Rugby is a game for everyone!
Rugby in Canterbury
Split across three sections, Junior, Teenage and Senior, our Community game has something for everyone. We encourage our players to get involved, have fun and enjoy our nation’s game.
For the Juniors, Under 6 through to Under 13, our game is adapted to suit our little ones, with Small Blacks law variations, as well as dedicated Rip Rugby Grades to both introduce and keep kids interested in our game. Our Teenage section covers our Under 14’s through to the Under 18’s, including both the Miles Toyota Cup and Championship competitions too. Senior Rugby is home to everything else, covering both Men’s and Women’s rugby from Classics to Premiers.
