  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.

  • Forward Momentum
    Forward momentum JIM TUCKER finds out what Taranaki rugby is doing to make more history: “It was the BBC - Brown, Briscoe and Carroll.” So began the front page story in the Taranaki Herald Sports Edition one Saturday in 1959. It was one of an endless string of puns the paper’s rugby writer used to chronicle extraordinary feats by Taranaki’s late-50s Ranfurly Shield holders. The monikers so playfully employed above – it could easily have been Burke, Boon and Cameron - are a distant memory for most of today’s generation. But they’re far from forgotten at Taranaki Football Rugby Union HQ in Yarrow Stadium. As the photograph of TRFU chief executive Mike Collins shows, that great team dominates one whole wall of the meeting room, and as the union gears up to repeat last year’s win in the ITM inter-provincial rugby competition, the names of Peter Burke, Ross Brown, Kevin Briscoe, Ralph Carroll and company resonate as never before. One reason is the current team already rivals the ‘59ers on at least one measure – the number of All Blacks in its ranks While Taranaki had six at various stages between 1957 and 1960, today’s team has five, with more in the offing. It also has eight Maori All Blacks, (including captain Charlie Ngatai, also an All Black), and two in the Junior All Blacks. Not that any of this is particularly at the forefront He says the academy managers, Willy Rickards of Mike Collins’ mind as he and his team prepare and Adam Haye, spotted Vaeno during some high for the ITM Cup season, which began with a school first fifteen games.

  • Chairman Report 2018
    Chairman’s Report SCOBA Annual General Meeting June 2018 Welcome to the 2018 Annual General Meeting of the Scots College Old Boys’ Association. I would like to start by acknowledging our Patrons: Headmaster Graeme Yule, and School Principals Christian Zachariassen, Matt Allen and Mike Hansen. I record our appreciation for the interest that Graeme and his team take in SCOBA and the wider Scots community. I thought I would start with a reminder about SCOBA and who it represents. The Association was started in 1921 by the first boys to graduate from Scots, and since that time more than 12,000 boys have passed through the school gates. SCOBA therefore has a large and growing constituency, which is about to become more diverse when the first female students begin graduating from 2021 (which happens to nicely coincide with the SCOBA Centenary). More on this later. Our members range from late teenagers, to our most senior member Ken Longmore who recently turned 100. Ken attended Scots in the 1930s and has had a remarkable life, as many of you may have read about in the recent Quad magazine. We celebrated Ken’s birthday out at Scots a few weeks ago, which included his opening of the Aitken Building portico refurbishment. The past year has seen successes by a number of our more recent Old Boys, and I wanted to mention a few today. Many of you remember Andrew Tang (2017) who attended our AGM last year in his final year at Scots. Last year, Andrew was awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Academic Excellence, recognising the top New Zealand student, and achieved scholarship (top 3%) in a record 12 subjects.
