The club has produced 29 All Blacks, 15 NZ Maori and numerous Pacific Island and European International Representatives including current All Black and Hurricane Neemia Tialata and Crusader and 2007 All Black Ross Filipo. Hoani Tui is a current NZ Maori Rep and we have a host of NZ and Wellington age grade and senior players.

Andrew Leslie is President of the NZRU and still sits as a member on the PRFC Rugby Committee.

The Petone club is situated at North Park, Petone, which can be accessed from both Udy and Bouverie Streets. It caters for all rugby interests from pre-school age (boys and girls) up to Premier level. Club facilities include a newly carpeted and heated lounge with bar facilities, floodlit and fully irrigated training fields at North Park and the Petone Recreational Ground, indoor artificial grass gymnasium affectionately known as ‘The Sawdust Pit' and a well-equipped weight training room, available for use by members.

The Club has a youth development programme called the Ken Gray Academy which is Managed by former All Black Great Allan Hewson. The Academy's objective is to promote excellence in the game of rugby for youth who aspire to the highest levels.

The Petone Club will field nine teams this year including our very successful U19 and U21 teams, one 85kg restricted team, a President's team, three senior teams and a Premier team. New to the club this year will be a Woman's team.

Our main training nights are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday during the rugby season. Dave Pollock and Allan Hewson are our Club Coaching Coordinators. With their help we are building a Club with vision and desire to succeed in the future.

The Club undertook a pre season trip to Australia and will be looking to do this on regular occasions.
