The Whānau Cup is our annual memorial rugby rugby match in honour of our namesake, Matt Ratana. Through it we aim to bring communities together, foster inclusivity, and promoting the values of rugby. The games themselves are hosted from West London to Bristol and include rugby legends coming together (in the spirit of rugby, literally) to raise money, awareness and spirits for the Matt Ratana Ruigby Foundation
Through the Whānau Cup, we aim to honour Matt's legacy by demonstrating the community of rugby at its absolute best and raise a bit of cash along the way. All this goes towards what we are most proud of, creating opportunities for young people to develop both on and off the rugby field every week.
