We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of our former Board members, John Hunt.

John served as Director on the Auckland Rugby Union Board and as Chair of the Council of Delegates from 2008 – 2013, and as Delegate for 13 years.

During his time with Auckland Rugby, John was a true champion for rugby in Auckland. His dedication and passion for the sport was always evident in everything he did.

We are grateful for John's contributions to both Auckland Rugby Union and Marist Brothers Old Boys Rugby Club.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, John. You will be sorely missed.
