The two cups appear identical but the Everyone involved in the Heartland Meads Cup (left) has a silver base while the Lahore Cup (right) sits on a wooden Championship has immense love for base. the game. We are delighted to have the continued support of Mitre 10 for the Heartland Championship (Meads Cup): as well as the Premier (Lohore Cup) division: Farah Palmer Cup and Jock Hobbs Memorial National Under 19 tournament, which is a fantastic commitment to provincial rugby. Last year Wanganui won the Meads Cup for the fifth time, by winning all of their 10 matches in the Mitre 10 Heartland Championship. They became the second team to record a 100 percent record – matching the effort of their own team of 2008. Their 440 points scored in the Championship was a new record, passing their 2011 total of 426.. Last years Lochore Cup final saw a repeat of the 2015 contenders battling for top spot. On this occasion, North Otago reversed the 2015 result with their 44-22 win over King Country. As well as being a great opportunity for players to get out and play with their mates, the Mitre 10 Heartland Championship can be a pathway to further honours for players, coaches, referees and administrators, including involvement with the Heartland XV. Throughout other national teams - including the All Blacks, Investec Super Rugby and Mitre 10 Cup there are many who started out with Heartland rugby. I would like to thank all the members of the media who cover the Mitre 10 Heartland Championship, especially those who attend training nights, regularly turn up on the side-lines and travel around the country to cover their local team and share their stories. The hard work that you put in and the stories you relate are essential to the success of our Heartland competition. I hope you enjoy the rugby and that you find this guide useful.

    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.
