How does a Rugby Player become a Legend?

Now before you all panic and start to wonder how you are even going to find, never mind slay a dragon or move mountains or swim the full length of a shark infested ocean with the rest of the rugby team on your back let us give you our own definition of what qualifies you as a Rugby Legend.

  • A Rugby Legend will have been privileged enough to have played within the elite of his chosen country and is now retired from Representative rugby.
  • They will agree that being a “Legend” isn’t about the amount of times a player was capped or how many tries or points they scored (although this is useful at team selection).
  • They will have seen and acknowledged that all is not well in rugby at grass roots level.
  • They will agree that International and Provincial Rugby Players do not just appear and that they owe the vast majority of their success to the Grass Roots System that they all came up through.
  • They will have concluded that now is the time to “put something back” but how?
  • Legends world wide use the ethos “developing grass roots rugby” and will actively promote the brotherhood of amateur rugby across all sectors of the rugby playing fraternity.
  • We feel we also need to put the FUN back into rugby!

Dr Syd MillarThe Irish Legends can help?

The Irish legends have looked in detail at what has happened in South Africa and all of the great work they have done on behalf of grass roots rugby in that Country.

John Allan Chief Executive Officer of the South African Legends recently came and visited us and showed us the programmes they were involved in and how they were able to make a considerable difference to rugby at the grass roots level. We will put some of their programmes up on our web site in due course.

The long and the short was “we wanted in”.

See the section of “Who Can We Help?” for further details.
