Itinerary Specially Prepared for


MARIST COLLEGE CANBERRA

Soak it Up 100% Pure New Zealand Rugby Tour April 2016

WELCOME

It is my pleasure, as Managing Director of Total Rugby, to welcome another Marist College


Canberra rugby touring party to New Zealand. We are delighted to have you once again
playing against our teams and enjoying our hospitality in 2016. Welcome, Haere Mai, and
enjoy your stay.

INTRODUCTORY NOTES

Weather: April is autumn weather, which means it can be very changeable. Temperatures
can fluctuate wildly, from high 20s / low 30s to almost single figures. However, the
average should be about 16 degrees Celsius.
Grounds: Grounds will be in good condition without the winter rains. If weather is warm
they could be very hard. Multi-studded boots should be adequate for backs (no guarantee),
but are unlikely to provide adequate traction for tight forwards. Medium length studs
recommended
Game protocol: Most schools in New Zealand have their own haka and it is common
practice for the host school to perform the haka for overseas visiting teams. This is meant
as a challenge and it is up to the visiting team to accept it as they wish. Generally, the
team facing the challenge will line up on their own 10m line and front up. This is seen as
the most respectful. Three cheers are performed at the end of the match and players shake
hands with the opposition.

Mouthguards: Mouthguards are compulsory at all levels of rugby in New Zealand. The ref
will inspect that you have a mouthguard at the start of the game.
Rugby Rules: Crutch binding in the scrums and lifting in the lineout is permitted in New
Zealand age group rugby.
After match Arrangements: It is customary in New Zealand rugby to have an after-match
function for special visiting teams. It is a tradition we are keen to maintain. The after match
is generally held at the hosts clubrooms or school. Speeches are made by the MC and
respective captains. Often the visiting coach or manager is also invited to speak. There is
always an exchange of gifts. This can take the form of a plaque/pendant, club or school ties,
players jersey, touring booklet, pins/badges, beanies or something else that has been
prepared. Food is then served.
Ice: Ice for sideline treatment of injuries is available from nearly all service stations and
supermarkets. It is recommended that teams bring an insulated container for storing ice at
matches.
First Aid: It is not compulsory to have a first aid officer at every game as it is in Australia.
Initial first aid is generally administered by coaching and/or management staff. Emergency
services are available for more serious injuries. The emergency number in New Zealand is
111. There are after-hours medical services available in all main centres. Total Rugby will
assist with coordinating medical services including physiotherapy. It is expected that tour
groups will have their own travel insurance to cover medical expenses. Operators of tourist
services have their own policies regarding health and safety and issues arising should be
managed directly with them.
The Christchurch 24 Hour Surgery is located at 931 Colombo Street (corner
Colombo Street & Bealey Avenue), Phone 03 365 7777
Equipment: Total Rugby has a number of training balls available. Please make an early
request for other specific equipment if required as it is possible to source a range of gear.
Laundry: A full laundry service is provided at Adams House Hostel. Self service laundry is
available at Saint Andrews College. We do recommend that everyone brings at least one
towel with them.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included daily throughout your itinerary. Breakfasts
will all be at your accommodation and are continental (typically cereal, toast and spreads,
tea/coffee), lunches are packed and are provided at your accommodation to be collected
each day as you leave breakfast, dinners are two course (main course and dessert) or
buffet style.
Security/valuables: This is your own responsibility. Valuables have been stolen before.
Please never assume that it will be okay to leave valuables unattended or gear rooms
unlocked. Every attempt will be made to assist you with your own security.
Itinerary Times: All the times shown on this itinerary have been booked and confirmed with
the accommodation providers and activity operators. For meal time changes please liaise
directly with the hotel. If you wish to change timings for any activities or find you are
running behind schedule please contact Total Rugby so that we can inform the operator

Vouchers: On your arrival your tour leader will be given a voucher booklet containing the
vouchers you will be required to hand over to our operators for the various activities
included in your tour.
Liaison: Total Rugby staff will be available 24 hours. Please use the cell phone numbers on
this page. Our staff will not always be with you during your activities but we will check in
with you each day, either in the evening to discuss the days events and go over the next
day, or in the morning.
Luggage: Due to coach luggage capacity it is requested that each person is limited to one
suitcase and one carry-on bag. If your luggage is going to exceed this please advise Total
Rugby prior to your arrival.
Rugby Boots: New Zealand has very strict biosecurity regulations, during your flight please
complete the Passenger Arrival Card supplied by the airline with care and ensure rugby
