Inside scoop from cuzzy bro in New Zealand. Tough game for Highland, the USA National Champs against The Church College of New Zealand. A small private school with a long and proud 50 year rugby tradition.
Two losses in Tonga as well.
Also a few grumblings from Highland parents who paid $1,000.00 - $1,500.00 for their sons to go to New Zealand. We hear they are not to happy about their boys sitting on the bench. I don't blame them. I would be ticked as well.
Also in a very creative and also unannounced twist, to Highland parents, two of last years kiwi imports, Fo and Junior, were brought onto the Highland squad in New Zealand as starters. We are sure they didn't have to pay the $1,000.00.
With the 6 that came to the USA this year that would make 8 kiwi boys playing on the Highland team.
Anything for the big W (win) and the big E (ego) that spells WE.
And we are sorry for those who once again made the ultimate sacrifice of traveling all the way to New Zealand to end up sitting on the bench. So sad. These hard working boys should be playing and the kiwi boys should be limited to one or two on the field at any one time.
If we can't stop this practice maybe with the help and support of Highland parents we can regulate this from getting out of control.
4,5,6,7,8,9,10 import players from New Zealand each year.... when does it end.........................
I am now an unofficial advocate for the rights of the Highland local boys to play, and for the ever increasing numbers of kiwi boys to sit on the bench. And yes I am from New Zealand.
Please help me spread the word to all Highland parents. Would like some feedback on these ideas.

Thanks for the correction.
One game then that the local boys had to sit out.
sorry for the technical error.
Someday tim you will grasp the spirit of my message. This is about a principle called fairness, integrity and telling the truth. Tim, thanks for at least being upfront about these boys playing.
Would be interested in what highland parents think about all of this.
Tim, let me ask you a question. Whether its me or "John Brown" wouldn't like someone a coach or parent to press for a limit to the number of kiwi boys on the field at one time? What problems do you have with this policy?

Actually I received many thanks from People at Olympus and the School Board. For too many years the kiwi boys had been slipped into the public school system through this loophole, pretending to be students but not really. Now this loop hole is closed and taxpayers like me are not part of this scheme.
Did you read the letter from the School Board Attorney/ What did you think?
The kiwi boys have made sure that you or your sons sit on the bench, so whats the difference. Choose not to play or cheer on the 6 kiwis from the bench. You obviously don't care about more playing time for the local boys. I DO! How ironic.

Give us the facts. Enlighten us all please. You guys split hairs and jump all over a guy because he has one detail incorrect. I have had relatives who have been sent here to play rugby. Are you saying this never happens. You can not see the forest through the trees. One day this will all end. Then you can buy me a hamburger.
