🐧 U7 Penguins - Junior Team of the Week 🏉🔥🟢🟠

Week after week the U7 Penguins girls team line up against the boys teams and never take a backward step, playing with confidence and passion for the game.

Lots of laughs along the way and showing each other support out on the rugby field.

Their skills both on attack and defence have improved immensely in the few weeks we have had so far the 2026 season and we are excited to take off the bright pink rips and get into tackle in the coming weeks!

Go Penguins!

Things we love to see: another weekend of former Ranga juniors showing their skills on the Auckland 1st XV stage - this time in the Botany v Sacred Heart fixture.

Awesome to see the next generation continuing their rugby journey.

🦖 U6 Raptors - Junior Team of the Week 🏉🔥

The Under 6 Raptors are a formidable force within the Under 6 Grade 💪 with some sidestepping speedsters 🏃‍♂️💨 and committed little rippers 😤🏉

We have been focussing on keeping our defensive line strong 🛡️ and making sure we are jogging backwards on defence with our eyes always forward 👀 toward the opposition.

The team are having heaps of fun 😄 and it is awesome to see so many talented young superstars ⭐ coming through the ranks at Pakuranga 🟢🟠 showing just how bright the future is at the club 🔔🌳
