Rugby<br />
Rugby is a big part of the college and<br />
has been for a number of years. This<br />
year the rugby teams faced some tough<br />
competition, but this did not stop them<br />
turning up week after week.<br />
All of our rugby teams showed a lot of heart and drive<br />
to continue to train and play no matter what kind of<br />
weather was thrown at them. I would like to thank<br />
Nathan Samu for coaching our girls’ rugby team this<br />
year. They were entered into the 10-a-side competition<br />
and came in at 5th place.<br />
Our first 1st XV started in the 1B Pool 2 Division and<br />
because they placed in the top 8 half-way through the<br />
season, they were moved up to the 1B plate. The team<br />
played well together and ended up coming 6th place<br />
overall. A very big thank you to Piri and Dee for taking<br />
time out from their family to support our school and the<br />
boys.<br />
Our Under-15 Boys rugby team was coached by AJ<br />
Iupati and had a tough season this year. Many boys<br />
moved to the 1st XV and other grades. It was a year of<br />
rebuilding and working on different combinations of<br />
play. There were many good lessons learnt this year by<br />
the players, and this will lead to a stronger team in the<br />
future.<br />
A special thank you to Remer for coaching the 2nd<br />
XV Boys team this year. A special mention to Kerehi<br />
Warwick who stepped up as a Manager and made sure<br />
that the boys were prepped and ready for their games.<br />
'All of our rugby<br />
teams showed<br />

and drive to<br />
continue to<br />
train and play<br />
no matter<br />
