Counties Manukau Rugby is proud to celebrate 17 rising stars who took part in the Chiefs Under 20 Training Camp over the weekend.

The camp provided an invaluable development opportunity for our next generation of players — helping them sharpen their skills, test themselves in a high-performance environment, and continue building strong pathways towards elite rugby.

Their selection is a testament to the hard work happening in our region, from clubs to schools to representative programmes, and highlights the strength of the CMRFU academy programme.
