THIS WEEKS RUGBY ACTION:
This week we welcome some regional-level youth competition with the U19 Rarotonga v Aituaki Rugby 15s series of matches to be played on Tuesday and Friday this week.
Brief Background: The CIRU vision was to create a youth competition pathway from home inclusive of our outer families………….. so in 2019 the inaugural U19 Rarotonga v Aitutaki Rugby 15s series was played in Aitutaki and this ended in a drawn 1-all series with; Rarotonga winning Game #1: 15 – 6 and then Aitutaki reversed the ledger by winning Game #2: 15 – 9.
