It’s 7s Season in Community Rugby!

Tuesday 21st October saw Nga Puna Wai come alive with energy, as 32 Secondary School teams battled it out in blustery conditions for a shot at qualifying for the National Condors 7s. The weather might’ve been wild, but the rugby was even better —fast-paced, skilful, and full of the flair that makes 7s such a crowd favourite.

There was plenty of talent on display and smiles all around from players, coaches, and supporters alike. A huge thanks to everyone who made it such an awesome day of school 7s!
