‼️INTRODUCING Zekiah Te Kowhai Rangiaho‼️

This will be Zekiah's first rugby union international 7s competition and we are very excited to see what this journey will bring for him, he is fast and not afraid to hit hard 💯

Message from our Polynesian Panthers 🐾Manager:

To our players — this is your moment. Be proud of yourselves, be proud of your families and be proud of the jersey you're wearing. Enjoy every second because you'll never get this exact moment back.

To our families — thank you for trusting us with your boys and for supporting them through this journey. It truly takes a village.

And to every sponsor, supporter, volunteer, family member and person who has contributed along the way — thank you. Whether you donated, bought something at a fundraiser, shared a post, cooked food, gave your time or simply encouraged us, you have played a part in getting these boys to Bali.
What started as an idea has become a reality because people believed in these young men.

ONE TEAM. ONE HEART. ONE PURPOSE. 🖤💙

🏉 Bali Rugby 2026 🇮🇩

The Polynesian Panthers are excited to take on an incredible opportunity to travel to Bali in October 2026 and compete on the international rugby stage.

The Bali Rugby tournament brings together teams from across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and beyond, creating an amazing environment for players to test themselves against new opposition, experience different styles of rugby and build friendships with teams from around the world.

For our players, this tour is about so much more than rugby. It’s about representing the Polynesian Panthers, embracing our culture and identity, creating lifelong memories and growing together as a team.

Our players will have the chance to challenge themselves, learn from every game and experience the excitement of touring internationally.
Most importantly, we want them to enjoy the journey, play with pride and represent their families, team and community with heart, respect and determination.

One team. One journey. One unforgettable experience. 🖤💚🏉🌴

Thank you once again to Pereira and Sons Painting for their kindness in supporting our social rugby team. We appreciate you so much 😊
