New Zealand Rugby\u2019s High Performance Player Development Manager Matt Sexton said the quality of 1st<\/sup> XV rugby continues to impress.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year we see talented players right across the country which means our selection process needs to be incredibly rigorous.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe depth of talent we have seen this year makes the task of selecting this group very hard, our focus has been rewarding players who have performed consistently over the course of the entire season for both school and representative teams,\u201d said Sexton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the selected players, experience comes in the form of nine players who were involved in the 2017 schools programme, while Sam Smith represents Heartland Unions out of Wairarapa College. Saint Kentigern has the most players selected, with eight, followed by Christs College and Scots College with four players each.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s Barbarians Schools coaches Brad Mooar (Crusaders) and Sam Moore (New Plymouth Boys\u2019 High School) will lead the 2018 New Zealand Schools team. Highlanders Assistant Coach Cory Brown will take the reigns of the Barbarians Schools team and will be assisted by Mark Hooper from Kelston Boys\u2019 High School.<\/span><\/p>\n

The teams will be announced on 23 September.<\/span><\/p>\n
