The Season - St Pats Silverstream - Episode 2
By RugbyPass
In association with Onion TV Productions, RugbyPass brings you The Season, Series 3 with St Pats Silverstream 1st XV. An all-access look inside one of New Zealand’s iconic rugby colleges as the 1st XV edges closer to re-writing the record books in the school’s esteemed 86-year sporting history.
Stream holds off a gallant performance from St. Pats Town as the favourites eventually secure victory and Luke Mannix is awarded the prestigious ‘Belt’. A timely reunion of the 1988 First XV adds inspiration to the current generation of players, and both teams are able to appreciate each other’s achievements.
Wellington College are bravely dispatched in the Semi-Final which sets up a mouth-watering Premiership final against Stream’s greatest foe. Father John Walls explains how faith plays a large role in the school’s life with Ollie Wrigley chats with his captain about their respective futures.
Catch up on Episode 1 here.
The Season, Series 3 will be available on RugbyPass in New Zealand following December 24.

Which people exactly?

They were slow and likely arrogant in their prep following the England series. You can see the effect on the selection and poor messaging all the playmakers started receiving from the coaching setup there after.
Otherwise though there was also a lot of really good stuff that can too easily be labelled as lucky by people intent on making a point. The team was far from certain and clinical though and the best that can be said of their losses was that they were largely due to some atrocious decisions with cards twice against SA and the neckroll last weekend (you can't take away the 14 point try, that is typical French rugby and to be expected).
This team is good enough to be able to cope with those sorts of difficulties if they could just execute a bit better (but only as well as they have traditionally mind you). Sound selections aside. Some good positivity in this article but we know it's not going to be easy as the ABs have just been trying to return to their DNA after Fosters control but countries like Aussie have a much bigger task in that respect and SA is even trying to change their DNA (again). Those two opponents (along with France obviously) are going to provide some tough competition in seeing who can lead into the 2027 RWC with the best prospects and form behind them.
