Sports Hub Launches Ticket Sales for Super Rugby 2017 SPORTS HUB LAUNCHES TICKET SALES FOR SUPER RUGBY 2017 Singapore, 12 December 2016 – The Singapore Sports Hub today announced that tickets for the 2017 Super Rugby Season will go on sale on 13 December 2016, 10am. Members of the public can purchase category one tickets for all three matches at the price of two during the promotional period till 31 December 2016. There will also be a 15 percent discount for single match category one tickets purchased within the promotional period. During the inaugural season of Super Rugby in Singapore this year, close to 30,000 spectators turned up at the National Stadium to support their home team – the HITO-Communications SUNWOLVES. Despite being one of the newcomers in the 2016 Super Rugby season, SUNWOLVES played three nail-biting matches at the Hub, with a draw and two narrow losses. The SUNWOLVES, who will be playing three matches in Singapore have announced their team players for the 2017 season and their new jerseys (see Appendix A for SUNWOLVES squad and jersey). SUNWOLVES Head Coach, Filo Tiatia said, “What is really exciting is that we have 21 players that have experienced Super Rugby, including SUNWOLVES players from the 2016 season such as Willem Britz who has played 23 caps in Super Rugby, Edward Quirk and Miyaki Mori who both had outstanding performance last year for SUNWOLVES. With these players, we are really excited to get started and become the Sunwolves for 2017.” Filo Tiatia is a two cap former All Black player who is well versed in Japanese Rugby and culture, having played and coached Toyota-Verblitz between 2002-2006. Tiatia was also the SUNWOLVES’s former head coach Mark Hammett’s assistant coach in charge of the forwards in their debut season. In the upcoming 2017 Super Rugby matches, the SUNWOLVES will play a total of 15 matches, with three out of seven of their home matches at Singapore’s National Stadium – against the Kings (4 March 2017), the Stormers (25 March 2017) and the Sharks (20 May 2017). Tickets are priced from $30 onwards and will be available from 13 December 2016, 10am via the Sports Hub Tix website www.sportshubtix.sg, hotline +65 3158 7888, Sports Hub Tix Box Office at Singapore Indoor Stadium and all SingPost outlets (see Appendix B for ticketing information). Super Rugby is the Southern Hemisphere's pre-eminent rugby tournament, featuring 18 teams from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Japan. SUNWOLVES is the first Asian team in the expanded Super Rugby league, and is co-based in both Japan and Singapore.

  • Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
    1 Victoria University of Wellington School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Sepelini Mua’au A thesis submitted to the University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Masters in Arts (Theatre) 2016 2 Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Abstract This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full- length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice- based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second, how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights.

The SUNWOLVES return to the Southeast Asian city state coming off their first historic win here in June last year against the Bulls. They will be aiming to kick off their campaign with a winning start to their 2019 Super Rugby season with Saturday’s opener. The SUNWOLVES arrived in Singapore on Wednesday fresh from pre-season training in Australia and are looking forward to the staunch support from their fans in Singapore. Last year’s win at the National Stadium saw them achieve their best Super Rugby record. The SUNWOLVES are determined to boost their record this season, by clinching their first victory ever over the Durban side. Head Coach Scott Hansen, who is taking charge of the side while Tony Brown is away on national duty with Japan, shared his thoughts on the team selection: “We’ve picked the best team for this occasion and how it’s been picked is through pre-season and the efforts that have been there. We also have players coming back from injury so we’re excited by the team we’ve picked for this occasion.

The US and Russian initiative, which emerged from talks with a 17-nation group, foresees a rapid ceasefire on private visit in the almost five-year conflict, perhaps as early as next month. If the plan brings Bashar Al-Assad’s regime to the table with the armed opposition, it will allow Russian and US-led forces to focus their firepower on the Islamic State group. “In January we hope and expect to be at the table and to be able to implement a full ceasefire,” US Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters. “And that means all the bar- rel bombs will stop, all the bombing, all the shooting, all the attacks on either side.” The Security Council met Friday after the latest round of talks by the International Syria Support Group (ISSG), which had gathered in New York to renew its push for peace.
