Canterbury Rugby Club is pleased to announce that our senior leadership group will remain in place for the 2026/27 season, providing continuity, experience, and a strong on‑field presence across the squad.
Captain Jamie Stephens, a commanding second row, will continue to lead from the heart of the pack. His physicality, work rate, and calm authority have been central to the team’s identity, and his return as captain sets a powerful tone for the year ahead.
Alongside him, Frank Reynolds resumes his role as Vice‑Captain. As a fly half, Frank’s game management, creativity, and composure under pressure make him a natural leader and a key decision‑maker across all phases of play.
They will once again be supported by three influential figures within the squad:
- Tyler Oliver – a dynamic and relentless number eight, known for his ball‑carrying presence and leadership through action.
- Harry Sloan – an experienced centre whose communication, defensive organisation, and professionalism elevate those around him.
- Will Waddington – also a centre, bringing energy, consistency, and a strong connection with both the leadership group and the wider squad.
Together, this group represents the standards, ambition, and unity that define Canterbury Rugby Club. Their influence on and off the field has been invaluable, and we look forward to supporting them as they guide the team into the 2026/27 campaign.
