Auckland 1A champions Saint Kentigern College finished their season with a 21-3 win over Southland Boys' High School.

St Kent's commenced the contest with two quick tries and went on to lead 21-3 at halftime. Both sides missed chances to add to the scoreboard in the second spell but neither could capitalise.  Video highlights below. 

Hastings Boys’ High School have won the National Top Four for the first time after defeating Hamilton Boys’ High School 25-17 in a gripping final which featured six lead changes.
 
St Mary’s College beat Hamilton Girls’ High School to win the Girls final, while St Peter’s School beat Feilding High School 31-3 to win the Co-ed Cup final.

With three minutes remaining, Hastings was ahead 18-17 and Hamilton had the ball ten-metres shy of halfway. Hastings captain and loosehead Kianu Kereru-Symes won an inspirational penalty with a crunching tackle and steal at the ruck.

Hastings kicked inside the Hamilton 22 and despite an often wobbly lineout secured the ball cleanly and drove forward. Hamilton suppressed the maul, but were unable to stop Josiah Tavita-Metcalfe from scoring the winning try. The tighthead prop launched himself on to a short ball and steamed 10-metres to touch down under the posts. Fullback Danny Toala converted and it was curtains for a gallant Hamilton.

Earlier Hastings made a sensational start when first-five Lincoln McClutchie glided into a hole and put Kini Naholo in space. The Fijian flyer scored his 41st try of the season and it was 5-0 after two minutes.

Naholo was active early making a smashing tackle from an attacking high kick and then earning Hastings a five-meter scrum from a chip and chase. Hastings failed to add to their score though with Toala missing a sitter of a penalty shot.

Gradually Hamilton fought back. First-five Coby Miln kicked a penalty and after 13 minutes winger Josh Calvert was able to dash over in the corner following at least a dozen phases and powerful carries by tighthead Keelan Haten-McMullen and impressive loose forwards Tevita Fa’ukafa and Charles Alaimalo,

The soggy field became choppy terrain suiting Hamilton Boys.’ The Chiefs regional champions dictated the pace of proceedings Miln increased the lead to 14-5 with three penalties on the trot.

In the 16th minute McClutchie made another break and forced a five-metre scrum, but Hamilton was able to avoid any further damage.

In the last five minutes of the first-half, Hastings won three crucial ruck turnovers. Toala reduced the deficit with a penalty to make it 14-8 and another turnover led to attack inside the Hamilton 22.
 
Tavita-Metcalfe made a bullying run to carry Hastings to within inches of the posts and then  halfback Shamara Brooks ran for the first time capturing Hamilton by surprise. Toala converted and it was 15-14 to Hastings at halftime.
​
The second-half was a classic arm-wrestle with most of the play located between the two ten-metres lines.

Hamilton was also forced to swap goal kickers, but Fletcher Morgan was on target with his only penalty kick to make it 17-15 to Hamilton after 45 minutes. In the 47th minute Toala regained the lead for Hastings when he punished Hamilton for making a hash of the restart.  

In addition to Alaimalo and Fau’ukafa, lock Josh Lord and loosehead Matthew Kemp played outstanding finals and centre Tauterangimarie Kapea was difficult to halt at times.

For Hastings openside Jeriah Mau and No.8 Devan Flanders scrapped tenaciously and the latter was able to clean up a lot of messay ruck ball for Hastings. The workrate of props  Tavita-Metcalfe and Kereru-Symes was huge. In the backs McClutchie, Naholo and Toala all had an obvious impact.

Hastings was unbeaten in 21 games this season. They have become the lucky 13th unbeaten winner of the National Top Four.

Saint Kentigern College beat Southland Boys’ High School in the third-fourth playoff match.
​
In an unforgettable final game of their school careers for many of the players, St Kent’s led 21-3 at halftime and then 21-3 at fulltime.

The match promised plenty when St Kent’s flew in for two converted tries in the opening five minutes, one off  a lineout drive and the other through first-eighth Rivez Reihana who sliced through to score under the poles.

Reihana was almost in under the bar again, but was tripped up in a bootlace tackle.

The workmanlike Southlanders, featuring strong games throughout from the #5 locking, openside flanker and halfback positions, got themselves into the match and got on the board through a penalty. They missed two more penalty chances and then lost four consecutive lineouts as they dominated territory but failed to capitalise.

Instead, St Kent’s scored their third try and the final score of the match on the stroke of halftime, after a penalty and another lineout drive.
​
St Kent’s dominated most of the territory in the second half, while Southland held their own in the possession stakes and exerted scrum pressure. St Kent’s didn’t look like scoring in the second spell, while Southland were unlucky not to score a try at the very end in a strong finish and a late red card to the St Kent’s lock for a dangerous lift in a lineout. 

St Peter’s suffocate Feilding in Co-ed Cup Final

St Peter's Cambridge are National co-ed champions for the first time after a convincing 31-3 victory over a lacklustre Feilding High School.
​
The dominance of the St Peter’s forwards was best illustrated midway through the second-half when despite being reduced to 13 men, Feilding couldn’t score a point against the Chiefs co-ed champions.

With 20 minutes remaining Fielding was down 24-3 when the match threatened to turn in favour of the defending champions.

St Peter’s hooker Sean Chenery (cynical play) and lock Peni Finau (high tackle) were sin binned in quick succession as Fielding was held up over the try line.

However Fielding mistakes and a smart and tough rearguard by St. Peter’s foiled Fielding's challenge. Excellent around the corner, short-side forward running starved Fielding of the possession required to mount a comeback.

Feilding started in an encouraging fashion when fullback Drew Wild (who never stopped trying)  kicked the opening penalty and wing Coby Osborne was hauled down close to the line in the second minute.

However St Peter’s soon warmed to their work and openside Devin Gregory crossed the chalk after not being held in a tackle.

Centre PJ Latu expanded St Peter’s lead to 14-3 when he dashed 65-metres following an offload from standout No.8 Andrew Viane. Viane’s ability to offload was highly impressive and often created momentum for St Peter’s.

Wing Brodie Mitchell kicked a penalty to make it 17-3, but he should have scored a try as well when he dropped a pass in the clear.

Two minutes for the end Chenery scored the winning try after a long rolling maul. Feilding gradually fell apart as the strain of the St Peter’s forwards took its toll.

In the Co-ed playoff for third and fourth, St Andrew's College defeated Rangitoto College 27-17.

St Mary’s add Top 4 title to Condor 7s silverware
​
St Mary's College have won their first National Top Four title accounting for Hamilton Girls’ High School, 29-12. For St. Mary’s it’s a reversal of last year's final defeat to Southland Girls’ High School.

It blustery, soggy conditions, both teams produced an excellent spectacle which was perhaps closer than the final scoreline suggested.

The decisive moment of the match occurred six minutes into the second-half. Hamilton was hot on attack inside the St Mary's 22 and surrendered a tighthead. Powerful runs by St Mary's centres Dhys Faleafaga and Ana Puleiata were followed by a storming charge by loosehead Marianive Leota who rampaged 20-metres to the try line to make it 22-5.

The 17 -point margin was never lost by St. Mary’s, despite conceding the next try to Hamilton hooker Lena Mitchell.

Puleiata, absent on Friday due to netball commitments, added a lot of spark for the Wellington champions and scored the last try from multiple phase attack.

Faleafaga was potent early for St Mary’s making two clean breaks, but it was wing Te Araroa Sopoaga (sister of All Black Lima Sopoaga) who had the first say for St. Mary’s.

Opposite wing Paj Walker responded for Hamilton to equalise at 5-5, but St Mary’s gained the assecdney with tries to Puleiata and Faleafaga before the break.

Dangerous Hamilton centre Jazmin Hotham was relatively subdued and despite strong games by Hamilton forwards Alison Mills, Nyesha Hamilton and Rianna Ahokava, St Mary’s were worthy winners. 

(Hurricanes) Hastings BHS: 29 v (Blues) Saint Kentigern College 10
​
Hastings Boys' High School will seek to win their first National Top Four title on Sunday after reaching their second consecutive final at the expense of Saint Kentigern College.

Hastings used the breeze to great effect in the first-half to attain 68 percent of territory and build a 19-3 halftime lead.

Hastings abandoned their previous policy of not taking penalty kicks to convert four goals from eight St Kent's infractions in the first spell.

Fullback Danny Toala was twice on range from over 30-metres and accurate from closer to the posts too.

Prior to today Hastings had only kicked one penalty goal all season.

St Kent's lineout was shaky throughout and their scrum often in retreat. Hastings first try was scored by openside Jeriah Mua after a 15-metre lineout maul.

A penalty from St. Kent's first-five Rivez Reihana was the Auckland champions only points in the first-half.

Wing Peni Lasaqa bombed a certain try when he failed to pass with two unmarked men on his outside close to the goal line.

St Kent’s hammered away without profit in the opening stanza of the second period. The Hastings defense was abrasive and quick to make the most of turnovers.

Toala snaffled a fumble from near his posts and dashed 60-metres, before kicking ahead for No.8 Devon Flanders who was beaten to the ball by St Kent’s openside Mitchell Gibson.

Toala wouldn’t be denied a second time. Centre Dennon Robinson made a 50-metre outside break and put the fullback into the clear with a simple draw and pass.

Ahead 24-3, Hastings applied the icing when a high kick was allowed to bounce by St Kent’s and Mua collected the scraps and outpaced the defence.

Reihana scored a consolation try and converted impressively from the sideline for St Kent’s whose best was flanker Josh Retter who was tough over the ball and won at least three clean turnovers. Gibson wasn’t as potent at the ruck, but toiled gamley.

Mua continued his top form for Hastings. First-five Lincoln McClutchie played with his typical authority, lock Tane Hohipa was disruptive in the lineouts and prop Josiah Metcalfe-Tavita enhanced his growing reputation.

Of concern for Hastings is the fact halfback Folau Fakatava hobbled off injured in the first-half as he did in last year’s tourney.

(Chiefs) Hamilton Boys’ High School: 49 v (South Island) Southland Boys’ High School: 

Hamilton Boys’ High School will contest their sixth National Top Four final after trouncing Southland by a record score.

Last year Southland was beaten 41-0 by eventual champions Mount Albert Grammar School. Unfortunately today was even worse!

Southland started brightly enough winning a wealth of possession and making the occasional break. However handling inaccuracy would be brutally punished by a much larger and more dynamic opponent.

With the wind, Hamilton led 19-0 at halftime crossing for three tries and being denied a fourth when a knock on was detected by the television match official prior to a 60-metre bust by Hamilton second-half Quinn Tupaea, who worryingly hobbled off the field with a shoulder injury.  

Southland conceded early in the second-half and the floodgates opened. Hamilton maintained their momentum, despite emptying the bench.

Hamilton right wing Emoni Narawa scored three tries supporting breaks and illustrating power when required.

Openside Jake Russ was more like ’Jake the Mus’ when bullying his way through for the first try. No.8 Tevita Fa’ukafa was even more brutal in the second-half beating six defenders on his way to the line.
 
First-five Coby Miln, fullback Caleb Muntz, wing Josh Calvert and reserve outside back Fletcher Morgan also profited in the rout.

Hamilton centre Tauterangimarie Kapea and flanker Charles Alaimalo don’t feature on the scoresheet, but were unstoppable at times and instrumental in the creation of several five-pointers.

Southland tried gamely, but the gulf in standard between North Island and South Island secondary school rugby is alarming. Only twice since 2007 has a South Island school made the final.

Co-ed semi-finals

(Hurricanes) Feilding High School: 44 v (Blues) Rangitoto College: 3

Feilding High School will defend their title after trouncing Rangitoto College, 44-3.

Feilding in their eighth appearance at the co-ed since the inception in 2007 will seek a record fourth title.

Feilding scored eight unanswered tries with Griffin Culver (2), Mark Coogan, Layton Manuel, Josiah Maraku, Frank Prodger, Javiah Wharerau and Drew Wild crossing the chalk. Wild added two conversions.

Feilding was more polished than their lacklustre win in the Hurricanes Regional final against Wellington’s, Porirua College last Saturday. Unlike Aorere last week, Feilding didn’t concede four yellow cards!
 
(Chiefs) St Peter’s School: 48 v (South Island) St Andrew’s College (15)


It was the Cam Roigard and Bodie Mechell show in the first half of the second Co-ed Cup semi-final between St Peter’s School (Chiefs) and St Andrew’s College (South Island). 

Halfback Roigard scored a sizzling four first half tries and right wing Mechell ran in two as St Peter’s school sailed to a match-deciding 41-0 lead by  halftime.

Roigard was then subbed early in the second half, before St Peter’s scored their seventh try to take a 48-0 lead. St Andrew’s ran in three quickfire consolation tries at the end.

Playing with the strong wind, St Peter’s opened their scoring off a lineout drive. The halfback-right wing combination then crossed for five tries – the best an 80 metre intercept to Roigard that put the game beyond doubt.

The St Peter’s forwards were also strong in this match, laying a sound platform, while St Andrew’s didn’t get going until it was far too late, making too many mistakes and conceding soft turnovers. The bagpipes had largely fell silent by halftime. 

Hamilton Girls’ High School and St Mary’s College will contest Sunday’s Girls Top 4 rugby Final after winning contrasting semi-finals in extremely windy conditions at Massey University at Palmerston North on Friday.
​
In the first game, St Mary’s battled to a 22-17 win over Auckland’s Southern Cross Campus, while Hamilton Girls’ High took control of the second half to blow defending champions Southland Girls’ High School away 51-12.
Reports of the two games are below.
​
(Hurricanes) St Mary's College: 22 v (Blues) Southern Cross Campus: 17
​
St Mary's College won through to the final for the second consecutive year, eliminating Auckland champions Southern Cross Campus, 22-17.
 
St. Mary's always led, but was genuinely challenged by the elements and an abrasive, stubborn opponent.
 
Southern Cross attacked initially with promise, but failed to make any headway on the scoreboard.
 
After about 10 minutes, St Mary's scored the first try when they ventured into the Southern Cross 22 and lock Emma Brown strode through, casting aside meek defence.
 
St Mary's No.8 Dhys Faleafaga was exceptional for the Wellington champions again and extended the lead when she swatted aside three defenders and galloped 65-metres.
 
The halftime score was 12-0 to St Mary's.
 
Turning with the wind in their favour, Southern Cross was able to dominate territory early in the second spell. Big Luti Sikoloni was an effective battering ram, but it was her equally formidable teammate Tilila Hifo who barged over to reduce the deficit to 12-7.
 
St Mary's looked threatening when they spread the ball wide, not always easy in the conditions. Left wing Riarna Vulu outflanked the defence to make it 17-7.
 
Hifo responded for Southern Cross to make it 17-12. Powerful surges by impressive second-five Sarah Filimoeatu and flanker Oloataua Magele were instrumental in the set up.
 
St Mary’s was awarded a succession of penalties and Southern Cross was made to pay when right wing Malia Efaraimo-Leafe touched down in the corner following a nice pass by pivot Cheyne Copeland.
 
Centre Zoya To'ofohe scored a consolation try on fulltime for Southern Cross.
 
A litany of errors and poor management of the wind hampered both teams in a close, but unmemorable affair.

​(Chiefs) Hamilton Girls’ High School 51: v (South Island) Southland Girls’ High School 12:
 
Southland Girls’ reign as champions is over after succumbing to Hamilton Girls’ High School 51-12.
 
In marginally better conditions than the earlier semi-final, both teams started vibrantly exchanging tries with some expansive and skilful rugby.
 
Halfback Arorangi Tauranga opened Hamilton’s account before No.8 Jessica Dermody responded for Southland by striding 15-metres after an attacking scrum.
 
Hamilton took the lead when second-five Montessa Taikarena dotted down, but the game hung in the balance until a minute before the interval.
 
Hamilton had a defensive scrum five-metres out from their own line. Instead of kicking for touch centre Jazmin Hotham boldly chose to run. She stepped off the left foot to avoid the first defender, shrugged aside another attempted tackle and dashed 90-metres to complete a blockbuster.  See video of this try below.
 
Hamilton inspired by Hotham’s brilliance sized total control. Prop Rianna Aspinal smashed over from close range for a fourth try. Taikarena nabbed a second after a break of 30-metres and No.8 Lonita Ngalu pounced on a fumble to scamper 60-metres.
 
Southland never gave up and came back with a good consolation try. For Southland, No. 8 Dermody and first five-eighth Amy Du Plessis played well all match.
 
However, Hamilton crossed twice more before fulltime, one another breakout try, the second after another rapid build-up inside’s Southland’s 22
