7 have represented NZ at various age groups. Multi talented sports men and women.

All have come through playing touch for Otago since under 11 age group

Many now coach in the province at school or representative level.

In Otago playing Touch at Representative level certainly seems to run in the family.

Each of these talented siblings also have other members of their family at the nationals in support with: - Taylor and Mackenzie's Dad Brett playing in the Otago 40's team

- Ty & Kiana's mum is not only our Tour Manager extraudinaire, but Team Manager for the Touch Blacks.

- Hanlin and Holly have younger sister Biddi at tournament representing Otago in the U21 mixed team.

- Jess and Mackenzie's Faulks Dad John managing the team the U21 Mixed team.
 

Our representative programme is largely a User pays programme, which such talented families in our region we take our hat off to the Parents, Managers and supporters who help these families to compete at the elite level of their sport.
