School / College Representation in Super Rugby 2018
-
Anyone got any stats on this? Are they available anywhere?
My old joint has a decent number at the moment in Super squads (not as many as the mid-2000's perhaps), but I'm sure the large Auckland schools and also the likes of CBHS would dwarf those numbers. Would be curious to see some stats. Who'd be the leading school by current representation - MAGS, St Kentigerns, CBHS? This might be a little damning for Auckland and the Blues!
The best way of measuring it - although far from accurately - might be for Ferners to list known Old Boys?
I'll chuck mine below, but one thing which I must say niggles me is that none of them are Crusaders, or ever have been. One of them was a blatant 7th Form (whatever that is these days) poach, but counts nonetheless.
St Bedes College, Christchurch
Elliott Dixon
James Lentjes
Siate Tokolahi
James Tucker
Solomon Alaimalo -
Nelson College has six, I think. All Crusaders!
Wyatt Crockett
Quinten Strange
Ethan Blackadder
Mitchell Drummond
Mitchell Hunt
David HaviliEdit - seven...Ben May.
Last year James Lowe was on the list - next year James Marshall will be back.
-
Does Wyatt count for NC or OBHS??

So the complaint a few years back that all the Tasman players were going to the Chiefs and Highlanders now isn't relevant? And the ones that aren't playing for the Crusaders aren't Tasman originals anyway? Thnking Squire, Frizzell. What about Ainley?
-
Fielding Ag must have a few.
S Whitelock
L Whitelock
A Smith
C TaylorI recall seeing Koroi and Dawai playing for them. Not sure they have SR contracts though.
plus .... ?
-
Thinking about Christchurch schools, the only STAC old boy I can think of is Richie Mo'unga. Not sure if Hamish Dalzell was STAC or maybe Bedes actually. And I forgot Billy Harmon for SBC. Damien McKenzie was Christs College, but a poach from Southland as a senior, plus Joe Moody. Trying to think of CBHS old boys:
ALB
Fletcher Smith
Josh McKay
Will Jordan
Tim Bateman
Owen Franks
Matt Todd
Brodie Retallick
Luke RomanoThere are bound to be more....
-
I'm going to confidently proclaim Queen Elizabeth College: 1
Nehe Milner-Skudder.

Franks, Romano and Crotty were all born in Nelson - add in Perry, Samu, Makalio, Taufua - we're carrying you Canterbury fuckers!
Not sure where Alex Ainley went to school and a quick google doesn't tell me. Plays club rugby for Wanderers so Waimea College is a reasonable guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is another player as their sole rep from a non-traditional rugby school.
Example: Luke Jacobson (Cambridge HS)
Kane Hames might be the only player from Trident HS.

@stargazer
Lindisfarne College
George Bridge
Israel Dagg
Hugh Renton - Played for Crusaders in June break
Tiaan Falcon -
@footy01 I already included Lindisfarne. Forgot George Bridge; left out Renton on purpose because he's not in the Crusaders squad. For the same reason, I didn't add Caleb Makene under Napier Boys.
-
@stargazer Damn, that's a low number for Hastings Boys ... might improve in the next few years. Did Sam Anderson-Heather make the field on the weekend? If so he can be included.
Look at all those poaches in the Napier Boys team though.
-
@nepia Yep, Anderson-Heather played last week. Have added him.
The number of Napier Boys' will decrease next year, with West leaving, Kirkpatrick maybe retiring, and I fear, also Sam McNicol if his health issues continue. Definitely expect some of last year's champions from Hastings to make SR, esp Flanders, Fakatava, Toala and Kini Naholo. Just not sure how soon.

I'd be surprised if those four especially don't make it.
I wonder if the Canes will actually show some sense and lock up Fakatava and Flanders (especially) or if they'll have to find their way in other teams like Bucky and Tu'u.

Sio TomkinsonVaea Fifita also went to Tamaki College. Tayler Adams who is contracted to the Rebels went to Kelston Boys as did Scott Scrafton before the usual St Kents poach came in. Also forgot to add Matthew Johnson to the St Peters College list. Marcel Renata went to Kings College as did Baylin Sullivan and Sione Havili and Nathan Vella went to Auckland Grammar.

I totally forgot about Sullivan. Spent most of his school years at Napier Boys.
