Hi, my name is Robert Hittel and I'm from Germany. I came to Whangarei Boys' High School in January and started to play rugby for the school. We had trials to see who is going to be the 1st XV and I made it, which made me very happy, because one of the main reasons I came to New Zealand was for rugby. I played a wonderful season with the 1st XV ,it was so much fun. We had good games, bad games and I found so many new friends within the team. Our coach Mr Howett is a really good coach and his drills really help you develop your skills. So if you want to improve your rugby skills and meet some cool team mates I recommend that you go to the trials and try to make your way into Whangarei Boys' High  School XV.
