At NZRPA we know rugby clubs, communities and schools around New Zealand keep the spark of our sport alive for generations to come.
This is where new friendships are made, rainy trainings are a given, and children learn how to kick, run and tackle their way around a rugby field.
Professional players are always sharing their own memories, stories or lessons growing up playing rugby.
This is where the Impact of Rugby pillar was born as a focus area for RPA. Players wanting to continue giving back to schools and communities at the grassroots level.
If you're a player who has an idea or is interested in being involved in one of the initiatives RPA are contributing to, please reach out to James Parsons on james.parsons@nzrpa.co.nz
