Farriers Wairarapa Bush Squad announcement
The 2022 Farriers Wairarapa Bush management team are delighted to announce their squad for the upcoming Queen’s birthday fixture.
A change from tradition they are now playing fellow Heartland opposition Whanganui as opposed to the tradition Hawkes Bay Saracens side.
With a healthy mix of new and established players the coaching staff of Mark Rutene, Jamie Williams and Stan Wright (Scrum Coach) look forward to seeing how these players cope with one of the traditional power houses of Heartland rugby.
