We're more than a rugby club; committed to community.
Ehara mātou i te karapu whutupōro anake; engari e ū ana ki te hapori.
O matou e lē na o se kalapu lakapi; e matou te galulue mo se lelei o le komiuniti.
Through our youth programs, community outreach efforts and partnerships with local organisations, we are dedicated to giving back and making a positive impact.
Our players, members, and supporters are proud to be a part of a club that is dedicated to making a difference and we are always looking for new ways to make a positive impact. We believe that by coming together and working towards a common goal, we can make our community a better place for everyone.
