What a fantastic day at Forsyth Barr Stadium for our Year 8 crossover matches, with players, coaches, and families all coming together to create a truly memorable experience.

For many of these young players, it was their first time running out onto the big stage — a special milestone that brought plenty of excitement, energy, and smiles throughout the day.

With proud whānau in the stands and great footy on display, it had everything that makes community rugby so special.

A huge thank you to all the players, coaches, referees, and supporters who made the day so special. These are the rugby moments they’ll remember for a long time.
