Last week some of biggest traditional rugby schools in New Zealand competed in the national u15 tournament, an annual event where teams from both islands converge for a week long festival of rugby. The skill level and talent on display is exactly what you would expect from New Zealand rugby, showcasing pure athleticism (speed, agility & power) with skills (offloads, stepping, rugby nous). The tournament provides a leading indication of which big name school is building towards New Zealand 1st XV supremacy in the coming years.

On arrival back to Christchurch, the team was welcomed back by fellow schoolmates with this haka:
