 One old boy, at SPC in the mid 1950s, has written that the Christian Brothers (being then "Aussies") were not much interested in Rugby but were more interested in cricket, "square-bashing" and athletics.However, John Tamihere, at St Peter's in the 1970s, remembers the Christian Brothers (by then mostly Kiwi) being very enthusiastic about Rugby.He has written that if the Christian Brothers wanted a boy for the First XV, the boy didn't have much say in the matter.
