The National Top Four First XV championship for the New Zealand Barbarians Cup will be staged at Rotorua Boys’ High School this weekend.
The first top four was staged in 1982 and won by Mount Albert Grammar School. Since that inaugural tourney, the tournament has became the preeminent event in secondary school rugby.
The 2015 version features four fine teams. Who is your pick?
When Logan Elers was Year 10 at Rotorua Boys’ High School, basketball wasn’t a sport that was taken very seriously.
Matangireia Yates-Francis concedes he was shy and naive when he arrived at Rotorua Boys’ High School five years ago.
Isaac Te Aute has played 75 matches for the Rotorua Boys’ High School First XV. He has represented New Zealand at age-group level in touch and was named in the tournament team at the Condors Sevens, a title which Rotorua won.
