From the first day they walked through our doors, to now representing on one of the biggest stages in South African club rugby — this is what the IRI journey is all about.

They have trained together.
They have learned together.
They have faced challenges together.
And now… they get to represent together. 🔵⚪️

To our IRI family involved in the Gold Cup squad — wear the jersey with pride, embrace the challenge and leave everything on the field.

This is your time.
This is our journey.
This is IRI. 💙

Dear Mr. Jack,

On behalf of IRI Rugby Academy, Saldanha, we would like to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to you and Indawo Construction for your generous sponsorship towards the upliftment and improvement of our training area.

Sport plays an important role in our communities. It provides young people with positive opportunities, encourages healthy lifestyles, teaches valuable life skills, and helps to keep our youth focused on constructive goals. Your generous contribution helps enhance the chances of our young talents succeeding both on and off the rugby field.

We are truly grateful for your belief in the work of the IRI Rugby Academy and for recognizing the importance of supporting grassroots sport and youth development in our community. Your generosity demonstrates the positive impact that local businesses and community-minded individuals can have in changing lives and creating opportunities.
