Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned player, there's a place for you here — a club where people connect, grow and belong.
Message from the President
At Emerald Warriors, we believe rugby is a powerful tool for inclusion, connection and growth. Our club is a space where people can be themselves, challenge themselves and support one another.
We’re proud of our legacy and excited for what lies ahead. With a focus on performance, wellbeing and community, we’re building a club that reflects the best of sport — one that’s open, ambitious and welcoming to all. Whether you’re here to play, learn or connect, you’ll find a home with us.
