Canterbury Rugby is packing down with leading outdoor adventure brand Bushbuck in a new partnership that unites two of New Zealand’s great passions — rugby and the great outdoors.

Canterbury Rugby is pleased to confirm the extension of NPC head coach Marty Bourke through to 2025 along with Assistant Coaches Alex Robertson, Craig Dunlea and Matt Todd.

Seven Cantabrians have been nominated for awards in New Zealand Rugby’s ASB Rugby Awards, with recognition stretching across the rugby fraternity, with community, Farah Palmer Cup and NPC members all recognised for their outstanding achievements this season.

The final video of the 2023 Canterbury Rugby Awards celebrated our top two sides, our NPC and Farah Palmer Cup teams.

Last night saw us tune into our Representative Awards, looking at the pathways that help create the future stars of Canterbury Rugby.

On Wednesday night, we celebrated our Community Rugby awards, highlighting the impressive efforts of those who make our club and schools game tick.

Players from 13 Clubs and six of Canterbury’s senior representative sides feature in the Canterbury XV squad to take on the New Zealand Heartland XV in Methven next week, showcasing the incredible depth present throughout Canterbury Rugby.

The School of the Year will be future focused; innovating and challenging the norm while providing a structure and environment that attracts and includes participants of all skill levels and diversities.
