JOHN HAWEA PATRICK MOANANUI 4 November 1947 – 30 March 2020 John hailed from Hastings Hawkes Bay, the oldest direct male descendant of 19th-century chief Whakato, dedicated to so many causes and always there for so many people. Such a wise, wise man. Even though he had been ill for quite some time, with a heart attack last year and on-going dialysis three times a week. He was always there with a smile and laugh. And a wise quiet word. John was injured on 1 April 1984 at age 36. His injury was
CHRIS RIDDELL 23 June 1957 – 17 November 2020 Here is his bio that he wrote for our website: My name is Chris Riddell, I was born in Hastings and live there for the first 10 years of my life, playing junior rugby for three seasons. My family and I then moved from Hastings to Whakatane where I switched to playing soccer. I was educated at Whakatane Intermediate and Whakatane High School. Not been able to sit still and wanting to play sports all the time I left school at 16 to get a job working at Wrightson’s NMA. I worked there as a store man for a year or two before moving on to the Saw Mill for a year. I also worked as a forecourt and lube man at the local petrol station. Where upon I moved down to Fielding and was running my uncles tavern for six months. I enjoyed working behind the bar and meeting lots of new people, and of course taste testing the products. Through working at the pub I made a bunch of new friends who were rugby players, and played for the Fielding Yellows. They talked me into joining so I switched from Soccer back to Rugby and trained for three months. I had just started working at the local freezing works when on March the 16th 1980, I broke my neck whilst
C6/7 incomplete tetra. I recall him telling me how the late Kel Tremain, our Founder, “discovered” him in hospital not long after his injury occurred. Hawea was a man of many talents this included challenging systems with his biggest achievement of ensuring that the Moananui family name was rightfully placed. Hawea was a Son, Father, Brother, Uncle and cousin to many, however his most important status in the whānau was Koro, the love for his Mokopuna was undeniable and was displayed daily in his korero.

playing a trials match, at Johnson’s Park in Fielding. I took the ball from a drop out 25, turned to try and form a mall and as we all packed in, I was hit from behind and instead of falling sideways and lying down, I went forward into a forward roll position and I heard a crack, I was on the field for the last five minutes of the game and this was the last thing I remembered for about four months. I was taken to Palmerston North Hospital where I stayed for a week, before been transferred to Middlemore Hospital for three weeks and then moved to the Otara Spinal Unit. I spent nine months in Ward A, the rehabilitation ward, and then moved to C block where I lived for 11 years. Whilst here I went back to school got my School Cert. and two university entrance subjects. After this time if felt confident enough now to move out on my own into the big wide world and have been living happily in Papakura for the last 20 years. I have a lovely three bedroom unit and am looked after by a bunch of great caregivers who are the loveliest ladies on earth. I have got some great interests, such as, when an elderly gentleman came to visit at the Spinal unit he taught us how to play bridge, which I still play regularly at the Papakura bridge club. It is one of the most pleasing
games anyone can ever play. I urge everyone to give this a go as it keeps your brain active and you meet some very nice and interesting people. I also have a great interest in harness racing. I enjoy going to the trots at Alexander Park, after a friend took me along for the show one night. I enjoyed this so much that I joined the Auckland trotting club syndicate, and low and behold have been lucky enough to have a terrific pacer, Called Changeover. He has won the ultimate race for any harness racing owner, ‘The New Zealand Trotting Cup’ in 2008 in Christchurch. I was lucky enough to be there to watch it happen. It was the most exciting thing you can imagine. I still enjoy watching the Rugby along with a lot of other sports as well.

8 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Chair’s Report Covid! What a year. Lisa and Mark in their reports cover off all the thanks for those that helped us get through what was a very difficult situation. I would also thank MSD, for without the wage subsidy, we would have needed to impose salary cuts. As it was, we needed to make a number of budget cuts. We were extremely lucky to get the annual fundraiser away but due to restricted travel and despite strenuous efforts by our supporters at Emirates Group the fundraiser in Dubai had to be cancelled. Operationally we made significant cuts and we were lucky that largely due to no permanent injuries that demand on grants was reduced. As Mark has covered off our capital investments performed well, something that was largely out of our control but very much welcomed.
NZR support was also reduced by mutual agreement but I am very pleased and thankful that this was re-instated earlier than expected. Thank you.
incidence of injury. An examination of all sports shows we are doing well in this area and we need to focus this issue across all sports to the benefit of all participants.
Despite the challenges I am very pleased that we were able to honour the funding we had agreed for our first foray into supporting research. This is significant to grow our top of the cliff response to augment the reactive post injury support that we continue to focus on. The information will be of major support into the future to improve awareness of ways to minimise the post head injury impacts.
Annually I emphasise the great work of NZR and ACC via Rugbysmart. I reiterate that.
We are currently considering other research projects where we believe support will provide further positive impacts. Interestingly, rugby is leading the way in injury minimisation and recovery. It is disappointing that rather than focusing on what we do to manage this aspect of sport the media tends to look at the negative
Lisa has also highlighted our support for a professional player who has joined our ranks. Injured in the UK and not eligible for ongoing ACC support. This highlights the post injury support required for all permanently injured players something that we are good at. The role of NZRF in this space needs further examination with NZR as there appears to be a gap in this area. Thank you all for your support. Let’s hope that Covid management improves in 2021 and that we can look forward a less disrupted year. Gerard van Tilborg Chair

CE Report This annual review reflects, along with many thousands of other organisations, the impact of COVID. The pandemic also stimulated new ways of operating and all things being equal, we are stronger as an organisation. We were able to maintain our core business operations. We quickly adapted to working from home and were grateful to receive the wage subsidy and have relative stability considering what the wider rugby family were experiencing. It was a difficult time for many organisations in the greater rugby environment. ON THE FIELD COVID created a stop/start season scenario for clubs and schools, and this may have had an impact on the number of near-miss incidents. It was also challenging for players to prepare and remain fit. It is never a nice feeling when the mobile rings on Saturday or Sunday. Having said that, we would rather know than an injury not being reported and having serious repercussions – which is way more concerning. 2020 Number of Near Miss

We will continue to work with four players this year in their return to full health. The reporting 1 of these incidents highlight how effectively NZR have worked with bedding in the protocols of ‘who should do what’ when something serious happens. The sooner we can get in next to a player and his/her family the more we can support them in navigating an oftentraumatic time.

Injury Reporting Concussion Research
10 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Three of the near-miss were young women, more than last year, and this stands to reason as more girls and women are playing rugby. It is pleasing to see the awareness of safety in their training. It is also interesting to note in the current research project referred to in the Prevention 2 section the difference in attitude to head injury between males and females.
Their journey was amplified acutely by COVID as when it struck in March, Tatiana was not able to be with Michael in hospital. They both have incredible resilience and spirit. As Michael is our first professional player, we are working with the NZRPA as we navigate the best possible outcomes and planning support for their future.
We are delighted that no new permanent injuries occurred on home soil in 2020. Usually, the stats show one to two per annum and every now and again there is a purple patch like now.
We were saddened by the passing of Lelea Potaufa playing for Helensville RFC on 28 February. He suffered a cardiac arrest and passed on the field that he had spent so many hours playing on. A family and community man loved by many, survived by his wife Aloa and 12 beautiful children.
Our most recent seriously injured player young Jacob Fifita-Tovo was injured on 22 July 2018. C4 ASIA 5 incomplete. He spent a month on his back in Burwood. His discharge prognosis was C5 ASIA D. He is a walking tetra. Jacob trained in the gym daily in the morning before school with his PT to build his strength and confidence. He graduated with excellent results last year and headed to Otago University to study for a Bachelor’s degree in Surveying. We are so proud of him and look forward to partnering him into his future endeavours. We welcomed a new whānau member this year, certainly a club no one ever wants to even consider. Michael Fatialofa was injured on 4 January playing for Worcester, his club in the UK. There was extensive media coverage. His recovery is remarkable. Although Michael can walk, all four limbs are affected. A total new life to adjust to. He and his wife Tatiana arrived back in NZ in October. They are reassimilating into life in Auckland. He is focused on rehab. We would like to acknowledge our counterparts in the UK the RFU Injured Players Fund who supported Michael and Tatiana.
OFF THE FIELD There have been some sad moments in losing whānau members. We dedicate this report to John Moananui and Chris Riddell who both passed away in 2020. Our condolences to their families, friends, and carers. This year has also been one of family celebrations. Warm congratulations on the arrival of ‘our’ new babies. Nick and Nicola Chisholm welcomed triplets, Dakota, Ruby Soo and Loki. Sam and Rochelle Lawrence welcomed baby Jonty, brother to Rico. Dan Buckingham and Sam Jukes welcomed Henrietta, and Nafi Lefono and Amanda Roberton welcomed Evie. Several of our whānau have had surgeries and have been quite ill and we acknowledge their families and carers during these times. Their fortitude is incredible. As always many of the guys have been up to ’awesome stuff’ in living their lives with various pursuits indoors, studying, careers, personal development, painting, moving homes, upsizing/downsizing,
and many with ongoing outdoor pursuits and some with very real Paralympian dreams and chances. FUNDING AND RESOURCE Treasurer Mark Peters talks in more detail but in a nutshell, like many others we tightened the hatches and got creative! In March/April, Ben did just that. He achieved strong results with an on-line auction linked to an on-line event and the tight year end events calendar produced excellent results. Our thanks to former All Blacks and Black Ferns and to our Patron Sir Graham Henry and ‘the professor’ Wayne Smith for their time and contribution in making this event so special. Pure gold. We acknowledge our supporters who within a tight time frame committed to attendance to ensure we culminated with a healthy balance from the annual Eden Park luncheon. This event is also a vital cog in people understanding who we are and what we do. Thank you to the generous individuals who give us their time and organisations who gift these auction items hence creating the possibility of the ‘bid’ experience. We pay tribute to our longterm relationships and support received from many loyal partners, supporters, and donors. We were so grateful to be named as recipients for events held by Massey and the Centurions RFC. Also, a new golfing event in Wellington. Sincere thanks to Earl, David and all involved and Mike Copeland for the introduction.

Our grateful thanks to the North and South Trust, Pelorus Trust, GrassRoots Trust, and Four Winds Foundation. Thanks to our Business and Sponsorship in Kind partners - DB Breweries, Foley Family Wines, Claymore Law, John Miller Law and NZ Rugby World. ADVOCACY During the past two years we have spoken about the advocacy work we are doing with ACC in the context of carer wages. In June 2017 the Pay Parity Act was passed, and support/ carer workers received a longawaited hourly increase in wages. This became effective to accredited care agencies only, not to individuals who ‘employ’ their own care teams. Our survey showed 48% of our cohort employ their own teams. This situation exacerbated the situation of individuals under exceptional circumstances pay structures. This work has gained traction and we acknowledge ACC for listening. We look forward to developments. We were pleased to partner with the NZ Spinal Trust in a joint note of endorsement to the NZ Disability Support Network 3 to support their lead in their comments regarding the ‘Health and Disability System Review’ which was published in June. PREVENTION Our first foray in financially supporting Research i is important as it moves us to the top of the cliff. The Foundation has been a long-time advocate of accident prevention, so we were pleased to contribute to the cutting edge,
peer-reviewed and publishable research project by New Zealand Rugby, AUT and Otago University that started in 2020. The Concussion Management Pathway and App - our thanks to Dr Danielle Salmon and the research team. We are delighted to continue to support this work in 2021 with NZR, ACC and World Rugby. We are also delighted to be named in the NZR-ACC Outcomes Model 2021-25 4. This is a big commitment from ACC into NZR’s safety programme which sets out the vision for the next 10 years. CONCLUSION We could not provide the assistance that we do to our seriously injured players without the grant from New Zealand Rugby. I acknowledge the many dedicated staff and Board members who assist us in a myriad of ways. To our seriously injured players, thank you. We have loved our many chats on zoom/phone but have missed seeing many of you in person and hope for a more stable 2021. We salute your wives, partners and children, mothers, and fathers as well as carers and friends. Finally, I thank my colleagues, Ben Sturmfels, Gwendoline Jessop and Angela Davies, for their teamwork and energy and our Board and Chair who offer constant support and balanced, sage guidance. They give us their time, knowledge and expertise with enthusiasm and leadership. Lisa Kingi-Bon Chief Executive

Treasurer’s Report 2020 was such a strange and worrying year for everyone worldwide given that such a massive pandemic had not been experienced for over 100 years, so it seems that reporting on finances is almost an anti-climax. However, financial matters have to carry on and they still drive the Foundation’s activities. Our experiences will be no different than most other organisations and businesses. Other reports will detail how the Foundation managed working from home, operating and still dealt with giving assistance to the injured players we support. From a financial point of view our income and cash flow took an immediate hit with cancellation of fund-raising activities and a large cut in our grant from NZR due to their own very real and widely reported financial issues resulting from Covid 19 match cancellations and loss of revenue generating opportunities. We fully supported and accepted a grant cut, which has since 1st January 2021 been fully restored for which our sincere gratitude goes to NZ Rugby. Our management and staff, with much Zoom input from the board, were able to still keep up with our core activities. The very gratefully received Government first and
second wage subsidy payments were so important in being able to keep all staff employed and to carry out our activities around our Seriously Injured Players, thier needs for financial assistance, and injury prevention research. At the time we claimed the subsidies, our income was down substantially, our investment fund value had dropped by around $300,000 and we very much needed to keep intact what cash reserves we had built up to meet any new serious injury costs, and for the normal general grants to make life a bit easier for our existing Seriously Injured Players. So somewhat of a very tight balancing act. Our result for the year of a small operating profit of around $10k was achieved only with careful stewardship of our resources. Overall income received for the year - even with being able to hold the Bledisloe Luncheon (thankfully) later in the year- was down 16% (even after receipt of the Covid wage subsidy). Expenses were trimmed accordingly and grants totalling $216k - plus another $50k approved but not paid out before December 31st- were made to Seriously Injured Players, and we got through reasonably. The board have since approved the carry-over of that $50k of grants into 2021 so that the 2021 budget for grants is not diminished.
CAPITAL FUND OVER A DECADE
12 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The overall bottom line surplus of $571k was due to a big recovery in the value of the investment portfolio managed so capably by JB Were. From being down around $300k mid Covid lockdown, it ended the year up $561k. As I have said every year- our investment portfolio is held as a long term investment and of course can fall as well as rise in value. It builds the base capital fund that the Foundation needs to be able to produce cash flow to carry out its core activities of Research and Seriously Injured Players assistance. Over the next few years, it is planned to work towards building this base up even further to enable us to be more proactive in the research area and maintain sufficient cash flow to meet all other Foundation objectives. Work has taken place with fund raising experts Barrer & Co around projects and plans to build that capital base. This will start to roll out later 2021 and in future years. A big thanks to the Foundation management, staff and contractors for their ongoing work, the Board for its commitment and support, NZ Rugby for its ongoing support and JB Were for so capably managing our investments fund. Mark Peters FCA Treasurer March 3rd 2021.

Responsibilities of the Board of Management for the Performance Report Those charged with governance are responsible on behalf of the New Zealand Rugby Foundation Incorporated for: (a) Identifying outcomes and outputs, and quantifying the outputs to the extent practicable, that are relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable, to report in the statement of service performance; (b) The preparation and fair presentation of the performance report, which comprises:
▪ ▪ ▪
the entity information; the statement of service performance; and the statement of financial performance, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows, statement of accounting policies and not es t o t he performance report
in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Simple Format Reporting – Accrual (Not-ForProfit) issued in New Zealand by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board; and (c) For such internal control as those charged with governance determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the performance report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the performance report, those charged with governance are responsible for assessing the New Zealand Rugby Foundation Incorporated’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless those charged with governance either intend to liquidate the Incorporated Society or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Performance Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the performance report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuranc e but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and IS A E (NZ) 3000 will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users tak en on the basis of this performance report. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAE (NZ) 3000, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
▪
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the performance report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriat e t o provide a basis for our opinion, including performing procedures to obtain evidence about and evaluating whether the reported outcomes and outputs and quantification of the outputs to the extent practicable, are relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
