Rugby Union has always been about more than the game itself. In Alice Springs, it has the opportunity to bring people together, create a sense of belonging and give our community something to rally around.

This is about rebuilding more than a competition it’s about creating opportunities for players, coaches, volunteers, families and supporters to reconnect through rugby and helping build a stronger community in the Red Centre.

If you are in Alice Springs please come along, share your ideas, have your say and help shape the future of Rugby Union in Alice Springs and Central Australia.
