Focused on high-performance training, competition, and leadership, the U18s team offers players a chance to fine-tune their skills and prepare for the rigors of adult rugby.

Strength and Conditioning: Fitness is a priority at this stage, with tailored strength and conditioning programs to build endurance, power, and agility, ensuring our U18s are in peak physical condition for the demands of senior rugby.
