It was a Super Saturday at Toowoomba Bears Rugby on the weekend, hosting the USQ Saints for some friendly – and local – competition.

Gareth Smith, Project Lead of the MRP PlayerMentor Alumni Project (to be launched 23 June at our End of Season Carnival), spent his Saturday along the sidelines to witness the MRP in action.

We have officially kicked-off the season across Queensland with our MRP Players and PlayerMentors – new and old – from our host clubs taking to the fields for their very first training session.

The smiles on the faces of participants and their families throughout the day were once again a reminder of why we all participate in this great sport.

This was a giant step out of the comfort zone for some of our MRP players and they all shone as bright as The Reds! (We are hoping some selectors were watching!)

The Wallaby legends and MRP ambassadors Nathan Sharpe and Tim Horan AM spent the evening mentoring our mentors on and off the field… while jealous parents watched on reminiscing about the good old days.

A warm welcome to our new MRP clubs Toowoomba Bears, Redlands ‘Muddies’, and our 4 new teams. This includes our pilot 7’s team. What a fantastic progression the MRP players have made over the last 12-24 months to step into this new challenge.

A great turn out at Ballymore for the MRP Coaching Clinic, with all 2016 team represented by future PlayerMentors, Coaches, and Parent Coaches.
