Epsom Girls Grammar School is incredibly lucky to have former Black Fern captain and current Auckland Blues legend, Eloise Blackwell leading our rugby programme. Eloise with her world-class experience, provides top-tier coaching to our 1st XV team and serves as an inspiring mentor for our young athletes both on and off the field.
Rugby at EGGS runs across Terms 2 and 3, with teams competing in the Auckland Girls Rugby Competition. EGGS has a strong tradition of success, regularly featuring in semi-finals.
In 2025, we had 10 EGGS rugby players selected in Auckland representative teams, a reflection of the quality and depth within our rugby programme.
Whether you’re an experienced player or just starting out, EGGS Rugby offers a supportive environment where every athlete can develop their skills and love for the game.
