Otago Boys' High School first XV coach, Ryan Martin. It can be a cruel game — just ask the two Otago teams which contested the two Highlanders finals on Saturday. Otago Boys’ High School lost in the last play of its game, conceding a penalty goal to Southland Boys’ High School to go down 29-27 in Invercargill. Further south, Otago Boys’ could not quite put away Southland Boys’ and it came back to haunt it. Midfield back Burns Mills, who has signed with Canterbury and flanker Taine Te Whata, who has linked with Southland, played well for Otago Boys’.
