St Andrew’s skipper selected<br />
at hooker in NZ Schools team<br />
SPORTS<br />
BACK TO FORWARD: Former St Andrew’s College player<br />
Shilo Klein moved from second-five to hooker and has<br />
been selected in the New Zealand Schools side.<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
SPEED AND power are<br />
two attributes needed in the<br />
modern-day hooker.<br />
But 18-year-old Shilo Klein<br />
has something else too: He’s a<br />
natural midfielder.<br />
The St Andrew’s College<br />
student, who moved from<br />
second-five to hooker last year,<br />
was one of 25 named in the<br />
New Zealand Schools side to<br />
play three games against two<br />
Australian and a Fijian team<br />
in Sydney.<br />
He didn’t play in the 54-7<br />
demolition of the Fijian<br />
Schools side on Thursday.<br />
Christ’s College first XV<br />
captain and centre Isaiah<br />
Punivai was also named in the<br />
New Zealand Schools side.<br />
Klein was also included<br />
in the Crusaders Academy<br />
for next year and is looking<br />
forward to making a career<br />
out of rugby.<br />
He weighs in at 105kg and<br />
is 180cm. He’s well-suited to<br />
the forward pack, first XV cocoach<br />
Mike Johnston said.<br />
“The skills he learnt at<br />
second-five has helped out as<br />
a hooker. He has developed<br />
some really good passing skills<br />
and lines to run out in those<br />
wider channels,” he said.<br />

“We thought he would be a<br />
good fit in that position and<br />
that has been proved correct<br />
with his selection in the New<br />
Zealand Schools side.”<br />
Klein, who was born in<br />
Sacramento, California, said it<br />
was a no-brainer to move into<br />
the forward pack.<br />
“I had a lot of feedback that<br />
this position would suit my<br />
style of play. I played like a<br />
forward in the backline, I ran<br />
straight and looked for good<br />
physical go-forward,” he said.<br />
It took him a few attempts to<br />
feel comfortable in the middle<br />
of a scrum, but now he loves it.<br />
“In my first scrum, I felt<br />
claustrophobic, but I got used<br />
to it,” he said.<br />
Klein captained St Andrew’s<br />
this year, leading them to fifth<br />
in the UC Championship and<br />
third in the co-ed cup in the<br />
New Zealand Barbarians first<br />
XV championship.<br />
He moved to Christchurch<br />
when he was three with his<br />
parents, Howard and Wendy.<br />
“I play the sport in one way<br />
or another all year round,<br />
as I play touch and sevens<br />
also. I really want to play<br />
professionally some day,” he<br />
said.<br />
