If I recall correctly their colours are white, blue and black.

Today I turned on the TV and caught the last few minutes of the final of the Heartland Championship (the second flight on NZ provincial rugby), competed between Mid-Canterbury and Wanganui (Wanganui won). There were quite a few flags of different designs, and it seems unlikely that any one of the is the official design of either the Mid-Canterbury provincial rugby team or the Wanganui provincial rugby team. Several of those on display were typical of NZ rugby flags, simply quartered in the two colours of each team.
One flag did occur several times though, and may be a semi-official
fan flag of Wanganui provincial rugby. It features Wanganui's colours
of mid-blue, white and black (the team's uniform is horizontal bands
of blue and black fimbriated in white) - This particular flag -

A different flag has been flying from Wanganui Council Offices in the
build-up to the final, however. The only picture I've managed to
track down of it isn't particularly clear, unfortunately, though it
looks like it may be four horizontal stripes of blue, black, blue,
black, each with white fimbriation. It can be seen at
the Council website.
