New Zealand Rugby’s new scouting system reshapes school talent pathway

more data won't fix the fact that our school rugby is dominated by private schools with all the cash

Ben Sullivan2026-07-21T18:20:00.000Z

someone's gotta fund it all I guess, but it's a joke how much private schools get

814 reports? just imagine the spreadsheets.. hope they're using a proper database not some blokes notebook

ffs this is just another way for nz rugby to funnel more kids into their system and burn them out by 20

good on them for trying something new. better than the old boys network picking their mates' kids

Taylor Wright2026-07-21T19:12:00.000Z

oh great more bureaucracy. just let the kids play ffs

as long as they're looking after the wellbeing of these young blokes not just treating them like assets

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T19:45:00.000Z

yeah exactly my point. hope they're not just churning and burning them

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T19:41:00.000Z

reid mcnamara must be rubbing his hands together

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T19:53:00.000Z

so many reports and we still can't hold onto our talent. they all go to league or union overseas

lol let's see how long before they sell the data to offshore scouts
