Hi my name is Hunter. I’m 12 and play rugby in 12th grade for Raglan Junior Rugby Club.
I have been playing rugby for 7 years and I have loved it and it has improved my confidence to be a leader.
I have played a lot of other sports but my favourite would have to be rugby because I love the feeling of tackling low and running as hard and fast as possible at people. I’m not the biggest on the team but my coach said the bigger you are the harder you fall. My coach teaches us lots of cool skills and cool stuff.
Rugby has given me many friends. My favourite team is the All Blacks because my favourite player is Aaron Smith. Aaron Smith and my coach Dean have inspired me to be halfback. I practice my half back passes every night. Me and my dad made a board with holes so I can practice passes and getting the ball in the right place. I am proud to represent my club and community.
I go to Te Mata School and try to get all my mates to have a little game of rugby.
