Sanix Rugby World Champions on form at St Pauls
The Hamilton Boys’ High School 1st XV Rugby team played their first post-Sanix World Cup winning game in New Zealand yesterday afternoon. The kick off was at 3.30pm, on a gloomy, damp pitch. The conditions deteriorated significantly as the game progressed, affecting the visibility and the quality of play. Hamilton Boys’ High School dominated the first half of the game; Kirtis McNaughten performing particularly well under increasing difficult circumstances. All 36 of HBHS’ points were scored in the first half. St Paul’s led a spirited come-back in the second forty minutes, but they were only able to score 12 as the weather closed in.
The 1st XV have recovered from their travel to Japan and are now becoming more focused on the grueling season ahead of them. It was wonderful to be able to use the new gymnasium to welcome them back, and to see their achievements covered by One News, Maori TV and the New Zealand Herald.
