A couple of weeks ago, the Second XV were asked at short notice to represent the College at the Independent Schools Rugby Festival in Christchurch over three days.
Despite missing some key players due to illness and unavailability, the squad travelled south to play Christ’s College First XV on Saturday 23 August, with the final score 45-7 to Christ's.
Following a day of recovery activities on Sunday, they faced St Andrew’s College first XV where the final score was 41 -14 to St Andrew's.
Despite coming up against these two seasoned and well-drilled First XV sides, the entire squad showed great skill and determination, remaining competitive for large parts of both games.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a fitting way to farewell the Year 13 students who were playing their final match for the College.
