The Makos gained respect in New Zealand rugby by the way they played the game and were justifiably rewarded in winning the championship final in a very tense encounter against Hawkes Bay in Nelson.

Introduction INTRODUCTION New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has recently adopted a rugby strategy for 2018 – 2020. One of the challenges identified was Secondary School Rugby and how to address the many issues facing rugby within that environment. The alignment of Secondary School Rugby within the wider NZ Rugby system is also a consideration. NZR aims for a teenage rugby delivery system that allows for as many players who want to play to do so, in an environment that develops a life-long love of the game and strength of character, at the same time as providing aspirational and developmental pathways. These pathways start the process of preparing talented players to play in successful teams in black. NZR wanted the review to have a high degree of independence and following a contestable process, EdSol NZ, an educational consultancy company was contracted to carry out the work.

Issues of Power in a History of Women’s Football in New Zealand: A Foucauldian Genealogy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Waikato by BARBARA DOUGLAS COX MBE Department of Sport and Leisure Studies School of Education University of Waikato 2010 ABSTRACT In the majority of countries throughout the world, football is a highly popular sport for women and girls and one which continues to grow in playing numbers. According to FIFA, 26 million females were registered as football players in its member countries, an increase of four million players within the past five years (FIFA Big Count, 2006). Despite such popularity of participation, histories of women‟s football „speak‟ of exclusion, struggle and conflict, and thus, the prime question which underpins this study is: “how has women‟s football in New Zealand gone from a position of struggle to a point where the game is perceived as a „normal‟ sporting activity for women and girls?” In order to examine this question, I have used Michel Foucault‟s concept of conducting a „history of the present‟, a genealogical approach which accounts for the “constitution of knowledges, discourses, domains of objects and so on...” (Foucault, 1978, p.

  • 'It's Part of Who I Am'
    ‘It’s part of who I am’: Tā’aloga ma fa’asinomaga ma fa’aSāmoa - Sport, identity, and culture in the lives of Samoan-New Zealanders Joshua Connolly A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Cultural Anthropology 2018 Abstract Samoan-New Zealanders have become increasingly prominent within New Zealand sport since the mid-20th century. Despite the apparent desirability of players with Pacific Island heritage their presence is also met with resistance and apprehension in both professional and amateur settings. Discourse that frames the relationship between Samoan-New Zealanders and sport often does so in terms that rely on stereotypes and the naturalisation of sporting ability and participation suggesting that they are ‘built’ for sport. This thesis offers a counternarrative to such discourse exploring the ways in which sport, particularly rugby, is a culturally embedded practice for Samoan-New Zealanders. I argue that for Samoan-New Zealanders sport exists as an example of Marcel Mauss’s fait social total or Total Social Phenomenon (TSP) by virtue of the range of cultural institutions and practices that find expression within it. As such it is deeply and uniquely immersed within the fa’aSāmoa or Samoan culture. This thesis is based on seven months of ethnographic fieldworK, participant observation, and talanoa conducted in Wellington, New Zealand. It seeKs to explore the ways in which sport is a culturally embedded practice as a means of interrogating the notion that Samoan-New Zealanders are ‘born to play sport’. i Acknowledgements There is no conceivable way this thesis would have been completed without the support of phenomenal people.

  • Tackling Mäori Masculinity: a Colonial Genealogy of Savagery and Sport
    Tackling Mäori Masculinity: A Colonial Genealogy of Savagery and Sport Brendan Hokowhitu Contextualization In the nineteenth century Mäori masculine physicality was, like the untamed countryside, something to be conquered and civilized; in the twentieth century it was something to be harnessed to provide manual labor for New Zealand’s developing colonial nation; in the twenty-first century it has become a spectacle played out by the overachievement of täne (Mäori men) on the sports field.1 So how did a Mäori boy, who once reveled in the physicality of rugby and other physical pursuits, and who has completed bachelor, master’s, and doctoral degrees in physical edu- cation and sport, come to such conclusions? As a youth, my passion for the physical was not dissimilar to that of many boys of my age who grew up in rural New Zealand. I was raised in a masculine culture where it was necessary for both Mäori and Päkehä males to demonstrate their physical aptitude.2 In my hometown of Öpö- tiki,3 physical conquests, especially in sport, gave me confidence and allowed me to strive for success without facing ridicule. In contrast, aca- demic achievement was at best acknowledged but usually derided. Males had to be extremely confident in their physicality or face social ostracism. So embroiled in this masculine culture was I, that I believed it defined all New Zealand men, both Mäori and Päkehä. Looking back, however, I realize that while physicality was a common definer of New Zealand males, Mäori boys often faced barriers to the nonphysical realm that Päkehä boys did not.
