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.

It is so good that we now all get excited and debate who is best and emotionally get involved. We all back our teams which is great. Up until about 15-20 years ago, NZ was basically on its own, and then Saffa, Aussie and sometimes French and English were there. We now have at least 5-6 really top sides and another 4 who keep improving. This is so healthy. So we should not resort to rubbish comments and unhealthy debate, but rather all be chuffed that the product we watch is not competitive, exciting and often uncertain. It would be so good if World Rugger could find a way to align the rules to professional players as well as spectators. Live rugby games are SO boring as there is SO much down time as we wait for refs and TMOs and whoever else to look at every small event going back endless phases with the hope of eventually find a minute infringement to then decide cancel what was a wonderful try. This is the ultimate cork back in the bottle moment and feels like every balloon is always being popped. Come on- we must be better with the rules.
Go to comments“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
