In its five-year history, the Jock Hobbs Memorial National Under 19 Tournament has become a much-anticipated event on the rugby calendar and has seen some of New Zealand’s most promising young rugby players get no- ticed. I hope that this year’s tournament will lead to more players taking the next steps in their rugby journey – it is always fantastic to see. Jock Hobbs was a very special man whose immense contribution to rugby can still be seen wherever you look in the game. Therefore, it is fitting that this tournament is named for him. He was a player, an All Black and a cap- tain, a coach and administrator at many different levels. Considering his love for the game and passion for securing its future, I am sure he would have been delighted to see this Tournament do so well. This tournament also gives us a great opportunity to recognise the incredible on and off field service to the game provided by Graham Mourie, Sir Michael Jones and the late Sir DJ Graham, through the trophies that carry their names and are on the line this week. Over 400 young players, match officials, coaches and team management will take part in this week-long rugby event, which features 24 games of rugby, development workshops and posi- tion-specific coaching clinics. I hope you all enjoy the experience, make new connections and get as much as you can out of what’s on offer. New Zealand Rugby would like to thank the King Country Rugby Union and Taupo District Coun- cil for their ongoing work to ensure the Tournament is successful and enjoyable. A huge thanks also to the volunteers – we wouldn’t have a tournament without you.

    Mellow Yarrow he story behind the plight of Yarrow Stadium is full of “what-ifs” and “with-the-benefit-of-hindsights”. T What if they hadn’t built Taranaki’s premier rugby ground in a swampy valley? What if the NIMBY neighbours around Sanders Park in Westown had accepted the first plan to build Rugby Park there in 1927? With the benefit of hindsight, should the playing field have been laid west-to-east instead of north-south, so the grandstands weren’t built on fill? Now that both stands have been declared earthquake-prone, a lot more what-ifs loom over the investigation into what can be done with the stadium...including the big one – can it stay there? Although Yarrow Stadium may never again attract crowds as big those during last century's Ranfurly Shield eras and international games – nearly 40,000 - memories of extraordinary occasions linger within most Taranaki family histories. We’ve got too much in to abandon the place, and initial alarm has been displaced by determination to fix it.
