New all women's rugby club started in Wairarapa

From Afternoons, 1:10 pm on 15 May 2023

There are now two all women's rugby clubs established separately from men's clubs banners in Aotearoa.

The latest is Wairarapa Wāhine Toa, a region where the number of young girls interested in signing up to play rugby is exceeding the number of boys looking to play.

Wāhine Toa coach Scott Collins talks to Jesse about the fresh start for women in rugby in their region and what it means for the future of the sport for them.
