Christchurch, New Zealand 26 June 2026
Tait Communications is proud to be an official partner of the New Zealand South Island women’s rugby team, Matatū, for the 2026 season.
The partnership brings together two organizations connected by a shared commitment to performance, teamwork and clear communication.
Headquartered in Christchurch, Tait is a global leader in critical communications technology, supporting industries and communities where clear, reliable communication is essential. That same mindset sits at the heart of how Matatū prepares, connects and performs on the field.
The team is equipped with 12 Tait P25 TP9400 radios, a travel case and accessories.
Tait is also the exclusive critical communications partner of the Crusaders.
CEO and Managing Director Yoram Benit, PhD, says the alignment with Matatū was clear and the company was proud to support the women’s team, alongside the men’s.
“At Tait, we see every day how important clear communication, trust and teamwork are in high-pressure situations.
“Those same qualities come to life in the way Matatū plays and prepares. We’re proud to support a team that reflects our values and to play a small part in the continued growth of women’s rugby across the South Island.”
Matatū General Manager Sarah Munro says the partnership reflects a strong alignment between the two organizations.
“Tait understands what it takes to perform in environments where there’s no room for error, and that really resonates with us as a team,” she says.
“Their focus on communication, trust and preparation mirrors what we value at Matatū. We’re proud to bring them into our environment and work together in a way that connects our people and our communities.”
Since its inception, Matatū has represented the best of South Island women’s rugby, building a team culture that values connection, growth and accountability – both on and off the field.
This partnership adds another layer to that journey, reinforcing the importance of communication as a foundation for high performance.
Tait has built a global reputation for enabling organizations to stay connected in complex and critical environments. The investment in Matatū reflects a wider commitment to supporting local communities and creating opportunities for people to grow and succeed.
Together, Matatū and Tait will champion the role connection plays in performance – showing that when people communicate well, trust each other and work as one, they can achieve something special.
