Matatū are excited to announce an updated venue for our first-ever home game in Ōtautahi Christchurch. The South Island’s only Super Rugby Aupiki team will take the field at Ngā Puna Wai on 4 March 2023, taking on the Hurricanes Poua in Round 2 of the 2023 competition.

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.
