1. For the Development of the Players
Under the code of "Noblesse Oblige", those with power, knowledge, wealth or prestige are responsible for the development and advancement of society!
Through playing rugby, players will develop and learn these skills.
2. As an International Exchange
Creating an opportunity for participants to gather and communicate with one another from different countries. Helping them to develop and widen their world.
3. To Promote the Values of Rugby to the World
Hoping to send out the true meaning and the idea of “One for all, All for one”.
What the rugby community is trying to promote.
"All for the better of the game and community over the individual."
