Twenty Matatū players have been recognised on the national stage after being named across the Black Ferns and Black Ferns XV squads announced today.

The Matatū whānau came together to celebrate a season like no other. Five years of Matatū - five years inspiring the next generation, building our brand of rugby, and taking Matatū to the world.

Matatū's Super Rugby Aupiki campaign has ended in heartbreak, falling 28-21 to nib Blues Women after a dramatic grand final at One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch.

Amy du Plessis becomes the first Matatū player to reach the Glacier Five-Season Milestone, a new recognition that honours players whose impact is felt widely throughout our organisation.
