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.
