Watch: Best of Condor 7s - Quinn Tupaea Highlights
By RugbyPass
This week we’re showcasing the best of the Condor 7s, the New Zealand secondary schools national Sevens competition.
Next up, New Zealand Schoolboys captain Quinn Tupaea of Hamilton Boys High School. Tupaea is an established 1st XV player for HBHS, captaining the side to a shared Super 8 title and leading the team to a national title game appearance this year, which he cruelly missed after sustaining an injury in the semi-final.
Tupaea is one of the top-ranked prospects in the country, having represented the Chiefs u18 side and captain New Zealand schools.
He was his usual dominant self at the Condor 7s - solid and physical defence, deceptive footwork with breakaway speed. Tupaea was one of four Hamilton Boys to make the team of the tournament after they won their third consecutive title, beating Scots College 21-10 in the final.

No just because the personal is much better than last year. I've shown no antagonism of Crusader players, you must be confusing me with someone else.
I have critized Razor for picking players he knows occasionally?
I said I'm not surprised because of his style, he's more a grinder player like Cane, not going to show up on peoples radar until you see how bad the other choices are. This year players like Clarke have been on fire and just show a bit more.
Are you one of those posters continually taking it easy on Razor because he doesn't have his Crusaders stars available? Do you think the rugby world is going to up to him suddenly once Mo'unga returns? lol
Go to commentsJohn you have been beating this drum for a couple of years, if you get proven right get back to us.
The last recent and decent Aussie coach was Ewen McKenzie, he was undermined and forced out by a couple of slimy Aussie players who were given a free pass when they should have been disciplined.
So our history since McQueen is very checkered and it seems to make little difference whether we have an Aussie coach or a Kiwi coach. The players have been entitled for a long time and we had to hit bottom to get them back into reality and to stop thinking it is all about them.
Cheika was an OK coach but his 'go our and destroy the opposition' tactic worked for a while and then didn't.
Please give me a list of great Aussie coaches that I have missed.
