What People Are Saying.
“I attended the Rugby 1st launch event and heard about many of the new programs that are in the pipeline. These programs are inclusive and a reminder that sport brings people together. I’m confident that this network can make a positive contribution to the game of Rugby in Australia”.
Nate Godfreyex CEO Canterbury Rugby Union and Director of Programs & Operations NSW Government Office of Sport
I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Rugby 1st at City Tattersalls. It was refreshing at a time when there is so much negativity surrounding rugby union, that we can be reminded about what makes our community so great. A focus on grassroots initiatives, affirming the positive role rugby clubs and associations can make to the lives of young and old, player and supporter alike. Congratulations to Adrian and the team and my best wishes for your future success.
Toby Lawson

I enjoyed attending the Rugby 1st launch event and having previously heard about many of Adrian’s new programs he is planning, I was very interested in seeing the feedback from the rugby public. It was a positive vibe on the night and like many attending, NSW Juniors is always happy to support programs that will benefit the game of rugby and promote growth across all sectors of the game.”

I attended the Rugby 1st Launch event and was very impressed by the events and programs Rugby 1st are organizing. It is crucial for Rugby Union to thrive at all levels and Rugby 1st is a non-for-profit organization supporting just that! Rugby is more that just a sport, it brings communities together. We are in full support of this new initiative to help rugby grow and thrive.”
