Warriors coach Cameron George has voiced disapproval with Hamilton Boys High School's approach to sport for their students. The school has told students their opportunities to play rugby for the school’s champion first XV were at risk if they continued to play league as well. Cameron George says this pressure on students is 'disappointing'. "I think kids should be allowed to be kids and play sport and be happy - and make decisions later in life, if they find a path they wish to follow." LISTEN
