  • Club Rugby - the Heart of the Union
    Club Rugby - The Heart of the Union In the professional era, which has been increasingly dominant in the game since the mid 1990’s, one of rugby’s basic tenets has been inevitably undermined. That is the concept that Clubs, both on the field and off as community forces, are the foundation of the game and that their interests should be paramount. A provincial union after all, is essentially a collection of Clubs who are the game’s true owners. To its credit, since its formation in 1985, North Harbour has always striven to give Club rugby, from premier down to the Saturday morning junior grades, the recognition it deserves. And even in recent years, when All Blacks, Super 12/14 players and occasionally provincial representatives, no longer appear regularly for Clubs and for those few at elite level, never at all, that mantra has still applied. A special promotion has always been made of Club finals day. As well as the premier final, plate and pool playoffs have also been held and either as curtain-raisers or on adjacent grounds, the finals have generally held for reserves, under 21 and under 19 grades. With most of the union’s Clubs involved, crowds, firstly at Onewa Domain and since 1997 at Albany, have occasionally approached five to six thousand. There was a slight variation to the programmes in 2009, with the premier grade championship and plate-finals being the only two games played because of the need to fit in with the start of the Air New Zealand Cup. There was still a bumper attendance at Albany and the union, again to its credit and that of the new representative coaches, Craig Dowd and Jeff Wilson, allowed the Clubs full use of their top players.

  • HARBOUR BURY WELLINGTON in ONEWA MUD North Harbour
    HARBOUR BURY WELLINGTON IN ONEWA MUD North Harbour rocked the National Rugby Championship for division with a historic win over Wellington, 20-15 at Onewa Domain yesterday. Harbour are in only their fourth year as a fully-fledged provincial union but yesterday the side were cock-a-hoop at the way Wellington were beaten. It was the Union’s first win over a top-shelf provincial side and harbour were cheered on by the biggest crowd (about 11,000) to attend a match at Onewa Domain. Skipper Wayne Shelford looked determined to commit suicide when after, winning the toss, he gave Wellington first use of the half-gale angling across the field. Harbour were slow starters in their first three National Championship outings and Shelford’s gesture looked a sure invitation for Wellington to rattle up a winning first half score. But it did not turn out that way. Wellington may be used to playing in a half gale but they are not used to paddling around in the mud at Onewa Domain. Wellington simply got bogged down in their own forward drills, were forced into error behind the advantage line and Harbour thrived on the mistakes. Harbour pinned in their own territory for the majority of the first half showed no signs of a slow start. The forwards were primed to their work early, the backs made the tackles that counted and Wellington attacks were nipped in the mud. Harbour took their chances with the scores tied at 9-all at halftime, were tidy enough in the second half to keep the win secure.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck gets tackled. Shaun Johnson in action. Photos courtesy of www.photosport.nz Matulino Named on Bench by Richard Becht EN MATULINO’S comeback moves a step closer with his inclusion in the extended 21-man squad for Bthe Vodafone Warriors’ traditional Anzac Day NRL clash against the Storm at AMII Park in Melbourne next Tuesday (7.00pm kick-off local time; 9.00pm NZT). While the match is still a week away, the Vodafone Warriors are required to submit their squad as usual to- day. In doing so, head coach Stephen Kearney has included the 28-year-old Matulino in his line-up of eight inter- change contenders. The senior prop, four games short of becoming just the club’s fourth 200-game player, has been sidelined following knee surgery. “Ben’s getting closer,” said Kearney. “He has been making good progress since returning to full training and should be ready to play soon.” When he does make his comeback, Matulino will join the handful of players who have appeared across 10 NRL seasons for the Vodafone Warriors – Stacey Jones, Awen Guttenbeil, Lance Hohaia, Jerome Ropati, Manu Vatuvei, Simon Mannering and Sam Rapira. Matulino’s inclusion on the bench is the only change from the 21-man squad initially named for last Satur- day’s clash against Canberra. He joins Nathaniel Roache, Charlie Gubb, Ligi Sao, Sam Lisone, Bunty Afoa, Ata Hingano and Mason Lino on the extended bench.

  • Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League Phillip Borell
    He iti hoki te mokoroa: Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Māori and Indigenous Studies in the University of Canterbury By Phillip Borell University of Canterbury 2012 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore the influences and contributions of Māori to the establishment and development of the sport of rugby league in New Zealand. The overarching question of this thesis is how have Māori influenced and contributed to the development of rugby league in New Zealand? This thesis examines the international social history of rugby league from the origins of rugby league as a sport following the split in rugby union in England through to the contemporary status of Māori within the game as an elite sport in New Zealand and overseas. By examining Māori involvement in rugby league it is my intention to place Māori at the centre of the explanation for the establishment and development, past and present, of the sport in New Zealand, and also globally. While there have been some previous accounts of the affiliation between Māori and rugby league (Coffey and Wood, 2008; Greenwood, 2008; Falcous, 2007) this thesis compiles accounts from disparate sources in order to outline the history of Māori involvement and achievement in the development stages of rugby league. Key areas of focus for this thesis include the early Māori tours of 1908 and 1909, the development of the New Zealand Māori Rugby League as an independent entity separate from the New Zealand Rugby League and the contemporary influences of Māori on rugby league.
