No pads, no protection, just balls.
This is where I will share my thoughts, feelings & opinion on systems, politics and everything at play "Off the Paddocks..."
Since leaving our life in South Africa behind in October 2020, and temporarily forced into "rugby-exile" I have thought it well to put my experiences, thoughts and feelings as I navigate the Canadian rugby scene...
Canada has for the first time in its proud rugby
history (I am a huge fan, supporter & soon to be citizen) sadly failed
to qualify for the Rugby World Cup!
Rugby development at grassroots level, or the complete lack thereof in my region of the province is a prime example why... I find myself in a dynamic, innovative border city where rugby at university level sadly died a tragic death in 2007...
More so a local rugby club exists, and have for 60 years, yet no junior structure, or efforts to actively build a pipeline for the future of tomorrow? There is so much money being thrown around everywhere, still nothing is happening here?
