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.
