Rotorua Boys' High School perform a haka before their league match against Southland Boys' High.

The Rotorua Boys' High School rugby league team (pictured) has made history, winning their first game.

Rotorua Boys' High School defeated Southland Boys' High School 42-8 today during the first day of competition at the New Zealand Rugby League National Secondary School Tournament in Auckland.

The traditional rugby union school has never entered a rugby league competition before.

Principal Chris Grinter attended the first day of competition today and said it was a great occasion for the school.

Boys' High could not help but show their strong union background today, with the starting props wearing the number one and three jerseys.
