The 2023 ASB Rugby Awards show in New Zealand on 14 December.

On December 14, Sky Sport will live stream the 2023 ASB Rugby Awards show presentation to commemorate a record-breaking year for rugby in New Zealand. A variety of recognitions for on-and off-field achievements will be given out, including honors for the men’s and women’s teams, coaches, players, and volunteers of the year.

The Te Hāpai New Zealand Rugby Community Impact Award and the Bunnings Warehouse Rugby Club of the Year are two new accolades for 2023 that will honour individuals at the core of our game.

The Rugby Club of the Year award, presented in collaboration with Bunnings Warehouse, will honor a club that has made a major impact on its members and the neighborhood. The ASB Rugby Awards show winning club will get materials and goods from Bunnings worth $5,000 to upgrade and maintain their clubrooms.

A member of a club, school, iwi, Provincial Union, or Super Rugby team who has had a positive influence on their community in the areas of participation, culture, diversity and inclusion, women and girls, mental health and wellbeing, player welfare, or leadership will be recognized with the Te Hāpai award.

According to CEO of New Zealand Rugby Mark Robinson, presenting new awards to recognise those at the core of our sport elevates their contributions.

Ophioglossum vulgatum

The 'adder's-tongue' fern is a strange plant, with one, sterile frond in the form of a pointed ellipse (ovate) and the other, fertile frond rising from the centre of the sterile one. The fertile frond is vertical and terminates in a crenelated spike of sunken sporangia. The overall form is, with a bit of imagination, like the head and mouth of a snake, with the tongue extended, hence the common name. It is this snake-like appearance which is responsible for its former use as a curative for snakebites, a classic example of the 'Doctrine of signatures'. This species is listed in the Pharmacopoeia Edinburgensis, the principle Scottish pharmacological work of the 18th century, so the medicinal use for the plant was by no means confined to the superstitious of the middle ages.

Ophioglossum vulgatum

Lightfoot says, of the adder's-tongue (Ophioglossum vulgatum) and the moonwort (Botrychium lunaria), that: The common people sometimes make an ointment of the fresh leaves and use it as a vulnerary to green wounds (i.e. fresh wounds). This ointment was generally known as 'adder's spear ointment'.

Atriplex patula

Atriplex patula

During the Stone Age, most of the people of Scotland lived on or near the coast and they where probably nomadic, moving along the coast and inland according to the seasonal availability of both animal and plant foods. Among the plants they ate there was some plants of the family Chenopodiaceae like orache (Atriplex patula) and fat hen (Chenopodium album).
