“I often say rugby's like life. You can have the ball in your hand and be running down the field feeling unstoppable. Then someone tackles you and you hit the deck and you're vulnerable; you're lying there exposed. Suddenly your team-mates are there, not just over the ball but over you, protecting you. They're prepared to put their bodies on the line for you. That's what happens in life: you fall over and your mates come to your aid.”
-Jolin Kirwan

Rugby is about brotherhood & sisterhood. It is a family with strong bonds which will last a lifetime. We don’t play for the number on our backs, we play for what it says on the front.
