Touch NZ is thrilled to introduce our teams for the upcoming Touch World Cup in Nottingham this July. We are confident in our selection of top-tier talent, coming together to form our strongest teams. These individuals have demonstrated dedication through training, consistent performance, teamwork, and a positive off-field presence.
The competition for talent in New Zealand has significantly increased since the last World Cup, fueled by the sport of Touch's growth and the ambition to represent New Zealand on the global platform. The numbers are expected to rise as our teams continue to expand regionally and nationally.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Touch Blacks prepare to showcase their skills at the Touch World Cup 2024.
