We are fortunate as a region to have one of the highest percentages of local players in our Mitre 10 Squad who also committed to club rugby in Southland in 2019.
We’re also stoked that Morgan, Mike and Marty, who have been playing internationally at club and Super level during the off season, have returned to where it all began for them, here in Southland!
Thank you to all of our clubs, sponsors and fans for your ongoing support!
