A partnership built on purpose

In a world where actions speak louder than words, this partnership is making a big noise – and all for the right reasons.

Matatū has renewed its relationship with Isaac Group, a partnership that’s about so much more than rugby.

Renewing our partnership with Matatū is about standing alongside organisations that share our values and our commitment to community. Together, we’re backing the people, places, and kaupapa that make the South Island stronger
— John McDonald, General Manager Support Services.

Isaac Group has roots that run deep across the South Island – and an even deeper passion for giving back.  

For three years, they’ve partnered with Matatū, and their mission remains clear: to create positive change alongside a team that knows what it means to fight for something bigger than themselves.

From small towns to local schools, Isaac Group has always had a knack for shining a light on the people who make our communities thrive. This partnership amplifies that impact, creating meaningful change far beyond the rugby field.

We’re thrilled to renew our partnership with Isaac Group. Their deep connection to the community and commitment to inspiring gender equality resonate strongly with Matatū’s values. This alignment gives us confidence that together we can create meaningful impact both on and off the field.
— Sarah Munro, Matatū General Manager.

As Matatū looks ahead to their 2026 campaign, the spirit of doing good is right there with them.  

With Isaac Group at their side, Matatū isn’t just chasing trophies – they’re helping build a stronger, more connected South Island.
