The ARFU wider women’s division, saw 11 teams<br />
from across four unions compete for the Coleman<br />
Shield. Newcomers Waikato University posed a<br />
threat throughout the competition but 2012 saw the<br />
rise of the Ponsonby Fillies. The final came down to<br />
a Marist vs Fillies clash and on this occasion Marist<br />
proved to be superior to win the women’s title once<br />
again.<br />

• Our The Regional <strong>Auckland</strong> Development East team won Coaches the NRM (RDCs) Roller have<br />
now Mills firmly Championship. established relationships with 44 regional<br />
secondary schools and as a result are now receiving<br />
some very positive feedback. This has also created a<br />
fluid working relationship where the RDCs have been<br />
able to address issues that surface on a regular basis.<br />
The <strong>Rugby</strong> Administrators In Schools (RAIS)<br />
programme managed by Lewis McClintock<br />
continues to be an important investment (more<br />
than $130K – NZRU 75% - ARFU 25%) for the<br />
growth and sustainability of rugby within the <strong>Union</strong>.<br />
The programme provides effective relationships<br />
between ARFU and its schools and supports schools<br />
to be more efficient and self-managing to develop<br />
the game and ensure our registration process is<br />
efficient (player numbers increased by 314 players).<br />
The RDCs have made a massive contribution to the<br />
Player Development Talent Identification (TID) and<br />
skills development programmes as well as helping<br />
with the identification of Year 12 and Year 13 players<br />
for our ARFU Pre Academy and HPA programmes.<br />
