The team faced a tough Rotorua Boys’ High School side in the final last Saturday, putting up a solid fight before going down 14–26.

The TBC 1st XV concluded their Super 8 campaign with a 4th-place finish. They now turn their focus to the upcoming BOPSS Rugby final against Rotorua BHS, scheduled for Saturday, 9 August. A win in this crucial match would see them progress to the Chiefs regional semi-final — a key step on the road to the prestigious New Zealand Top 4.
