as a Westlake Old Boy I'd love to see an Old Boys Rugby club" established and playing in the Harbour Club rugby comp. " Westlake High School Old Boys" just rolls of the tongue indeed. I reckon a Lake Old Boys team would be challenging the Harbour powerhouse clubs like Takapuna,Shore, Northcote ,Bays and Massey in no time at all ,GO THE LAKE !! REPLY
One thing is noticeable is how small our schoolboys are compared to the South African kids. It's no wonder they dominate us at schoolboy level. Thankfully we tend to catch up in size post school.
@Johnny R The game is dying because our culture is changing. Soft men growing up are having kids, and raising them soft. Rugby is very physical, but it should be what draws parents to encourage their kids to play. Kids need a chance to contest with someone bigger than them and smaller then them, to smash others and get smashed, to fight as a team, and fight personal battles. Teaches you a little bit about life.
@@kentkendall1698 If any of you were actually there I was there as First Aid he was given a yellow card, and it does not show on here but in the first 7 seconds Whangarei Boys performed a no arms tackle and knocked one of our players out for a good 1.30 and had to be transported to the hospital for mild concussion from this tackle but no card was given apart from blue for the player knocked out.
@@kolrhcp Na gotta be dead straight, in this case defending team should be rewarded with a scrum. Witch in theory is an advantage over a lineout. (Edit) After thinking a bit, the referee is entitled to play an advantage as the defending team ended up in possession.
I’m pretty sure the 7 transitioned to hooker as i go to Westlake and know that he also plays hooker as the original Westlake hooker subbed off he played that role as we did not actually have a hooker on the bench
Saffas watching this and thinking that a potential steroid market opportunity is being squandered. Keep it natty NZ and remember that tougher paths almost always produce more adept travellers.
Come on. You see caucasians everywhere are you that blind ? If that's the case. I see a lot of Maoris picking up the patch instead of picking the right path.
Interesting to see my old high school and the changes made in the last 37 years around the main field. Greetings from Canada. Nice win WBHS!
Once a Westlaker, always a Westlaker I say :) GO THE LAKE !!
@@robosborne7103 My house is right there behind the goal post loved Westlake
Gotta be more clear both have the Sam acronyms
@@robosborne7103 Nah UP DA SWANS 🤣
Bangkok Thailand is still under semi lockdown, and here I am watching WBHS' rugby. The fields, the buildings....33 years ago. This feels good.

NZ dominates super rugby, u20, 7s, WC 7s
These kids are getting smaller each year. Our 1st XVs back in 2017-2018 were much bigger. Bearded as well, look like they got kids or something
This is the north shore competition they always have small players
Yeah their schoolboys on steroids and they only dominate in schoolboy level but no good on other higher levels 🤣🤣
How Do I Unbake a cake 15 They haven’t dominated sevens in years.
4:53 Now I want to know where Etienne Piere’s family is from. So nice to see West African brothers in New Zealand of all places.
Tackle at 5:21, No arms on the wrap around and makes direct contact with the head?
Any thoughts?
Under current rules how would this play out?
red card
@@harizizzat09 theses days for sure.
@@kentkendall1698 Its not even these days, theres a diagram for it. There isn't a choice, it is a straight red.

shocking call on the not straight line out. But having seen that would like to konow the theroy of having a 7 throw the lineouts
No law stating hooker must throw in. I’m also a flanker that has thrown in before.
Isn't it only not straight if it goes towards your team? That throw went miles off centre, but it went towards Whangarei not the throwers team.
@@AE-ix2iz I know there is no law, but why is what im asking, is the hooker shit or even better whats the clever tactic behind it?

Why isn't Francis playing?
hmmmm
on the bench reading a book and eating fish and chips
Lets go westlake
I don’t suppose these boys rank very high in the NZ competition?

Ah yes college rugby 1st xv is back
Which team has the most ring ins ?
I think you might wanna look at the Auckland SS 1A comp for that :)
2:26

How old are they?
fred saints u18s
Nice to see the odd Pakeha still plays the game.
🤦♂️🙄
Come on. You see caucasians everywhere are you that blind ?

Boring, worst comp in NZ
Who?
