The end of an era is approaching 💙

Kendra Cocksedge, Matatū player #28 and the most capped @blackferns player of all time has announced her impending retirement from rugby after the upcoming World Cup.

2degrees have been running a nationwide campaign called “Path2Greatness” offering $50,000 (10x $5,000) to secondary schools girls rugby teams. We'd like to congratulate Nayland College, Southland Girls High School, and Geraldine High as the teams within the Matatū to be awarded this prize.

Neither the Hurricanes nor Matatū had previously won in the inaugural women’s Super Rugby and fought tooth and nail in another entertaining spectacle that welcomed Black Ferns great Kendra Cocksedge into the historic competition.

The Matatū medical team has provided the following update on the injury to Marcelle Parkes.

The lineup has been announced to face Hurricanes Poua in the final round on Sunday.

The Blues have set up a grandstand finish for Super Rugby Aupiki after Covid-related reshuffles after beating Matatū 21-10 in their thrilling debut match on Tuesday night.

Matatū team named to take on the Blues in their Tuesday night clash.
