Rugby coming up in March and April [updated 10 March]

There is plenty of rugby coming up leading into the opening rounds of the 2021 club rugby competitions in the lower North Island.

Below is an unofficial calendar of what is coming up. It is intended that this will be updated when we receive more information, particularly around club rugby pre-season matches throughout March (some of which have yet to be locked in) and also school rugby which springs to life in March and April.

Many pre-season club rugby matches are also intra-squad clashes, involving Premier, Premier Reserve and Colts squads.
