match between the Wellington Premiership runner-up (most likely Scots College) and a Hurricanes challenger team (I think that's a school not competing in Well Premiership and Super 8?)
Sat 26/8: semi-final between Wellington Premiership winner (Silverstream) v Super 8 second placed team (that should be Napier?) to be played in Wellington
Sat 26/8: semi-final between Super 8 first placed team (Hastings) v Wellington Premiership runner-up or the challenger team to be played in HastingsSat 2/9: Hurricanes Final
NZ Barbarians National 1st XV Championships (Top 4) - Sport & Rugby Institute, Palmerston North
Fri 8/9 semi-finals
Sun 10/9 finals -
