The Rugby Way
The Rugby Way | Te Ara Ranga Tira
The Rugby Way is a set of shared values and behaviours for everyone in our game. It unites us in a common purpose.
Be Passionate | Te Pou Ihiihi
Rugby is more than just a game. It builds communities and creates a lifelong love of the sport. We love what we do. We take part because it’s fun and we connect with others. We act for the good of the game, respecting its heritage, history and heroes. We’re team players, connecting with people and the community for the greater good.
Be Our Best | Te Pou Hiranga
We strive for excellence on and off the field, driven by a belief that rugby can improve people’s lives. We are committed to improving, whether we’re chasing wins or simply taking part. We aim to develop well-rounded people by investing in their growth, and we take every opportunity to positively influence and support our community.
Be Welcoming | Te Pou Maioha
Rugby is a game for all, whatever our background, beliefs or identity. We are open to every community that wants to be involved. We create meaningful pathways for everyone to take part, whether playing, coaching, managing, refereeing or administering. We promote an inclusive culture in every club, field and office that welcomes all ages, genders, ethnicities, sexualities, religions and physical abilities.
Play Fair | Te Pou Tika
We do what we say we’ll do, and act with honesty and integrity at all times. We play with respect on the field, respecting the officials, our opponents, our teammates and their safety. We behave with integrity off the field and take responsibility for our own behaviour. We look after our mates and step in. We are what we walk past. When we get something wrong, we front up. We own the action and the consequence, and we believe in the power of the game to restore and improve people.
