3 IRI Values you were all inspiring Culture & Heritage The IRI view the values of rugby as the most important foundation of everything we are involved in. We believe we have an obligation to spread and protect the central tenets of rugby culture and uphold them in all we do for future generations to carry forth. We have conceived of none better than those already set in place by World Rugby. INTEGRITY Integrity is central to the fabric of the game and is generated through honesty and fair play. PASSION Rugby people have a passionate enthusiasm for the game. Rugby generates excitement, emotional attachment and a sense of belonging to the global rugby family. SOLIDARITY Rugby provides a unifying spirit that leads to life- long friendships, camaraderie, teamwork and loyalty which transcends cultural, geographic, political and religious differences. DISCIPLINE Discipline is an integral part of the game both on and off the field and is reflected through adherence to the laws, the regulations and rugby s core values. RESPECT Respect for team- mates, opponents, match officials and those involved in the game is paramount.
