Generally, the team facing the challenge will line up on their own 10m line and ‘front up’. This is seen as the most respectful. Three cheers are performed at theend of the match and players shake hands with the opposition. Some clubs willperform a haka but it is less common than with school teams. It pays to ask beforethe game starts whether there will be a haka. Some teams may perform their hakaat the end of the game.

Mouthguards: Mouthgurards are compulsory at all levels of rugby in New Zealand.The ref will inspect that you have a mouthguard at the start of the game.

Rugby Rules: Crutch binding in the scrums is permitted in New Zealand age grouprugby. Lifting in the lineout is not permitted from U13 and below.

also invited to speak. There is always an exchange of gifts. This can take the formof a plaque/pendant, club or school ties, player’s jersey, touring booklet, pins/badges, beanies or something else that has been prepared. Food is then served.
