Massive shoutout to everyone who came through to our
Easter Sunday Community Fun Day — you all brought
the vibes! 🙌🏽💯

Looks like the Easter Bunny definitely showed up fit
this year… or maybe he just came for the sausage
sizzle and spot prizes 😆🌭🎁

From the bouncy castles and face painting to the
laughs, runs, and good energy — it was awesome
seeing so many tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau
getting involved and having a go at Rugby101 🏉🔥

That’s what it’s all about for us — community, fun, and
giving it a crack 💪🏽

Big love to everyone who came down, had a run,
supported, or just pulled up for a good time — we
appreciate you all! 🙌🏽💛

🎥 Check out the highlights from the day below — you
might spot yourself in there! 👀🔥

Until next time…
Outplay. Outwit. Outrun. 🏉💥

Kaimanawa Reserve, Taupō 📍
12–4pm — Family Fun Day 🎉

Yes… it’s a wet one 🌧️ BUT the players are still turning up like it’s the World Cup final 💪😂

If you’re stuck for ideas today (or the kids are climbing the walls 🧗‍♂️😅), come down and check out the action!

We’ve got giveaways happening 🎁👀 — and let’s be honest, everything’s more fun when you’re slightly damp anyway 😆

We also have Rippa

Bring a jacket, bring the whanau, and bring a good sense of humour

Morena whānau! 🌧️☀️

Rain or shine, we’re still on today at Kaimanawa Reserve from 12pm–4pm 🙌 Come down anytime, bring your mates, and jump on the field for some fun!

We’re excited to be running Rippa today — perfect for a low-pressure, all-ages chance to give it a go, have a laugh, and build some confidence 💪

We made it on Seven Sharp ! 🤯🏉

Tonight Rugby101 was featured, and honestly… what a moment.
So proud to see our game, our people, and our purpose shared with the country.

And hey Jeremy Wells … you said you’d be good at it 👀
