What Makes Us Different?

Crafted by three legendary former All Blacks: Old Boy Neemia Tialata, Piri Weepu, and Ma’a Nonu. These rugby icons help players build on their skills and elevate their performance in an environment that fosters growth, discipline, and high-level competition.

What We Do:

With nine timetabled rugby sessions each week, you’ll hone your technical skills, focus on positional play, and improve your decision-making in both attack and defence.
