It is the game of rugby that has brought us together and Total Rugby will ensure that you will experience the very best of New Zealand’s rugby culture. Welcome, Haere Mai, and enjoy your stay. INTRODUCTORY NOTES Weather: July can be the country’s wettest month. Prepare for cold conditions too. Snow on the roads is not out of the question! (Do you know how to put chains on?!) Average Queenstown high in July is 10 degrees and the low is 1. Chch is 12 and 3. Grounds: Grounds could be okay but most likely wet and muddy. Come prepared with decent studs or you might find you can barely turn a corner! It may not be feasible to trade in your multi-stud boats but you may want to think about it. Game protocol: Most schools in New Zealand have their own haka and it is common practice for the host school to perform the haka for overseas visiting teams. This is meant as a challenge and it is up to the visiting team to accept it as they wish.
