The Tawa Rugby Club was formed in 1947. Since 1950 when our club had the proud distinction of having two All Blacks (Graham Mexted and Vince Bevan) playing against the British Isles on their tour of New Zealand, we have had a long list of Wellington representatives as well as several more All Blacks donning our colours. These include our most celebrated player Murray Mexted and Steve McDowell who chose Tawa as his club while playing for Wellington.
