Squads named for senior fixtures in Waikato Rugby competitions

posted in: News, Rugby

Hautapu Sports have named their squads for their senior Waikato Rugby club fixtures for Saturday June 28, 2025.

The Premier A team will extend their winning run to 11 if they can clinch a victory at Memorial Park against the bottom-placed Morrinsville, who have won only once this season.

The match will be for the Power Farming-sponsored George Simpkin Shield, in which Hautapu Sports will defend it for the last time this year.

A win on Saturday means the shield stays at Memorial Park till 2026.

The Premier B side continue to chase a play-off spot and are fifth on their ladder, two places ahead of opponents Otorohanga.

In the Waikato U-21 competition, Hautapu Sports have another bye.
