🇳🇿 CONGRATULATIONS BAURO! 🇯🇵

Congratulations to one of our own, Bauro Kairaoi, on being selected for the New Zealand Over 35s Touch Blacks for their upcoming tour of Japan! 🇳🇿🇯🇵
Bauro represented Aoraki Over 30s at the 2025 National Championships and was also part of the 2026 Kaiawa Mixed Team before unfortunately picking up an injury.

This is a huge achievement for Bauro and an even bigger moment for our club, as he becomes our first official NZ representative since Aoraki Touch was established in 2024.

We also want to acknowledge Amorangi Goldsmith, who represented the NZ Touch Blacks Over 30s prior to the establishment of Aoraki Touch. It’s awesome to now see another one of our own reaching the international stage.

Please join us in congratulating Bauro on this incredible achievement! 👏

Jump over to his page and get behind his fundraising efforts to help him make the trip to Japan. Every bit of support goes a long way! ❤️

All the best, Bauro, from everyone at Aoraki Touch Club.

The Aoraki club would like to wish questionable luck to our very own B Grade killa Blair Hanifin, who’s off to Nationals representing the Southland Over 40s 🔥

Pictured below is Blair with his project player Boston, currently being coached through Blair’s signature move the “check to absolutely no one.”A crowd favourite every Thursday night at School Park 🏉

Blair continues to age like fine w**e, if the w**e was left open in the sun for a few days. Still, he insists he can stick it in the middle, and the youth of Aoraki watch on in awe (and mild confusion) 😅

Good luck Blair! Make us proud, and try not to pass it to the opposition too often 🫡💚🖤

One last get together to celebrate an awesome season! 🏆💚

Aoraki Touch Prizegiving this Sunday, see you there!
