Every year, Christ’s College and Christchurch Boys’ High clash in New Zealand’s most iconic schoolboy rugby rivalry. But is it just a game? Or something deeper?

Featuring insights from a Christ’s College history teacher and current students, we unpack the legacy, the culture and the changing meaning of this fierce tradition. This is Tackles & Tensions.
