Excited with OUR referee feature this week as we have 14 year old new referee Murphy Lister. Murphy is the eldest of four rugby loving boys in his family and is one of our Southern Region officials. He attends Tokomariro High School in Milton and has been a great addition to our fantastic team down south. Murphy came to referee rugby with experience officiating touch rugby and has hit the ground running. A young referee with a strong presence, we look forward to following Murphy through his rugby journey.
