We’re rugby fans. Especially New Zealand rugby.
We wanted to create a place for New Zealand rugby players…from fans…to teams looking for players…to Kiwi rugby players themselves. Here it is.
We hope you like what you see. If you do, tell your friends. If not, tell us by email or on NZ Rugby Player’s Facebook page.
How it Started
I love rugby. It started with playing bare feet on freezing frost bitten grounds, munching on peanut slabs watching Dad play on Saturday and being stoked at finally playing 15s and wearing boots…real studded boots! The love grew by getting up with Dad in the middle of the night to watch the All Blacks play in some fog drenched ground in Europe (thanks Mum for the toast) and has continued to grow as rugby emerged into the professional, global sport and entertainment it is today.
And if you love rugby, especially New Zealand rugby, you’ve come to the right place.
It will be the place for fans of New Zealand rugby players from past players (including legends like Colin Meads, Sean Fitzpatrick and Jonah Lomu) to current kiwis playing at home or overseas like Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Carl Hayman.It’s not just for current or ex All Blacks though. We’ll have information on all NZ players from Robbie Robinson to Aaron Smith.
It will cover rugby union, rugby 7s and more. From the Air NZ Cup to Super 15, Tri Nations (soon to be four nations), Heienken Cup, the Rugby World Cup and more.
You’ll find player profiles, match reports and news on all your favourite New Zealand rugby players. And you’ll find a place to leave your comments or read what others think as well.
But it’s also the home for Kiwi rugby players (professional, semi professional or amateaur) looking for resources like teams looking for players, coaches or administrators…training and playing tips…coaching advice and more. Players agents are welcome too!
It’s also for rugby teams and clubs in New Zealand and around the world looking for the best New Zealand rugby talent (players, coaches and administors).
Basically, this is your ultimate rugby resource for everything New Zealand rugby.
We’ll be kicking off fully soon. In the meantime I’ll be posting a few match reports (consider it the curtain raiser). If you have any questions or suggestions for what you’d like to see on the site please post on our Facebook page.
