While many high schools across the country have decided to refuse to televise 1st XV rugby matches, Napier Boys' High thinks otherwise.
Napier Boys' High has stated that they think televising the 1st XV rugby matches is good for the players' development, and have worked out a deal where one match per week is broadcast on Maori Television.
Other Super 8 schools in the central North Island, such as Hastings Boys' High, will be doing something similar with their 1st XV rugby matches.
Brendon Ratcliffe, the Director of Rugby at Napier Boys' High School says that televising the matches is good for the players, as they work really hard to get to their current level. As such, Brendon argues that having the matches on TV helps them take pride in their skills.
