Grassroots Rugby
Grassroots rugby is at the heart of every community in New Zealand. Whether it’s spending weeknights training or Saturday mornings cheering from the sidelines, Kiwis come together for the love of the game. We’re excited to see Bunnings support the game by improving the clubs that serve our communities. That’s where Bunnings Rugby Assist comes in. In partnership with New Zealand Rugby, Bunnings Warehouse has created Bunnings Rugby Assist to support community rugby clubs across the country.
This year, ten rugby clubs from throughout Aotearoa have been named as the latest recipients of Bunnings Rugby Assist and are set to receive $30,000 to put towards upgrading their facilities for the benefit of the women’s game.
