  • Forward Momentum
    Forward momentum JIM TUCKER finds out what Taranaki rugby is doing to make more history: “It was the BBC - Brown, Briscoe and Carroll.” So began the front page story in the Taranaki Herald Sports Edition one Saturday in 1959. It was one of an endless string of puns the paper’s rugby writer used to chronicle extraordinary feats by Taranaki’s late-50s Ranfurly Shield holders. The monikers so playfully employed above – it could easily have been Burke, Boon and Cameron - are a distant memory for most of today’s generation. But they’re far from forgotten at Taranaki Football Rugby Union HQ in Yarrow Stadium. As the photograph of TRFU chief executive Mike Collins shows, that great team dominates one whole wall of the meeting room, and as the union gears up to repeat last year’s win in the ITM inter-provincial rugby competition, the names of Peter Burke, Ross Brown, Kevin Briscoe, Ralph Carroll and company resonate as never before. One reason is the current team already rivals the ‘59ers on at least one measure – the number of All Blacks in its ranks While Taranaki had six at various stages between 1957 and 1960, today’s team has five, with more in the offing. It also has eight Maori All Blacks, (including captain Charlie Ngatai, also an All Black), and two in the Junior All Blacks. Not that any of this is particularly at the forefront He says the academy managers, Willy Rickards of Mike Collins’ mind as he and his team prepare and Adam Haye, spotted Vaeno during some high for the ITM Cup season, which began with a school first fifteen games.

  • Analysing Rugby Game Attendance at Selected Smaller Unions in South Africa
    Analysing rugby game attendance at selected smaller unions in South Africa by PAUL HEYNS 12527521 B.Com (Hons), NGOS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the Potchefstroom Business School of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof. R.A. Lotriet November 2012 Potchefstroom ABSTRACT Rugby union is being viewed and played by millions of people across the world. It is one of the fastest growing sport codes internationally and with more countries emerging and playing international and national games, the supporter attendance is crucial to the game. The rugby industry is mostly formal, with an international body controlling the sport globally and a governing body in each country to regulate the sport in terms of rules and regulations. These bodies must adhere to the international body’s vision and mission to grow the sport and to steer it in the correct direction. This study focuses on rugby game attendance of selected smaller unions in South Africa. Valuable information was gathered describing the socio- economic profile and various preferences and habits of supporters attending rugby games. This information forms the basis for future studies to honour the people that support their unions when playing rugby nationally or internationally. The research was conducted through interviews with influential administrators within the rugby environment and questionnaires that were distributed among supporters that attended a Leopard and Puma game. The main conclusions during the study were the failure to attract supporters to the Leopards and the Pumas local matches. The supporters list various reasons for poor supporter attendances namely: a lack of marketing, no entertainment, the quality of the teams that are competing, and the time-slots in which the matches take place.

  • Club Mykonos Supports Boland Rugby Training Camp
    MEDIA RELEASE CLUB MYKONOS SUPPORTS BOLAND RUGBY TRAINING CAMP Learners at West Coast local primary schools recently benefited from the Regent Boland Cavaliers Rugby team, who hosted rugby clinics at the schools as part of a week-long training held at Club Mykonos in Langebaan, in the Western Cape. The training camp formed part of Regent Boland Cavaliers’ preparations for their campaign in the South African Rugby Union’s First Division of the ABSA Currie Cup competition which starts next month. The camp also provided the team an opportunity to promote the development of rugby in the Western Cape, with team members taking part in training, team building exercises and skills development. “The camp plays an important role in bringing together our players, who come from different parts of the country and from different backgrounds. It’s a chance for them to get to know their team mates, while also building their skills,” explained Francois Davids, president of the Boland Rugby Union. “We also found the excellent facilities at Club Mykonos to be of a high standard especially the astroturf and gym facilities which the players, coaches and medical staff highly appreciated. The complex’s outdoor adventures also gave us an opportunity to involve the players in team building exercises,” added Davids. The team took some time out to visit local schools and host rugby clinics. The clinics aim to promote the development of rugby in the area, with a focus on schools that lack resources. The team held clinics at Topolino Private School, Langebaan Pre-Primary, and Curro Private School, after school hours over the course of four afternoons.

The lower tier Challenge Cup final took place on Friday night between two French clubs, ASM Clermont Auvergne and La Rochelle. While Clermont has won the Challenge Cup twice before (and been runners-up in the higher-tier Champions Cup three times), this final was their opponents’ first shot at a title at this level. It was a match that featured dogged defence – mostly from Clermont – and plenty of typical flair from both sides Saturday night saw kick-off in the big one: the but by the 60th minute the contest appeared pretty Champions Cup final, where four-time champions much over with La Rochelle trailing 26-9.
