As the dust settles after the massive eruption of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano and the tsunami that followed, it is becoming clear that the people of Tonga will need ongoing support as they recover from this event. 

The 'Tries for Tonga' fundraiser will see $500 donated to New Zealand Red Cross for every try scored during the first 10 rounds of the DHL Super Rugby Pacific and Sky Super Rugby Aupiki competitions .

DHL, as the new Super Rugby Pacific naming rights partner, has kick-started the Tries for Tonga campaign with a $20,000 donation.

New Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Mark Robinson said, "The Tongan people have contributed, and continue to contribute, so much to our game, so it is only right that rugby is there to support one of our closest Pacific neighbours in their time of need. We hope Tries for Tonga can provide a meaningful boost to the Red Cross' ongoing relief efforts."
