Fullback Danny Toala scored 29 points as Hastings Boys' High School walloped Tauranga Boys' College 64-0 in a Super 8 rugby 1st XV fixture in Hastings today.
Toala, who again enhanced his chances of selection in the New Zealand Secondary Schools team, scored three tries for the defending champions and kicked seven conversions from nine attempts at goal in tricky windy conditions. This was Hastings 15th consecutive win from as many matches this season and they travel to Hamilton for their final round robin Super 8 fixture of the season next weekend.
Hastings have scored 924 points in their 15 outings while conceding 50. Like Toala, openside flanker Jeriah Mua, also proved why he is a serious contender for national selection with another outstanding performance.
HBHS manager and former Magpies halfback Jason Bird said there was some rust in the hosts display in their first outing after the school holidays and he stressed the importance of the coming week to his troops.
"This is going to be a huge week. We're unlikely to get a harder assignment than this."
