The Chronicle reports the story of Huntley School student Jamie Thompson - the only female in her school s first XV side. Thompson was only the second-ever girl to play in the school s premier rugby side after it became co-ed in 2014. In her first prep match against Wellington s Scots College, Thompson bagged a hat-trick and kicked five out of six conversions, confirming she was right where she belonged.
