August 2010 “THE FIRST FIFTEEN” UNDERSTANDING THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE OF GAY RUGBY PLAYERS IN AOTEAROA/NEW ZEALAND Roger Gérard Joseph Le Blanc A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago – Te whare Wānanga o Otago Dunedin, New Zealand. March 2004 ii ABSTRACT To date, only three gay male athletes have ever come out publicly during their professional sporting career in team sports. This reflects the pervasiveness of homophobia in sport and its power to silence and render invisible gay athletes. Moreover, it leads to a number of important sociological, political, moral and philosophical questions. Research that seeks to understand the gay athlete’s perspective on the existence of silence and invisibility is made all the more pertinent as gay rights and equality are currently manifested within social institutions other than mainstream sport. In order to fill the void of knowledge regarding the silence and invisibility of gay men within mainstream sport, the questions: “What meanings from their perspective do gay rugby players give to their experience of participating in mainstream rugby?’ and “How do these meanings create barriers or opportunities for their survival in rugby?” directed this social phenomenological study of gay rugby union players in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

  • Men's National Championship Records

    Men's National Championship Records

    MEN'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RECORDS 1939 — 2013 THIRD EDITION — 2013 INTRODUCTION The following pages contain, as far as I can ascertain, the winners and runners-up of all Men's and Boys' New Zealand domestic competitions since the inception of our sport up until the completion of the most recent season. At this time I have not been able to document all runners-up prior to 1958, but hopefully some of that information will become available in due course. Remember, too, that between 1945 and 1949 the Beatty Cup was decided on a challenge basis. Earlier listings of the various championship winners have generally been assembled under a trophy banner, ie winners of the Beatty Cup or the Bensel Cup. While that method served the purpose admirably at the time, changes — notably sponsorship and different tournament formats — make that approach, in my opinion, more cumbersome. Many trophies were re-allocated and sometimes superceded, and on occasions reappeared in a different role, which sometimes made it difficult to follow just what competition/format they were being awarded to. I have therefore opted to list competitions continuously from the beginning until, in some cases, they were eventually discontinued altogether and note, as best I can, the various stages trophies were awarded or discarded. With most age-group categories I have added explanatory notes, which hopefully make clearer the evolution of the various grades. These days our "official records" largely ignore the days before Under-19, Under-17 and Under-15 grades, but I think it is important to ensure the records are maintained as accurately as possible right from the beginning of those grades which played such a huge part in building our sport in the '60s.

The Commerce Commission (the Commission) in its Decision 580 dated 2 June 2006 authorised the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) to enter into a salary cap arrangement in accordance with the Collective Employment Agreement (CEA) between the NZRU and the New Zealand Rugby Players Association (NZRPA). 2. Since that decision there have been two developments that the NZRU and the NZRPA believe warrant some salary cap relief for the Provincial Unions involved in the 2007 Air New Zealand Cup competition. Both relate to the impact of the Rugby World Cup in 2007 and suggest the need for salary cap relief in just the 2007 year. The NZRU and NZRPA have now agreed to amend the CEA to provide some salary cap relief in the 2007 year subject to having that variation authorised by the Commerce Commission. 3. This letter therefore, is a request to the Commission to vary the authorisation in the ways set out below. We set out in this letter the recent developments referred to above, details of the variation sought and the NZRU’s submissions in relation to the Commission’s jurisdiction to grant a variation to the current authorisation. 1 NEW ZEALAND RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION INC . 4.
