NZRL/MANAAKITANGA AOTEAROA TRUST HAKA CHALLENGE AND

RECOMMENDED MEDICAL AND STRAPPING
NZRL will provide a small first aid kit and a small amount of strapping to each school. We do recommended that
all schools to bring additional strapping tape and first aid supplies as a duty of care to their players. There will
be medical professionals at the tournament that can strap, but other than a starter kit strapping will NOT be
supplied by NZRL.
If a player thinks they can not play without strapping then it is likely they should not be playing at all.
Strapping young players is not highly recommended, however if a pre-existing / past injury such as an ankle
ligament strain already exists then it is recommended to support this joint in order to stop it from happening
again during the Tournament.
NZRL does have a preferred strapping / medical provider which is EBOS Sport. EBOS Sport are a very reputable
company and offer a vast range of strapping and medical products.
EBOS will be available onsite throughout the tournament and can assist you with both strapping advice and
product.
They are more than happy to provide product at extremely good rates to all Secondary Schools competing at
the NZRL National Secondary Schools Tournament.
If you complete an injury survey within your team (find out who has rolled ankles etc. in the past) and have this
information available when you email EBOS (details below) they will give you a good idea of how much
strapping you will need for the week.

and the product packs (Wattie’s food items including creamed rice, baked beans, fruit salad, soup and
golden circle tetrapack drinks) for their team

of a coin.

TOURNAMENT PUBLICITY REQUIREMENTS
Previously, this event has enjoyed good media coverage. A large part of that was down to the story
leads your schools provided, so we’d appreciate if you could share some insights. Your answers will
help us with the media both before and during the tournament.
1. Who have been the most critical people in getting your school to this tournament?
2. Who are some your school’s most successful ex-pupils? (In rugby league, other sports, the arts,
science, business…)
3. Are any of your squad closely related to NRL players or people who’ve excelled in other areas of
life?
4. Are any of your squad performing especially well in other sports or in other areas inside or
outside of school?
5. Are any of your players fluent in Maori? If so, which of them would be most comfortable
handling an interview in te reo?
6. Does your school have any standout players returning to the tournament or new players that
have caused some excitement? If so, who and why?
7. Are there any special programmes within your school that allow your players to work their
sports into their study?
In addition to outside media, I’ll be printing a daily newsletter that will be available as a programme
at the ground and also online to parents & supporters at home. I’d like to compile a database of
email addresses for anyone wishing to receive this newsletter directly.
Please forward any such addresses to me and I’ll add them to the list.
Thanks in advance for your support.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
Employed in 1994 by the NZRL as National Development Manager, Richard Bolton aimed to expand rugby
league at secondary school level as there was only a small competition in Auckland and the odd game in
Districts.
Two of the most important issues were to have the sport officially sanctioned by the NZ Secondary Schools; as
well as establishing a secondary school development manager in each District - they were fulltime, part-time
and sometimes volunteers with an expense allowance. They travelled around the country and called on school
after school, always armed with a list of pupil's names, and a Coach and Manager connected to the school - be
it teacher, father, caretaker etc who wanted to represent their school in our sport.
1994 - 54 schools competed
1995 - 82 schools competed
1996 - 115 schools competed
Competitions were eventually played in most Districts including: North Auckland, Auckland, Thames Valley,
Waikato, Coastline, Bay of Plenty, Manawatu, Gisborne, Wellington, Taranaki, Nelson, West Coast, Canterbury,
Otago and Southland.
St Paul’s College and Wainuiomata College played the curtainraiser to the Lion Red Cup at Carlaw Park in the
inaugural National Secondary's First XIII Competition. St Paul’s were the eventual winners.
The 1995 finals were held in Hopu Hopu and St Paul’s College, Kelston Boys High, Mt Albert Grammar (Auck),
Whangarei Boys High, Huntly College, New Plymouth Boys High, Wainuiomata High School, Nelson College,
Palmerston North High School and Aranui College participated. A week of intense and exciting football
resulted in St Paul’s again the eventual winner.
In 1995 the inaugural NZ Rugby League Secondary School team was selected to play the Australian U19s
(Junior Kangaroos), which included nine who had played in the Winfield Cup. Held in New Plymouth it
attracted a large crowd and the NZ team were leading 35-34 with six minutes to play, only for the Aussies to
score two late tries and take the match from under the noses of the gallant secondary school players.
In 1996 the National Competition went to different centres in a knockout format; with St Paul’s College vs
Huntly College; Rotorua Lake High School vs Whakatane High; Waiopehu High School vs Gisborne
High; Wellington High vs New Plymouth Boys High; Nelson College vs Westland High; De La Salle vs Tikipunga
High; Central Southland High vs Logan Park School; Aranui vs Hillmorton High. Yet again, St Paul’s survived
some massive travelling and defeated New Plymouth Boys High School 38-16 in the National Grand Final.
Later in 1996, a game was arranged with the Young Kumuls Papua New Guinea team but they did not arrive
due to visa problems and the national winning U19 Auckland team was substituted. Again, the NZ Secondary
School team was pipped at the post 30-26.
The Australian Secondary Schools organization invited our winning team to compete in their Australian
Commonwealth Cup and St Paul’s were drafted into the last 32 schools of this knockout competition. They
29
defeated Parramatta Marist and returned to Australia twice more, eventually being knocked out in a close
encounter in the last-eight qualification match. A great effort, especially from such a small school.
Two players from this era started their careers playing only at secondary school level with no club
association. They were Adam Blair (Northland) and Simon Mannering (Nelson). Now both are established NRL
players and have represented the NZ Kiwis many times.
With thanks to Richard Bolton, Kiwi No. 499.
