RUGBY
Rugby 1st XV

Rugby has developed into one of our marquee codes over the past decade

 

In 2007, our 1st XV competed in the 3rd grade, (U76kg). However, by 2018, they just missed out on top 4 in the prestigious Auckland 1B competition, placing 5th for the highest finish in the school’s history.

 

We have a strong development structure and cater for social and learning players, through to elite. Many of our student athletes also represent Auckland in age groups. In addition, we have a number of ex-students who play in the blue and white hoops.

HEAD OF RUGBY

Darren Jardine is Head of the Health & Physical Education Faculty at Pakuranga College. He also has 17 years experience as a rugby coach. Originally from Ireland, he worked with the U18 Auckland Divisional Reps team for 4 years, and is now coach for the Auckland East U14 team.
