Will grassroots rugby see any of this new-found wealth? What we need in grassroots rugby is a paid administrator in each club that needs one (not a full-time role). We also need real rugby development officers back in the unions whose sole focus is getting more kids playing rugby. Timing’s everythingSo after 60 years the Taieri Rugby Club finally saw the light and didn’t wait until l the middle of winter to run its fantastic kids seven-a-side tourney. I’m tipping the Bulls (12-) upset Upper Clutha on the Lake.
