Recently Whakatū hosted it’s first Super Rugby Aupiki game – Matatū faced the Blues.
Whakatū is considered a home for Te Matatū, so following tikanga, the full team of 33 were welcomed onto Whakatū Marae ahead of the game.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rārua were delighted to attend the opening of new tech and innovation hub Te Au Pūngao in Wairau last week, along with Te Rūnanga a Rangitāne o Wairau and dignitaries from local and central government.
For those Ngāti Rārua who participated in Te Aka Tairoa, nga mihi ki a koe!
Your input has been truly valued and has formed the basis of a set of recommendations forwarded to the Rūnanga.
