    Do you know the heartbreak of your favourite hurl breaking while you’re at peak performance in an important match?

  9. Hawkes Bay and Turbos Choose O’Neills

    This season O’Neills is kit partner to the Manuwatu Turbos and Hawkes Bay in New Zealand for their coming campaign.

    They will line up against the likes of Auckland and Bay of Plenty, two of Joe Schmidt’s old coaching assignments. With New Zealand competitions running until halfway through the World Cup, there’s a chance that some of the players may end up receiving a call up to the All Blacks World Cup team in the event of injury.

    In 2015 Joe Moody got a late injury call up and was selected to play in the semi-final and final. Manuwatu Turbos and Hawke’s Bay both field an exciting array of rugby talent with a strong mix of established and emerging talent, many of whom already have featured in Super Rugby, with the Maori All Blacks or development New Zealand squads.
