Otago Spirit

The Super Rugby Aupiki season is a week away!

It’s awesome to see several of our Spirit wāhine taking their game to the big stage and representing our region across the country.

We will them all the very best with the Super season! 💙💛

Special mention to Zaria, Leila and Honour, who have also had the opportunity to train with the Matatū wider squad during preseason – a great step in their journey.

Otago Spirit trial teams have been named 💙💛

Mata-au and Waitaki go head-to-head on Saturday 20 June at Logan Park 6 and we can’t wait to see this group get stuck in! Come out and support your club players.💪

Good luck to everyone named!

Quick heads up 👇
If you can’t make training on the 16 or 18 June, send Cathy Charles (021 027 97600) a message.

Smiles from our Spirit girls!!

Great way to start the season 🔥

Leave it all on the field Maddie!

Show them what you’re made of Eilis, Naomi, Charlotte, Maia, Sarah, Abigail and Leila!

Good luck Greer and Tegan!

2025 was an incredible year for Rugby in Otago!

We still have limited opportunities to partner with both our FPC and NPC teams this year, backing our amazing teams while also getting your businesses in front of thousands of people.

A few keys stats from the competitions last year:
- 9% increase in viewers watching the NPC
- 29% increase in total hours watched of the NPC
- 2.4 million views on this page alone
- 48.5% increase in content interactions.
