Show Notes
Hawke's Bay Rugby Union is ensuring a gang-related disorder that ruined a Hastings game doesn't happen again.
Eight Young Maori Party players and their coach were inside a van peppered with shotgun pellets as they fled the match against Tamatea Arikinu on Saturday afternoon.
No one was injured, and police say there's no ongoing risk to the public.
Union chief executive, Jay Campbell, says Tamatea won't be hosting home games for the foreseeable future.
"Until such time they can prove to us that they can run and operate home games that deliver safety for our officials, players and spectators- then that will be the staus quo."
