🏉 Women & Girls Referee Course

On Wednesday night, we had the privilege of having Maggie Cogger-Orr run a Women & Girls referee course at Eden Park 🏟️

They covered off all the basics: whistle, signal, tackle, and plenty more - all whilst enjoying some dinner and drinks! We hope to see plenty of them take their first step into refereeing with the ARRA

⭐ Referee Spotlight – David Jordan ⭐

Meet David Jordan. New to the association in 2025, David has come back for his second season and is already making huge strides. He’s stepped up into some of our top school games and continues to show real growth every time he’s out in the middle.

You’ll see David at just about every meeting, asking great questions and always putting his hand up for extra games. His attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn are great signs for the future!

We’re really looking forward to seeing David continue to develop and grow within the association 👏

Check out a little about David and make sure you say hello next time you see him out there 👋

A huge congratulations to Peter Thompson on being recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours with a CNZM for services to philanthropy and rugby.

As one of our valued Gold Sponsors, we have seen firsthand the impact Peter continues to make, not only within our association but across sport and the wider community. His commitment to supporting rugby at all levels, alongside the incredible contribution he and Barfoot & Thompson make to New Zealand sport, is something that deserves to be celebrated.

Peter’s passion for people, community and sport has helped create opportunities for countless athletes, volunteers, officials and organisations. This recognition is incredibly well deserved and reflects a lifetime of giving back and making a positive difference.

On behalf of the association, thank you Peter for everything you do. We are proud to have your support and congratulate you on this outstanding achievement.

PLUS: Jim Farmer, Bryan Mogridge, Karleen Everitt, Evan Davies and others recognised.
