NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday March 5 2019 13 Top school rugby player SPORT pushes for NRL start • By Gordon Findlater FORMER BURNSIDE High first XV player Mikaele Ravalawa looks set to be the latest young Christchurch league convert to make his mark on the NRL. Ravalawa scored two tries for the St George Illawarra Dragons in their 18-10 win over the Newcastle Knights in a preseason trial match. In 2016, the Fijian winger finished as the UC Championship’s top try scorer after crossing the line 14 times for Burnside. He was then picked up by the Canberra Raiders and went on to be named the club’s under-20 player of the year before moving to the Dragons this year. Ravalawa showed his ability against the Knights, brushing past five defenders to score from a desperate play that seemed to be going nowhere. Australian media have now started drawing comparisons between the 21-year-old and Fijian NRL legend Noa Nadruku. He would join several other former Christchurch school rugby players who have switched to league. Last year Shirley Boys’ High School and St Bede’s College first XV product, RISING STAR: Mikaele Ravalawa, who scored 14 tries for Burnside High School in the 2016 UC Championship, crossed the line twice for the Dragons in a trial match. Jamayne Isaako, was named NRL rookie of the year and also finished as the competition’s top points scorer. Meanwhile, 2016’s most outstanding player in the UC Championship – Cruz Topai- Aveai – could also be set to make his NRL debut after being named in the Cronulla Sharks squad. GOLD: Isabella Carter (right) teamed up with Grace Loveridge to win the under-20 women’s coxless pair at the New Zealand Rowing Championships. Rangi girls in the medals at NZ rowing champs FORMER RANGI Ruru Girls’ School students were among the medals at the New Zealand Rowing Championships held on Lake Ruataniwha in Twizel. Isabella Carter and Eve Macfarlane achieved excellent results in a competitive field. Carter won gold in both the under-20 women’s single sculls and under-20 women’s coxless pair. She also finished second in the under-22 women’s coxless four. Meanwhile, Macfarlane finished second in both the premier women’s double sculls and coxed eight. The regatta attracts club and senior athletes, as well as novice rowers, who compete on the same course as elite rowers who have represented New Zealand on the world stage. Rangi Ruru’s rowing manager Ella Vink also took away three golds in the coxed four and eights. Vink says she was thrilled that Carter and Macfarlane did so well in the regatta and expects them to both continue to succeed on the rowing stage at whatever level they choose to compete at. “That’s the key,” she said. “At Rangi we support the girls to achieve the very best they can and they then have choices about what they want to do, where and when. They’ve worked hard to be in a position to make these choices and we will always be here for them, cheering for them whatever they choose to do.” JOIN US NOW!
