Team 2 : Australian Rugby Legends


The Australian Rugby Legends are by definition an invitational Rugby Club but we are much more than that. We are a non-profit company founded in 1995 to promote rugby at grassroots by plating the game when and wherever we can, conducting coaching clinics for both juniors and seniors, raising much needed funds for charity in places usually by-passed by mainstream rugby organizations.

All Directors of the Australian Rugby Legends are honorary positions and do not accept any form of remuneration, as stated in the company’s Constitution other than legitimate expenses as pre approved by the Board.

What Do We Stand For

The Australian Rugby Legends concept is more about the spirit, ideals and traditions of this great game, the upholding of the values that we as kids held special when we played such as playing for fun, enjoying a few beers after the game with our teammates and opposition and importantly to relate the odd story of past deeds on the rugby field that make us all Legends in one way or another.

As the name suggests our players are legends. Most at some stage have in their career donned the Wallaby jersey, others have worn the colours of their state and then there are those legends, which have donned with equal pride, nothing more than their local club jersey.

The Australian Legends Rugby selection criteria dictates that we mix legends of the past with legends of the future in the hope of giving tomorrow’s talent the chance to learn from yesterdays hero’s.

Paul Ivory the legends manager is one of the great characters of the invitational rugby scene. "Potholes" as he is known has some fantastic rugby stories that I may add only get better as the night proceeds.
