Watch: Best of Condor 7s - Taufu Funaki Highlights
By RugbyPass
This week we're showcasing the best of the Condor 7s, the New Zealand secondary schools national Sevens competition.
First up - Taufu Funaki of Sacred Heart College, Auckland. Funaki lit up the tournament with explosive footwork coming off the bench for Sacred Heart. Funaki had one of the best steps going around, easily beating the first defender on many occasions, helping Sacred Heart into the quarterfinals of the Cup before elimination by Napier Boys.
Funaki was a Blues u18 representative in the fifteen man code and became the first choice halfback for the infamous New Zealand schoolboy side that toured Australia.

SBW’s bro’town commentary and lazy default to hyperbole should be ignored, a technical analyst he is not. Sotutu is a good player when games get goosey loosey, high skill set that fans of Zinzan recall with starry eyes. But you need power and mongrel at no8 in the Test arena and Sotutu gets found wanting there, much like Akira Ioane. No8’s like Zinzan and Ardie have bucketloads of mongrel and power and tenacity which allow the skill sets to flourish.
