⚫️🔴 50 Games for Taka!⚫️🔴

This weekend marks a special milestone as Takamasa Hoshiyama runs out for his 50th game in club colours.

The kid from Japan who made Papakura his home, Taka first pulled on the jersey in 2021, making his debut against Waiuku Premiers in Round 1. Originally from Wakayama, Japan, and born in Hong Kong, Taka has become a much-loved part of our club, community, and rugby whānau.

Away from the field, Taka is a high school teacher, helping shape the next generation, while on the field he has earned the respect of teammates, coaches, and supporters through his commitment, work ethic, and willingness to always put the team first.

50 games is no small achievement, especially for someone who travelled across the world and found a second home here at Papakura. It’s a testament to the friendships built, the memories made, and the passion he has for the club.

As this is also our last home game of the season, we’re calling on all our old boys, past players, supporters, families, and friends to come down and celebrate with us.

Let’s pack the sidelines, get behind the team, and show Taka the appreciation he deserves for reaching this fantastic milestone.

Congratulations Taka on 50 games, here’s to many more! 🇯🇵

The ladies are heading over to Eden Rugby tonight to play Eden Women’s. Kick off at 7pm.
If your in the area come down and support ❤️🖤
