We’re so proud to see our film and the stories of our grassroots rugby wāhine reach the other side of the world. This year’s selection is Lisa Burd’s second, after @thepinkiesareback snapped up a ‘Mention D’Honneur’ in 2022.

It’s Milford Moments time.

They’re back. And they’ve been training. 💪

@camwebster and @michaelbrake are back for the 2027 season of Milford Moments, and they’re already putting in the work for whatever challenges are coming their way…

Think you’ve got a challenge that will put them to the test? Start thinking now!

Make sure you wave down Mike & Cam at Partners Life NZ Rowing Championships, Partners Life Maadi Regatta and Partners Life Beach Sprints Championships.

🤫 And TOP SECRET… word on the street is your favourite Milford socks have got a whole new look.

Same socks, fresh new look! 🧦

But Milford Moments don’t stop there. As the official livestream partner of Rowing New Zealand, Milford is bringing you closer to the action again this season, with:

🎥 Race highlights from across the season, including epic drone footage

🔄 Relive the Moment - crews and athletes watching their races back and sharing how it felt all over again

🧦 And, of course, the return of the Milford sock challenges!

More racing. More Milford Moments.

Athx Games run training has started and I brought the crew 💪
Mumbles under 11 was advertised as Thursday but was actually Wednesday- so wrong day and time! Sooooo everyone joined in.
Inspired by @michaelablyde rugby mums run club and so gave it a go.
8 x Broken Broncos with 90 secs rest. All at 65-70 secs.
Loving having speedy kids to hunt down.
2 completed all 8, middle one did 5 sets and hated it. Youngest loved beating mama 🤣🙄
Sprinting gives me no pain- so need to get to the point of 3km pain free as fast as I can.
First run sesh ☑️

Pic 1 from @caseysims_ and the snacks we bought in while we camped out for hours for photo positions for @hamishkerrhj gold winning final 🤯
