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.
-
-
@Higgins It's primary and intermediate school only. As I said in my previous post, they may not have passed Year 8.
Oh, and another difference is that the HBU14 team is - as far as I know - boys only. Ross Shield teams can be mixed.
Edit: just realised you probably mean that the HBU14 team is open to first year HS players if they are U14. Yep, that's possible. Looking at an earlier post, it names the schools of the trialists. It looks like they're all high school students.
-
@Stargazer yes I believe it is U14 level where they dont allow the girls to play in the boys teams, but can in U13 level, think this is nationwide...was a girl from Northland named in the Roller mIlls tournament team last year, but not sure if she is playing at all this year.
What is the Ross Shield?
Possibly the same as our Taniwha Shield? which is being played currently, U13 kids that are year 8 and under and also restricted to 57kg which are the sub-union teams who compete (Rodney, Northern Wairoa, 3 Whangarei teams, Bay of Islands, Mangonui, Hokianga) and from there they select kids for the Northland Roller MIlls team
-
@taniwharugby Yes, I think it's similar.
I just found this Ross Shield 2015 Programme. It contains quite a lot of interesting info about the tournament.

This Tui's team looks like it could be best team since the 2006 team set the benchmark for the Tui's. That 2006 team, finished 3rd in the 1st division round robin and was the first team to beat Auckland in the history of the women's championship, which started in 1999. Auckland had won 50 straight games from 1999 until the Tui's beat them 15-13.
The Tui's then lost the semi-final 10-24 to Auckland. -

I wasn't sure where else to post this.
One of four Hawke's Bay players in the New Zealand Marist Colts side which is on a four-match tour of Poverty Bay and Hawke's Bay, Teddy, is relishing the opportunity to receive tips from the team's head coach Steve McDowall who played 81 matches, including 46 tests for the All Blacks from 1985 to 1992.The youngest of the Bay quartet, Teddy, had 25 minutes off the bench at hooker in Saturday's 79-21 drubbing of the Poverty Bay Development team in Gisborne. On Monday he had 70 minutes as the starting tighthead prop and scored a try in a 29-7 victory against a Wairoa Selection in Wairoa.He is expecting to mark some familiar players including clubmate Lee Moleli when the tourists take on a combined Hastings Rugby and Sports-Napier Old Boys Marist Colts XV at Elwood Park from 6pm today and a Saracens XV in the curtainraiser to the Magpies Mitre 10 Cup Championship match against the Wellington Lions at Napier's McLean Park on Friday night. After this tour the apprentice builder's attention will return to the Hawke's Bay under-19 team's campaign.The Hastings Rugby and Sports trio of loosie Fale Matamata, lock JJ Scales and first five-eighth Shamara Brooks are the other Bay players in the New Zealand Marist Colts team. Hastings-based New Zealand Marist Rugby Federation general manager Neil Murphy said all four Bay players have performed well to date and he has been impressed with how well the squad has gelled during the short time it has been together. Players from all 31 New Zealand Marist clubs are represented in the squad. The concept of the New Zealand Marist Colts tour began in 1974 and each year a different region of the country is visited.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=12258233
