Rippa Nationals

Our Y5/6 Rippa Rugby team, representing Wellington, had an amazing time at the Rippa Rugby National tournament.  The tournament was played over 2 days (Monday 22nd - Tuesday 23rd August).

Results as follows:
Day 1: 
v Southland - L
v Wanganui - D
v Hawkes Bay - W
v Counties-Manukau - L

Day 2:
v Bluff - W
v Tasman - L
v Northland - L

KEY: W= Win, L=Loss, D=Draw
*Our overall rank for the tournament was 12th out of 20 teams.  We are the first Wellington team to win any games in the 6 year history of the tournament, which is AWESOME!

The tournament and organisation of the event was well run and managed by NZ Rugby.  A real highlight for the kids was meeting the All Blacks on Monday night...just magic!

Well done team...you did us proud.
