TESTIMONIAL

"St Aloysius College ventured to New Zealand Sports Academy, in Rotorua, for a seven-day intensive training camp. The tour was a fantastic culture experience for the boys with highlights including whitewater rafting, luge rides, Polynesian Spa and the traditional haka welcome by the Academy boys. The players also learnt a great deal of knowledge on how to adopt the Māori philosophy of playing rugby. Coaches Jim Love, Darrel Shelford and Hika Reid were excellent in their presentations and coaching sessions with the boys. Special mention for Jeanna Love for the smooth running of all the logistics involved in an overseas tour. I would strongly recommended the NZSA to any rugby club or school rugby team."
