But the other side of our club is the camaraderie and social side which we all enjoy. We have magnificent premises at Eden Park. I urge you to come and utilise them. We have club nights most Friday nights from 4.00pm. There are big Super Rugby games coming up. We also organise golf and bowls days and I urge you all to get involved and enjoy these fun events.

  • 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 Many trophies were re-allocated and sometimes superceded, and on occasions reappeared in a different role, which sometimes made it difficult to follow just what competition/format they were being awarded to.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.

  • Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki
    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. WORDS: Jim Tucker PHOTOS: Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki Mellow Yarrow, Live, August issue 2018 DRAFT 1 f he was still alive, there’d be nobody more shocked than James McLeod (above) at the news Yarrow Stadium’s stands have been declared an earthquake risk. He died in I 1944 after a distinguished career as a politician, chair of the Taranaki Rugby Football Union for more than 30 years, manager of the provincial team and at least one All Black touring team – and the man most responsible for building Rugby Park.

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.
