NZ schoolboys show off talent at National Tournament
By RugbyPass
Last week some of biggest traditional rugby schools in New Zealand competed in the national u15 tournament, an annual event where teams from both islands converge for a week long festival of rugby. The skill level and talent on display is exactly what you would expect from New Zealand rugby, showcasing pure athleticism (speed, agility & power) with skills (offloads, stepping, rugby nous). The tournament provides a leading indication of which big name school is building towards New Zealand 1st XV supremacy in the coming years.
After a tightly contested week, Hamilton Boys High School & Christchurch Boys High school contested the final which saw the boys from the south come away with a tight 22-18 win. Hamilton Boys 1st XV also contested the national title game in the weekend, going down to Hastings Boys 25-17.
On arrival back to Christchurch, the team was welcomed back by fellow schoolmates with this haka:
