A new rugby season beckons — and with it comes a newly-designed shirt to be worn by Hautapu Sports’ three senior men’s teams.
Apparel partners Dynasty Sport have produced a visually-stunning shirt, with multiple features to recognise and remember those who have gone before.
Captain and vice captains chosen for new season
Hautapu Sports have named their on-field leaders for their defence of rugby’s Breweries Shield with Jonty Short appointed captain of the Premier A team.
Backing up Short are the 2024 vice captains, Quintony Ngatai and Tahere Reha.
