It's that time again!
Northland has about 3000 children playing rugby - but not all of them can afford the regulation footwear.
The Northern Advocate and Whangarei Report are running a boot collection to help get all children who want to play rugby into the game.
If you have boots in good condition that you no longer need, please drop them in to the Northern Advocate building in Robert St. If you need boots, please contact us and we'll try to find a pair for you.
Taniwha first -five Dan Hawkins has helped kick off the drive. "Quite often the most talented kids are the ones that have had a hard upbringing," Hawkins said. "I've seen a lot of kids struggle growing up [so] it's cool to help them out. "
