Key season highlights of our domestic season have included: Rebels participating in the Dewar Shield in record numbers and thus helping to further lift the standard of the community game across the board. Record numbers of women's teams involved in competition rugby Strong representative success across all our state teams, with particular mention of our Junior Gold Cup teams at U/15s (premiers) and U/17s (runners up) Numerous players from community rugby achieving national selection honours, including three Victorians making Australian Schools, two selected in the Wallaroos that competed in the Women's World Cup and one in the Australian Women's sevens that finished runners up in the IRB world circuit The launch of the NRC ……. the final link in the rep pathway that enables home grown talent to develop their rugby careers without leaving Victoria ·Melbourne Rising's spectacular start to the NRC that currently sees them top of the table! As regards the recent junior and senior finals, on behalf of the VRU Board, I wanted to specifically congratulate the host clubs. Harlequins for hosting Senior Preliminary Finals, Box Hill the Senior Grand Finals and Southern Districts the Junior Grand Finals. All these events were incredibly successful and our host clubs are to be commended for their efforts as first class hosts. Rugby is by no means over. We still have 3 Rising home games and hopefully a final (or two!) to host. Beyond that, the Sevens calendar is growing at a pace. We commenced the inaugural University Sevens last week, to soon be followed by the VRU Club Sevens and a Vic Schools competition commencing next month running for 5 weeks and which looks like including over 20 schools and up to 50 teams. Finally the Melbourne International Sevens will take place in conjunction with the Melbourne Rising's final home game on 18th Oct as Gosch's Paddock, and the finals played on AAMI Park as curtain raisers. Many thanks for all who participated in our great game in 2014….…coaches, players, volunteers, parents, club committees and our traditional rugby supporters. Our game thrives on the spirit of volunteerism. Without such selfless service our game would not exist. The VRU Board thanks you all for your great support of our game and we hope to see you all back next year as well as at all the remaining Rising home games at AAMI Park!

On behalf of the Board of the Victorian Rugby Union, I like to congratulate the Victorian Rugby Community, in all its divisions, for the standard of competition across all grades during the Competition this year. Again we see a good spread of clubs represented by teams participating in the final series. Some clubs have participated with great distinction in getting numerous teams through to finals and into grand finals. Congratulations to Harlequin Rugby Club winning four Minor Premierships in senior Rugby in 2014 All clubs obviously did their utmost to comply with the competition rules this season and to promote this sport amongst their playing members. It remains important that, the administration of clubs ensure that the game is played in the correct spirit and in compliance with the Laws of the Game. The Board also wishes to congratulate all those referees who have been awarded the right to referee the Finals and to thank all referees for their efforts during the year. In addition the Board expresses its appreciation to the Box Hill Rugby Union Football Club for its ongoing support and for hosting the whole Union at this Grand Final day. We should recognize the fact that this Club has assisted the Union in tendering for and hosting the Grand final day for well over a decade.

Rugby was named after the Rugby School in England where, according to the famous plaque, "William Webb Ellis with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game AD 1823".

In years gone by, this report would be prepared as a reflection on the past season as all enjoyed decent break before focusing on the requirements for the next year. It appears those days are now well behind us, as the season grows inexorably longer – as I write this report, well into November, around 60 – 80 referees are still being appointed on a weekly basis for both 7s and 15s competitions. This a matter of concern for the QRRA, as it places a heavy additional burden on our administrators, Appointments Officers and particularly on our long suffering referees (some of even the most dedicated of our members have needed to declare unavailability so that they can recover from injuries or preserve their bodies for the year ahead).

  • Trailing Clouds of Glory Did They Come
    TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... Bert Penwill, Griff Hunt and Rugby in Victoria Ron Grainger 2015 TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... 'There is a history in all men's lives' William Shakespeare Although a generation apart, two men who were to make a major contribution to Victorian Rugby shared much in common, not least that both came anointed with the mystical oil of Welsh Rugby, specifically of the Newport variety, though not of a 1st XV vintage. Nevertheless, both made their mark early in the city of that name, not only in rugby but in other sports, notably aquatic. Both were born in England, but were living in Newport by the age of ten, both commenced employment before joining the Territorials and then seeing active service in the British Army before coming to Australia where they later became deeply involved in the organisation and management of Rugby Union in Victoria. The big difference between them lay in their ages, Griffyth George (Griff) Hunt being born in 1911, the same year in which Herbert Garfield (Bert) Penwill, then aged thirty-one, left England for Australia. But as a closer look soon reveals, there were other differences, not least those associated with the social, economic and technological developments of the times. Their service to the State Union covered the beginning and end of its first fifty years and the following accounts inevitably include comment on those times and on the development of the Victorian Rugby Union (VRU) over that period. Before then, successive Unions in the Colony of Victoria had arranged rugby matches against British, New Zealand and New South Wales teams, but organised club competition had been spasmodic.

  • Senirusi Seruvakula
    SENIRUSI SERUVAKULA 14 December, 2017 I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Australian Rugby Union and World Rugby for the inclusion of the Fijian Drua Team in the 2017 Australian National Rugby Championship. This was a great milestone for the Fiji Rugby and a remarkable opportunity for our local talented rugby players not only to showcase their natural abilities through their performance but also recognise the competition participants capability on the field with the potential to excel. The NRC competition was also an exceptional development platform and learning environment for our local players in Fiji, enabling them to revitalise their full potential of rugby talents throughout the competition. Therefore, I would also like to sincerely thank the Management and staff of the Fiji Rugby Union for the great vision in developing this rugby platform of our local players to aspire in their rugby career locally and abroad, at the same time generating a pool of players for the pathway to the Flying Fijian Squad. I also commend the Fijian Drua Management Team whereby our goals were directed successfully, meeting the Team’s objectives and opening opportunities for improvement throughout the competition. Chris Hickey (Director Technical) brought a great depth of experience into the Fijian Drua team, enabling the management team members and players to be at par with one another and highly adaptive to variations and open to change. Communication is one of the pillars to our team’s accomplishment as we look at our weekly game strengths and weaknesses and formulate effective planning and crucial decision making for the whole team.
