Which club is the hottest ticket in New Zealand club rugby at the moment?

There are several contenders. Hautapu in Waikato, Old Boys University in Wellington, New Plymouth Old Boys in Taranaki, College Old Boys in Manawatu and University A in Dunedin are all on fire.

For the most part, it was another bright sunny day around the country on Saturday for club rugby. Winter rugby has yet to bite and players and supporters are enjoying the warmth on their backs, which is showing in some of the hot results being run up around New Zealand.

College rugby is also underway, with the Auckland and Crusaders region competitions into competition mode and a Festival series of matches between the leading Hurricanes region schools being played.
