Secondary Schools players recognised in representative team naming

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has today announced the 2020 New Zealand Secondary Schools and New Zealand Barbarians Schools teams.

The teams will not play in 2020 but selectors have named the sides to recognise the efforts of the secondary school players this season.

NZR High Performance Talent Identification Manager PJ Williams said selections were made from players performances across the 1st XV season and the Barbarians Under 18 Development Camps last month.

“This is fantastic recognition for a group of players that have had a disrupted 1st XV season. I am sure they will be disappointed that they cannot pull on the black jersey this year, but being named in these teams is a great achievement, nonetheless.

“After the Barbarians Camp earlier this month, all players were given individual performance plans and we look forward to seeing what they achieve in coming years,” said Williams.
