FAQs
- Can you arrange for players to attend a Club, School, Charity, and Community or Fundraising event?
We receive many requests for players to donate their time, all for very worthy causes. We would love to support them all, however the nature of our business does not allow us to do so.
Our players promotional activities are very carefully managed and are scheduled prior to the commencement of the campaign. Our first priority is our Official Community Partners followed by those requests of our commercial partners.
Although requests can be considered we have to carefully manage player time to ensure it stays within the limits set by the NZRU Players Collective and within their training schedules as well as allowing for time to prepare adequately for game day.
