Not all pyramids are made in Egypt — some are built right here with teamwork and dirty knees!

These awesome kids put their hands up to play in the Year 5/6 Traffic Safe NZ Rippa Tournament in Hāwera today. We’re grateful, as always, to Kakaramea School for welcoming our players into their social team, and to Thomas Werder for leading the squad.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

A huge thanks to St Joseph’s School in Stratford and their coach Richard Weir for welcoming two of our girls into their Tackle 5 team today, and to Kakaramea School and coach David Reid for combining with our boys for the tournament - an awesome new format designed to bridge the gap between rippa and rugby.

Our keen kids had a session last week with Finn from the TRFU teaching them tackle techniques in preparation and it was great to see them put those skills into action today.

We’re already looking forward to doing it again next year!
