Consecutive bonus point wins have Rotorua Boys' High School sitting second on the Super 8 ladder, with a game in hand over leaders Hamilton Boys' High School.
Yesterdaythey hosted Gisborne Boys' High School and, while they conceded much of the territory and possession, Rotorua Boys' were able to make the most of their opportunities and secure a 41-5 win.
Gisborne gave the hosts an early opportunity to attack when they turned the ball over in their own half. Rotorua were patient in their build-up play, inching towards the line, before shifting the ball to the blindside where excitement machine Selestino Ravutaumada slipped out of a one-on-one tackle to race through and score.
Both sides approached the game with the type of passion you expect from our top schoolboy teams and it was Gisborne who dominated the battle for territory. However, Rotorua were able to assert dominance in defence, putting pressure on every break down and producing some big hits for the highlights reel.
Having absorbed a long period of pressure, Rotorua went down the other end and extended their lead through prop Poukohe Sorenson-Tawhara, who scored off the back of a powerful maul.
