As we reach the midway point of the school holidays, St Francis Xavier School will be licking their wounds after they came off second best in a Rippa Rugby match against Tauraroa Area School. While St Francis were treated to a powhiri when they visited the country school, they were not given much else by Tauraroa as they ran home winners 27-0.
