History edit

Name edit

The official name of the club is the "Christchurch High School Old Boys Rugby Football Club". This is generally shortened to "High School Old Boys" (HSOB) and the club is commonly referred to simply as "Old Boys" or the "Polar Bears" due to their full white playing uniform and notoriously cold home fields.

Location edit

The High School Old Boys clubrooms are located in Hagley Park adjacent to the Bob Deans Playing Fields on North Hagley Park, 12 Riccarton Avenue, Christchurch

Colours edit

Old Boys colours are: White jersey, white shorts and black socks with blue tops

All Blacks coaches from HSOB edit

Notable players edit

All Blacks edit

A number of New Zealand representatives, called All Blacks, have been selected for international duties while affiliated to the club. Before the advent of professionalism in 1996, international players would appear for their clubs regularly in New Zealand, but since the introduction of Super Rugby, most professional players play for their clubs only rarely.

In 2022 HSOB Rugby also had their first Black Ferns (NZ Women's) player with World Cup winning Full Back Renee Holmes
