‘XVs’ Rugby games start Sunday May 2nd and run through until late August.  Training commences 4 weeks before the start of the season.

Player Transfers

There are many reasons for players to change clubs. However, there are competition rules which restrict some transfers. Please contact the club to ask about transferring to the Roos.

Clubs are permitted two imported Representative and/or Development Players from another Club, per age group in a single season. For each representative player over two imported players, competition points will be deducted at the discretion of the Competition Manager and SJRU Board.

Rugby Explorer Registration System

Anyone who has a volunteer role needs to register themselves. There is no cost involved with this. This is particularly important to those involved with Juniors performing tasks such as selecting team sheets, or scoring. The club secretary need to give you “admin” access. In order to do that, you need to have a login to Rugby Xplorer. Here is the link in order to do this:
Rugby Australia have updated their Web Site with Parent & Club Admin information. Go to http://www.rugbyau.com/participate/rugby-administration/club-administration/resource-library

They are also running Webinars to help. More Webinars have been scheduled – check out

    • Hi Dan, thanks for the note. The easiest way to register is on line via RUGBY LINK (the new Australia-wide Rugby Union system). See our Register for 2017 page for the links. Via the contact page you can find the details for the U14s Age Manager U-14 Mark Sargent, 0409 842 095, mark.sargent@bayer.com. I suggest you also drop him a line. THanks and Cheers, Marty.

  2. Hi, can you tell me where I can find age group details please?
    My son’s DOB is 01/04/08 …so he turns 10 this April …does that make him an U10 or U11? Are there strict rules about playing up a year potentially? My son’s a young year 5 but plays his other sports with his year mates (so played up in soccer for instance).

    thanks, Rob

      Your son will be in the U10s this year. However it is possible for him to play in U11s if more of his friends at in U11s for example. However, in Rep games he would still have to play in U10s.

      2005 = U13s
      2006 = U12s
      2007 = U11s

  3. Hi there, we are trying to register via the Rugby Link site but when we get to the first page, the dropdown menu doesn’t show any registration form options.

    • Hi, thanks. Yes it doesn’t appear the the Rugby Link site is opened for registrations as promised. I have changed the Roos website to reflect that now. Thanks. I would wait until you get an official note from the club / age manager saying the site is open for business. Thanks and Cheers Marty

    • No that won’t be a problem. For example last year we had five boys join the under 11’s who had never played union before. They had a great time and quickly caught up the the boys who had played before.

  9. Hello, Just registered our son Daniel Akester via the Rugby AU portal. His DOB is 14/03/2005 he would be in the under 14’s. Can you advise on training days and schedule please? the MRJRU website outline that U14’s Roos play as part of combined Manly Vikings teams with Harbord and Seaforth Clubs. Would be great to understand how this works. Daniel played as a hooker for Dartford Grammar School A team and Bromley Rugby Club in the UK. Recently relocated and he’s keen to get back into rugby. Info would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Rob

    • Hi Abby, since he’s only 4 and the season ends in a five weeks time it’s probably best he comes along in March next year to a try Rugby session. Keep an eye on teh websites for the next season dates.

      Thanks
      Alan
