2020 NZ Schools
-
@chchfanatic The Chiefs U18 1st 5 is also a year 12 (Taha Kemara from Hamilton BHS) so not uncommon in the NI either. He's made the 50 for the NZ Schools teams.
-
@Bovidae none of the crusaders players are first 5.
-
@chchfanatic Thanks. Maybe there are two from the Blues region. It would be good to get a breakdown by position of the squad.

@Bovidae said in 2020 NZ Schools:
Interesting also that even though the Crusaders have a reputation of producing 1st 5s this is the second time in recent years they have a 1st 5 from the NI. Previously it was Fergus Burke (St Paul's Collegiate) and now Jack Parker (NPBHS).
There was certainly a proliferation there for a while, but it wasn't gonna last forever. Maybe the STAC 10 from the latter part of the season might come through.

Teams have been named, and not what I was expecting.
Live on SS1 at 11:10 am today. I'll go along and watch.

Have watched the game,and was most impressed with the talent on display.We continue to talk of the quality of the schoolboy game and this crop no exception. This game was a pleasure to watch.Good on the scouts who found the players for the two teams.I thought the winning team played with a bit more connection.
-
Yes they are like cattle buyers,casting their eyes over a pen of weaners!!
-
From Dargaville to Dunedin,how on earth do they value the boys against each other,but I didn’t think any of the selected were out of their depth.The time old lack of very tall beefy locks was probably evident,but they still played well.

Sorry I stand corrected.
