My son plays for NZ - in New Plymouth!

**Colapop** · 9th October 2008, 17:20

Some of you know that my son is a bit of a rugby player and he seems to be doing ok. A couple of weeks ago he was selected to play for the NZ Secondary Schools rugby team. They've been off to Samoa (and thrashed them) but are now back and play the Aussies tomorrow in New Plymouth. If you're in the area and you're interested the game is at 12.00pm at Yarrow Stadium. It'll be a good opportunity to see some of NZ's rising young talent (and my son.) I'll be there so if you see me say hi. There's no doubt a photo or two round KB of me...

News is here

(Jeff is a tighthead prop. He's 6'3" and 114kgs - at 17 that's not going too bad)

Unfortunately won't be able to make it to the game, Col. Wishing Jeff and his team all the best!

Good stuff Col, hope it all goes well

That's sacred ground at Rugby Park in New Plymouth. I played there once myself, but nothing as exalted as for a New Zealand rep team. That's the real deal. Well done to the Pop family!

Geez, how big is he going to be when he grows up Col?

With the shortage of decent props in NZ he may get a chance to go further and make some great pesos huh.

Yep. Daddy wants a new bike... TUONO

**Grub** · 9th October 2008, 21:16

Wow Col, that's just too cool. There's one one place to go that tops that, I'm jealous of the new bike

**riffer** · 9th October 2008, 21:25

Yep. Ain't it grand when one of the family does well.

Congrats Col. Give him a hug from us.
