A tribute to
WAIKATO - the mighty MOOLOOs
Welcome to the home of the Ranfurly Shield, WAIKATO! No team has held the Shield for an entire season since the not so mighty Auks in 92. That coupled with the fact they made the NPC final, easily made the Mighty Mooloos the rugby team of 98.
Find out how the boys are going in 1999 on my fixtures page.
NOTE - this page has nothing to do with that lame loser outfit known as the Chiefs. This page is about winners, namely WAIKATO!
Yes, the boys did it again, fourpeating at the national sevens, a feat no other team has achieved. Read the
sevens report to see some pictures. Just further proof that they are "the best there is", "the best there was" and "the best there ever will be".
So what else is there to say? Not much really, so come meet the boys in my picture gallery. Many thanks to 
for letting me use some of their photos.

Little Rhys Duggan is always there on the tackle
When he aint kicking goals he's setting up tries - he's Matthew Cooper
Nick Mantell will be dueling for the hooking role with Greg Smith
He's the leader of the pack, it's Dion Muir
Even the power of Joeli can be stopped by Waikato- Cooper and Mcleod in tandum
Will Greg Smith emerge as the number one hooker?
With a surprising turn of speed Dean Anglesea is a tearaway
