Letter from Adjudication Panel

17 July 2020

Kia ora all

Hope you are as excited as we are to have rugby finally underway in the Wairarapa!

Over the past two rounds we have seen several unregistered and uncleared under-aged players take the field.

Please can all team managers and coaches make extra effort to be sure that all players who take the field are correctly registered.

We appreciate there have been some challenging issues including the shortened season caused by Covid 19, and that all managers and coaches are doing their best, however to be fair we all must abide by the CoC rules.

The judicial Panel have been flooded with breeches that could have been avoided.

A timely reminder of the rule as set out in the 2020 Council of Clubs Competition Rules.

This can be found on our website, here is the link https://waibush.co.nz/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-WBRU-CoC-Competition-Rules-003.pdf

Please refer to section:

• 0 Player Registration and Timelines
• 4 College and Non-College Under 18
• 5 Under 16 Players

Please make sure you are aware of the rules and understand your obligation as Club representatives or Manager and are abiding by them.  We are all passionate about rugby but need to make sure we follow the rules and keep our younger players safe.

Go the Hurricanes!

Cheers
