I've bolded the name of Cooper Flanders. So he's still an U16 player and already plays 1st XV for Hastings. One to watch for the future. Other Hastings 1st XV players from last Saturday's game on the list are Mefi Tupou (the try scoring wing), Phillip Panapa-King, Manahi Goulton, Fraser Taurima-Heperi and Donny Godinet. I also see the names of - I assume - the brothers Leutele Malasia, Jock Kilmister, Rakai Henare and Nick Ennor, who played for Napier 1st XV, last Saturday. -

Be interesting to see what opponents the HBRU can get for this Under 14 team considering about 13 provinces so far have scrapped rep teams below Under 16 level. Last year this team played Under 14 teams from Manawatu and Waikato.
May well be the last year the HBRU operates this Under 14 team.
-
@Number-10 as far as I am aware, Northland still have thiers, as do Taranaki I think?
Am thinking next year it will likely be nationwide that NZR will just make a directive.
-
@Number-10 @taniwharugby Manawatu have U13 trials this week, so I assume they'll be able to field an U14 team again this year.
-
@Stargazer said in 2019 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby:
so I assume they'll be able to field an U14 team again this year.
Northland had trials for thier inter-provincial tournament about 6 weeks ago, much earlier than normal, I wonder if it was in order to get everything underway before someone could can it?
Have to assume Roller MIlls is in doubt this year though with the teams out.
-
@taniwharugby What age bracket is Roller Mills?
-
@Stargazer at intermediate, U13, weight restricted too, last year was Under 57kg.
-
Thus far, I've seen several provinces still holding u13 or u14 trials. At least, Hawke's Bay (U14), Manawatu (U13), Wanganui (U14), Thames Valley (U14) and Poverty Bay (U14). Don't know about other provinces, but whatever happens next year, they will have teams to play against this year.
-
@Stargazer NOrthland have thier sub-Union provincial U13 tournament over the school holidays, form that the Roller MIlls team is usually named (we also have one boy from our U14 team trialling in the U13 open weight team this weekend too) I have a mate who's son has been selected for the Waikato U13 team, so assume they must still be doing it.
I'd be surprised if NZR dont pull the plug from the top for next year.

@Stargazer Edu is Simons son - Will’s cousin .
You will find amongst all these HB boys are related one way or another lol ☺️ -
I think they should cut a lot of these rep teams and just let the boys enjoy their rugby for the season . Finding too many boys are feeling the pressure , too early then quitting . Some of our greatest Rugby players started in their last years at high school , or at Colts level.
-
Yep, be interesting see what occurs next year as regards under-age teams.
When the NZR secondary schools report was released in February, the NZR sent a letter out to the provinces that in their (NZR) opinion under age rep teams should start at under 17 level. All age grades below this should be catered for by development programmes.

@Higgins No, it isn't. This is the Hawke's Bay rep team. The initial trialists are nominated by their school.
This is from the HBU14 FB page:
Hi guys, with the season due to start any day now, the coaching/management team have already been out and about watching preseason games, training's and trials at schools. The schools will soon put together a list of nominated players to attend trials, the dates are still yet to be announced. From there we will select a group of around 35 boys to attend a 3 day camp at Lindisfarne during the July school holidays. This camp will allow the selectors to pick a squad for the 2019 season.The Ross Shield tournament is usually held in the last week of September. At the end, they name a tournament team, the Hawke's Bay Ross Shield team, that plays one or two games in October.
The Ross Shield tournament is for players who are U14, have not passed year 14 and, I think, have to weigh under 57kg.
All the participating teams hold trials, too, obviously.
