Congratulations Thomas Webster 👏🏽 East Auckland to the 🌏

A huge milestone for one of our own, congratulations Thomas Webster who hit the half century test caps in Mudgee! 👏🏽

Reaching 50 international appearances at Opens level is an incredible achievement, and a reflection of years of dedication, sacrifice and excellence in the middle. To officiate at that level once is special - to do it 50 times is something truly remarkable.

You continue to make your whānau, your province and our wider Touch referee community immensely proud. Your commitment to the game, professionalism and leadership have set a standard for so many coming through.

Congratulations on an outstanding achievement and thank you for everything you continue to give to our sport.

Congratulations to Pete Walters ONZM, who was this weekend honoured as a Life Member of the Auckland Touch Association.

Pete’s contribution to the game spans decades, with service to touch both in Aotearoa and internationally that is widely respected, appreciated, and celebrated. “Mr Touch” is a name known across the global community.

His list of accolades reflects this remarkable legacy, including multiple honours from Touch New Zealand - a Service Award (1998), Players Award (2004), and the Distinguished Service Award (2016). In 2022, Pete was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to touch rugby.

Adding Life Membership with Auckland Touch is a fitting recognition of an outstanding career and lifelong commitment to the sport.
