Waikato Rugby

Left it all out there down south.

A huge shift from the boys in a massive battle with Otago. ❤️💛🖤

Your half time score 📣

All set for a big night down south 👊

28–19 ✅

A huge second-half effort from the girls to pull away and get the job done in round one. Well done girls 👏👏

What a shift from the girls 🌧️

True wet-weather footy out there, but they stuck at it and kept fighting right through.

A gritty one to start the season ❤️💛🖤

Round 1 for the girls ❤️💛🖤

If you’re keen to catch the action but can’t make it up to Counties today, you can watch the game live over on the Counties socials 📲

Get behind the girls as they kick off their 2026 campaign 🐮🏉

Reckon you’re the fastest tradie in the Waikato? 👀 Time to prove it.

Willie’s Annual Tradie 100 is back for our double header on Saturday 5 September, with the race going down at half-time of the NPC game 🏃‍♂️💨

Girls, boys, sparkies, builders, plumbers, painters, we want the quickest tradies in the Waikato lining up. There’ll be prizes up for grabs for the winners, plus prizes for the best dressed tradies, so come ready to race and look the part 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

Make a night of it and head to Te Rapa Tavern for the official pre-game, where you can score a FREE ticket to the game + a FREE handle before heading to FMG Stadium.
