Our 2026 Hilux NPC campaign comes to an end in Christchurch, with Canterbury taking the win. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค

It's not the way we wanted to finish, but we're incredibly proud of our boys and the hard work, commitment and heart they've shown, both on and off the field, representing Waikato throughout the season.

To Canterbury, congratulations on an outstanding performance today.

To our supporters, sponsors, families and whฤnau, how lucky are we to have you all behind us. Through the highs and lows, you continue to show up and back our boys, and we never take that for granted. Thank you for being part of our 2026 journey. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค

Thereโ€™s plenty to reflect on, learn from and build on. Our eyes are already on 2027, and thereโ€™s plenty of hunger to come back stronger. Watch this space.

Once Waikato, always Waikato. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค
