Get your game night spread sorted with these rugby-friendly recipes. Whether you need a hearty meal or a snack, we’ve pulled together the best of the best to ensure game day is a winner.

Leftover Brisket Dumplings

We love dumplings for easy future meals and having a stash of these on hand for when friends and family come to visit. Serve with a tangy vinegar-laced dipping sauce.

Mexican Beef Sliders with Jalapeno Salsa

Handheld meals are the best for game day, where you can gather in front of the game and these sliders pack a bit of heat. Remove the jalapenos if you’ve got kids eating.

Lemon and Paeroa Marinated Lamb Ribs

Combine two Kiwi classics and get a delicious meal that is finger lickin’ good! A pile of lamb lollipops are great for sharing with friends and family.

Street Style Beef Tacos

These tacos make the ultimate game day feast! Line up the fillings and let everyone making and creating their own.

Beef Skewers with Asian Twist

These babies are easy to make, even easier to eat and using rump steak, an affordable way to feed the masses come game day.

Lamb Meatballs with Hummus

Who doesn’t love a good hummus while watching the game? The smooth hummus combined with fragrant lamb meatballs make this a winner for everyone!

Greek Lamb Tart

A total favourite of ours, this can be made ahead of time and serve with scattered olives and zesty lemon.

Mexi Mince Cheesy Mash Pies

Utilising that classic mexi-mince and giving it a fresh spin. The individual portions make it easy to serve a crowd.

Beef Curry Puffs

Put these out on a plate and they’ll get gobbled in minutes – we highly recommend doubling the recipe so you can ensure everyone gets one. Serve with a tzatziki style dip.
