The BSHS boys rugby team recently attended the 1874 Cup, watching two top college program face off: Army vs Navy. Afterwards, they had the opportunity to see world class level rugby as New Zealand took on USA Rugby. New Zealand is one of the most decorated national rugby teams and is consistently ranked number one in the world. This was the first time they have toured the USA since 2016. A highlight of any New Zealand match is seeing them perform their world famous, ceremonial "haka" pregame.
