New Zealand’s oldest rugby club is scrapping all junior fees in a bid to keep kids on the field.  

Nelson Rugby Football Club says the decision’s been brewing for a couple of seasons, but the support of the community means they can finally move forward with it.  

Junior club captain Lisa Trusler told Piney that families all over are struggling financially at the moment, and sport is one of those things that unfortunately falls off the end. 

“We just want to do whatever we can to get people back into it.”
