Guest Speaker - Stephen Jones
Stephen Jones is a Welsh rugby union coach and former player who played primarily at fly-half. He played more than 100 times for Wales and six times for the British & Irish Lions.
Jones was the record cap holder for Wales until he was overtaken by Gethin Jenkins on 15 March 2014. With 970 international points, Jones is eighth in the List of leading rugby union test point scorers, and the second-highest Wales player on the list behind Neil Jenkins.
At the end of the 2012–13 season, Jones retired from playing professional rugby to take up a coaching position at London Wasps and in August 2015, he joined the Scarlets as backs coach.
Kirkpatrick-Fitzpatrick Cup
Kirkpatrick, Head Boy and captain of the First XV (1964), was known to be an accomplished sportsman during his time at King's, excelling not only at Rugby, where he was identified as a dynamic flanker, but also at Athletics and represented the school at both.
After his time at King's, he played for Poverty Bay 1966, and Canterbury 1967, during which time he was selected to the All Blacks for their 1967 Tour of Great Britain and France.
He had a highly successful career as an All Black with 39 tests, 9 of them as Captain, between 1967 and 1977. Between 1968 and 1877, he didn't miss a single game for the All Blacks and retired in 1977 having scored a record 16 tries for his country. A record that stood until 1983.
Along with fellow All Black Sean Fitzpatrick, Ian is the namesake of the Fitzpatrick-Kirkpatrick Cup established in 2008. The cup is highly contested between King's and Sacred Heart College annually.
