Victory at the Stadium
Tahuna All Star Rippa Team gets a victory at Forsyth Barr against an all boys DNI team. The game was the halftime entertainment for the Otago V Tasman Mitre 10 Cup game on Saturday night.
The team was : back - Oscar, Shai, Leah, Dallas, William & Sam. front - Ella & Charlotte.
Here is a letter from a member of the public about the game:
I was at the Otago v Tasman rugby game on Saturday at the Stadium and watched the half time entertainment between Tahuna and another co-educational intermediate from Dunedin.
I noted that the other school sent out a team that was all boys and looked as if they were out there to win.
I also noted that Tahuna sent out a mixed team that fairly represented the makeup of their school more appropriately. This sent all the right messages to all concerned and met the expected values that should be promoted in sport at this level.
So, congratulations to your school on your representation and pleasantly, on the winning of the game.
