    • Pioneers of Rugby in Wellington 035: Albert de Clifton
      • The Wellington representative team in 1919, with Albert de Clifton circled.  Then, as now, several well-known players stayed in the game post-retirement and became referees. In the early years, people like J.P. Firth and Peter Webb were prominent officials as well as players (in a couple of instances doing both at the same time) and...

    • Aisle be Back: Hurricanes v Moana Pasifika
      • By Kevin McCarthy Four games in and the Hurricanes sit third in Super Rugby – although it doesn’t feel like they’ve done anything terrific yet in the season. They could have not squandered a late bonus point against the Waratahs last weekend, and losing to the Blues was ugly, but there’s not much else to...

    • Final weekend of pre-season for club rugby teams
      • It is the final weekend of preparations before the start of the Premier club rugby competitions in Wellington, Manawatu and elsewhere, while the Horowhenua-Kapiti competition gets underway.

    • Hurricanes U20s come from behind to beat Highlanders U20s
      • In a thrilling encounter at Owen Delany Park in Taupo this afternoon, the Hurricanes U20s defeated the Highlanders U20s 36-26 to book their place in the final against the Blues U20s this coming Saturday. The Hurricanes team was: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hurricanes (@hurricanesrugby)   It was a tough start...

    • Aisle be Back: Hurricanes v Waratahs
      • By Kevin McCarthy  When it was obvious Ardie Savea was going to sit out last week with a citing, I joked to a workmate that the Hurricanes didn’t need him, the team was that good. Of course, we did and do need him. I am pretty sure, although we can never know, that some how...

    • Pre-season club rugby and Hurricanes teams at home
      • Wainuiomata and Poneke met last Saturday and both are having internal camps this weekend. But 10 of Wellington’s Premier squads are in action in pre-season games tomorrow. PHOTO T-Paul Gale.

    • Pioneers of Rugby in Wellington 034: U.P. Calcinai
      • U.P. Calcinai was one of two brothers that were fixtures in Poneke teams for a decade and a half in the early years of last century and part of a family that was synonymous with Poneke throughout most of the 20th century as players and coaches. U.P was a bit of a late bloomer, first...

    • Two draws at Rugby League Park on Saturday
      • There were two draws involving Hurricanes teams at Rugby League Park in Wellington on Saturday, and almost a third in the first match of two at Wellington Stadium. The Huricanes U20s were first up on the day and scrambled to a 31-31 draw with the Crusaders U20s. The Crusaders U20s led 31-10 after 55 minutes...

    • Aisle be Back: Hurricanes v Blues
      • By Kevin McCarthy Move on. Move on. Heard that a bit this week, after Ardie Savea’s infamous throat-slit gesture. Moving on for some meant justifying or rationalising the act. Odd stance. You can’t really do that and expect an apology to be enough. No-one thinks it was meant in a literal sense, but guys like...

    • Feverish Finishes Part 3
      • Poneke celebrate their extra time Hardham Cup final win over Petone in 2021. In the lead-up to the 2023 season, Club Rugby is running a series on social media called Feverish Finishes. A look at some of the many crazy finishes and roaring comebacks in Wellington club rugby in recent years – of which there...

    • Aisle be Back: Hurricanes v Rebels
      • By Kevin McCarthy. We couldn’t lose to the Rebels tonight, could we? Yes, we could.  But surely it hasn’t been keeping any Hurricanes fans sleepless this week, sweating like the players were in last weekend’s thumping of the Reds. If you can’t win the title in rounds one and two, you surely can as I...

    • PIONEERS OF RUGBY IN WELLINGTON 032: Peter Webb
      • Peter Purves Webb was one of a group of the earliest players of the game in Wellington and was a founding member of the Wellington Football Club, under the leadership of James Isherwood . Webb was involved as an early player, administrator and referee of the game, and played for New Zealand on their maiden...

    • Law changes locked in for 2023 rugby season
      • Almost the only thing certain about rugby these days is ongoing change, especially when it comes to the Laws of the Game as more tweaks are made for the 2023 season. At the World Rugby level, the only change is that the five Laws trialled last year – Goal-line drop-out, the 50/22, and those around...

    • Aisle be Back: The start of the rugby season
      • By Kevin McCarthy It’s the rugby season. As always, arriving a couple of weeks, or months too early. I mean, I plan on sitting at the Basin on day four of the cricket. But by that time, round one of Super Rugby will be done and dusted. Traditionally this is when the fan lays out...

    • Three rugby matches this Saturday for Hurricanes supporters
      • The Hurricanes Poua women’s side opens its Super Rugby competition on Saturday, hosting the Chiefs Manawa at Levin.  There are three matches this Saturday for lower North Island rugby followers to watch and follow. After last week’s Wellington – Hawke’s Bay Hurricanes U20s match was called off, the scheduled third match of this series between...

    • Roigard revving up for new Hurricanes season
      • Hurricanes halfback and former speedway driver Cam Roigard flies in for his try in the Hurricanes’ pre-season win over the Crusaders in Levin last Friday. By Steven White Can Roigard is is part of the new guard for the Hurricanes. Needless to say, Roigard and the Hurricanes are looking forward to taking the field this...
