Black Ferns Day Out
Published 1 August 2025
Empowering the next generation of wahine toa with the Black Ferns. Thanks to Toyota New Zealand’s partnership with New Zealand Rugby, nine passionate junior girls from Pōneke Football Club were treated to an unforgettable rugby experience, attending the Black Ferns Captain’s Run ahead of an epic double header in the capital on Friday 11th July.
From the moment the girls were surprised with this opportunity to high-fiving the team on the field, the day was all about inspiring our next generation of kids through rugby, connection, and community. The energy inside the stadium was electric as the girls watched the Black Ferns prepare for game day, soaking up every moment and meeting their heroes after training.
Through Toyota New Zealand’s partnership with New Zealand Rugby, we’re proud to help bring the All Blacks and Black Ferns closer to the next generation of local legends. Watching our Pōneke juniors sharpen their skills, share plenty of laughs, and learn from the best in the game is what grassroots rugby is all about.
A huge thank you to Toyota New Zealand, New Zealand Rugby, the Black Ferns, and everyone involved in making this experience so special. The future of Wellington rugby is looking bright!
