    New season, new thread. No doubt, Sky will soon release the list of secondary school games it will broadcast this season. Looking forward to seeing some new emerging talent ... and hopefully Hastings BHS win the Top 4 this year! 😀

    Anyone live in Gisborne? Interested to go watch Paarl Boys vs Gisborne BHS (1st of April) but would help knowing what time they start and where they're playing! Thanks in advance.

    @cheetahsBO Is Paarl touring NZ or is this a one-off game?

    I think they use 2nd XV players on the bench so yeah 70 odd players plus a whole lot of parents.

    They're going to be seeing a bit of the country with that itinerary. Gisborne BHS wasn't that strong last year.

    FYI - HBHS are playing a couple of pre-season fixtures in Auckland. St Kentigern's on 20/4 at SKC. I think they may also be Kings College but definitely SKC on 20th April.

    Bit late for Sacred Heart & St. Peter's scores but Paarl Boys High put up cricket scores against Gisborne. Really taken over from Grey College as the genuine superpower school in South Africa and look on track to go unbeaten this year as well if the strength of their 1st and 2nds is anything to go by

    @Bovidae How stupid is it that Hastings and MAGs don't have a match? You'd think they could have a traditional match for each of them - Hastings v Napier or another Super 8 team, instead Hamilton Boys get two games!

    Don't know why I'm whinging, I'm not even in NZ to watch it - must still be annoyed from The Walking Dead finale.

    @Nepia It's not just no Hastings BHS. There's not any Hawke's Bay school in that list at all. Absolute shambles! Not even the Palmerston North BHS v Napier BHS game for the Polson Banner.

    But 2 games from Hamilton BHS, Auckland Grammar, Christchurch BHS, St Kentigern and Christ's are televised. Shithouse.

    I'm sure Sky decides where they want to broadcast games from, as there is a bit of planning involved with scaffolding for cameras, OBU etc. Coming to Hamilton and Tauranga from Auckland isn't that much hassle.

    I was surprised when I saw the list but Hastings could still feature live on TV in the Super 8 final.

    Good to see a few more South Island games this year, coverage in other years has been dominated by North Island games.

    Apparently, it wasn't a hassle in previous years, when the games were spread all over the country. I also don't see how it's less of a hassle to broadcast a game in Southland than in Taranaki, Wellington, Nelson or Hawke's Bay.

    @Stargazer Budget restrictions and the Lions tour are given as reasons in the NZH article. The total number of games has been reduced from 49 to 30.

    Yeah, I noticed. I actually hope that regional sports organisations like Sport Hawke's Bay, College Sport Wellington etc will become more active in promoting local schools and club games by organising livestreams online or radio (with commentary). It's not that hard and shouldn't be that expensive? Radio Eketahuna broadcasts all Wai-Bush games and important local club games. There's also a radio station in Wellington (I can't remember the name) that broadcasts a lot of games. That should become normal practice for games that are not on tv. I can live without a tv broadcast if there is an alternative to follow a game live via another medium.
