The foundation of our team comes from the kaupapa of MANUKURA which entails high performance on and off the field. Our tohu (crest) represents a MANUKURA (White Kiwi Bird) that represents leadership and humility.Our MANUKURA Girls 7s Rugby team have aspirations to uphold our tikanga and represent firstly our MANUKURA whanau and also our country. We feel privileged to have this opportunity provided to us and we will wholeheartedly embrace the learning experience. The culture of Japan will be a new encounter for all our girls and we are excited to partake in all aspects of Japanese culture.
