Oh, for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Put another way, the Gisborne Boys' High School first 15 would treasure an away win against New Plymouth BHS. There being no second 15 match due to injuries to GBHS players, the first 15 clash at the iconic Gully will bring the curtain down on what has been a winless Super 8 campaign for both teams. This will be the second year in a row that the protagonists have played off for seventh and eighth places. Gisborne have come eighth and accrued only four competition points overall in the past three years.
