Dream Rugby Opportunity
Donation protected
Rugby’s in the Blood. Born from a bloodline that played South African Springboks as a NO 8, and is still considered one of the best today, 60 years on, we now have a Kiwi trained, 15 year old, living in Australia: my son named Kai.
The sweat and tears that have been spilled during the years of training with his father (main picture) are finally paying off.
15 years old, 6’2” and 100 kg’s of pure power, Kai has now been invited and given an opportunity to go on an international rugby tour as the UNDER 16’s RAPTORS.
Chosen from the highest city in Australia. Situated in the middle of the New England area of New South Wales, is a town called Armidale. Kai is the only one to trail from this area for the team going to America.
Scouted at last year's country championships, the national teams coaches are watching for new talent, and they have found it in Kai.
Kai is considered one of the strongest loose head props they have ever seen. This is his pathway to playing for his country. They are already looking for kids 16 years of age for the development team for the Waratah’s National team in NSW.
This trip to the USA California will not only give him some international experience, but it is also a tour to promote rugby in the USA. Following in the footsteps of the All Blacks that will also be doing a promotional tour in the same area, in November this year (or so it is rumoured)
Kai is extremely dedicated at his age. Training 5 days a week. One day off and game day. So 6/7 days a week, this young man is training or playing rugby.
Kai is doing an apprenticeship in bricklaying, which means he goes to work at 6:30 am and works physically, all day too.
Please open your heart and your wallet to help us send him over in December 2024 for this amazing opportunity.
