Junior muster day is coming up...
Facebook Posts
A reminder that sadly the junior muster day will not be going ahead today, due to the nation wide level 4 lockdown.
We hope to see you all once the alert level is decreased and we can hopefully enjoy some of the season. Until then, stay safe and stay at home.

Dear Rugby Whanau, due to the Government stepping NZ up to alert level 3 and then to level 4 in the next 48 hours the clubrooms are now officially closed for all activities. The junior muster day has been cancelled and all training's for both seniors and juniors have been cancelled until further notice. We will not be recommencing these until the government advise us that we can begin again.
Please look after yourselves during this difficult time, be kind to each other and we will see you all when we can.

Dear Community Rugby,
Please see below a Statement from NZR regarding COVID-19:
New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has decided to postpone all club and community rugby until Saturday, 18 April, effective immediately.
The postponement includes all rugby matches. Non-contact training activities can continue at least in the short term while we continue to monitor the situation with the Ministry of Health.
All team-based activity will be adapted to comply with the limits the Ministry has set. This includes minimising person-to-person contact and maintaining hygiene standards including not sharing drink bottles, washing hands and regularly cleaning rugby equipment.
It is a difficult decision for our organisation to make but it is important that we do this in the interests of the health of all rugby participants.
The well-being of our players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider New Zealand community is our top priority. And, while this will be disappointing for many, postponing rugby for the time being is in everyone’s best interests.
Rugby plays an important role in New Zealand communities and at this time of uncertainty the postponement of rugby matches allows everyone to pause, and take care of themselves and their whanau. It also gives the Provincial Unions and local competition organisers the opportunity to regroup, reschedule and determine how they can deliver meaningful competition when rugby resumes.
School rugby and in most cases junior club rugby competitions start in early May and are therefore unaffected by the postponement at this stage.
Given the situation with COVID-19 is constantly changing we continue to ask everyone involved in rugby to support one another and follow the official government guidelines, and we will also be reviewing activity daily bases on this advice
