KIA ORA, WELCOME TO THE NEW ZEALAND SPORTS ACADEMYNew Zealand is well known around the world for its striking landscape, diverse environment and unique Maori culture but it is also renowned for its place in international rugby through its team, the 'All Blacks'. Maori
people have always possessed a raw ability and natural exuberance for the
game of rugby having produced some of the greatest players, who became
famous for their individual brilliance and flair. These
factors mean that there is no better place to play, learn and enjoy rugby
than in New Zealand! WHAT
