Auckland Rugby Referees

🏉 First Years 7s Night ☀️

Last night, we brought together our first year referees from the 15s season, along with our newest group of recruits, for our First Years 7s Night!

It was a great chance to learn a bit more about the game, connect with each other, and get prepared for the upcoming 7s season 👏

⭐A special mention to the six referees who came along and will be stepping out onto the field for the very first time this 7s season. We can't wait to see you out there!

There's another session next Monday - if you're new to 7s / refereeing, get in touch! 🍀

Partnership Announcement - SAS Sports 🤝

The ARRA is proud to announce that SAS Sports have renewed their partnership with our association for a further two years!
