Why a Trustee ? Over and above ‘putting something back’ to continue to drive and reinforce Rugby’s Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship which align directly with my own, if you add Honesty and Trust for good measure. “Run forwards, pass backwards and support your mates !”
Rugby Philosophy “Forwards decide who wins the game.......Backs decide by how many !” (Although I’m not sure it’s quite as simple as that these days)
“Rugby is a simple game made complicated by Coaches.”
