Women's rugby has taken a new direction in New Zealand and our region's college girls are at the forefront of that movement, says Tasman Rugby Union operations manager Mike Kerrisk.

If Thursday's Press Cup rugby clash between Marlborough Boys' College and Nelson College was any indication, the talent pool of young rugby players in the Tasman Union is very exciting. Broadcast live around New Zealand on Sky's rugby channel, what a fantastic advertisement for the game here and congratulations to all those involved in organising the match ... What a breath of fresh air the Tasman Trophy competition is. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the Nelson teams in action.

The Tasman Rugby Union said King Salmon plans fitted its goal of keeping young rugby talent in the district and in jobs.
