as a south african I notice how small in physique these schoolboys compared to our boys here but i guess they grow fast after high school , the skillset is impressive though some future stars here, it would be interesting if there could be a College world Cup with the the best shools from top 4 nations in world rugby , it would be costly but im world rugby could fit half the bill.
There is the Sanix world schools tournament most years. But you cant read too much into the results as often a large chunk of the team have left school by the time the tournament comes around & it's out of season for some teams around the world.
I enjoy watching schoolboy rugby from the South Island colleges. The rugby is more pure than watching the upper North Island schools with their reliance on big boofhead players on scholarships.
Thank you so much for posting this. First CBHS vs College game I've been able to see since I left CBHS in 1966!
Good to see hoppo again used to go to Iona college in Brisbane with him
This takes me back to watching big brodie retallick just lumber up the guts being unstoppable.

@@hbmcgregor Why would you assume big boof heads are islanders?
@@Waywind420 Who else do you think they're talking about ?
Salty boy lol
This game is based on scholarships too.
