Integrity is central to the fabric of the game and is generated through honesty and fair play.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Rugby Union is a game that develops leadership, team spirit, courage, sportsmanship, and friendship. These values and traditions develop from the first time a young player shakes hands with their opposite number, leading to a life long passion for and involvement with the game at all levels. Foremost, the game of Rugby embodies the best Australian values and the nation\u2019s indomitable spirit.<\/p>\n
The key values of the game of rugby consist of Australian pride, team work and camaraderie, love of the game, and tradition and heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Rugby embodies the best Australian values and the nation\u2019s unyielding spirit. Through it\u2019s success on the International stage, rugby provides all Australians with a sense of pride, affiliation and belonging.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Rugby is unselfish and focused on team play achievement. Its rugged nature is balanced by the concepts of fair play, sportsmanship, fun and ultimately mateship. This can be experienced at any age, any level and anywhere \u2013 on the field, in the stands or in the pub.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Rugby engenders an abiding passion \u2013 an intensely personal pleasure in playing or watching. It creates an unaffected joy.<\/p>\n<\/div>
The ethos of rugby has shaped a code of behaviour that has transcended generations since 1823. It\u2019s time-honoured legacy creates a broader social environment for the sport that engages the family and community and strengthens the ties that bind Australia together.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Teamwork is essential to our game of rugby. We welcome all new team members and include all because working as a team enriches our lives. We play selflessly, working for the team, not for ourselves alone, both on and off the field. We take pride in our team, rely on one another and understand that each player has a part to play. We speak out if our team or game of rugby is threatened by inappropriate words or actions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
