‘The Rugby Men captures the spirit of grass roots rugby culture and all that is epic about the game.’
‘The Rugby Men supports men all over to be active in their local rugby communities.’
Whilst women’s rugby is exploding and getting the long overdue attention and growth it deserves, men’s grass roots rugby is in decline. With mental health becoming endemic, particularly amongst men, rugby and its communities need to remind men of the value of rugby, its culture and community.
Up and down the land rugby club families have open doors to anyone and everyone. Rugby communities are spaces to laugh, talk, move, play, listen and connect.
TheRugbyMen.com captures the spirit of grass roots rugby culture and all that is epic about the game. In gathering, bottling and corking rugby culture we want to reach out to men to connect and stay connected to rugby.
