According to GingerCloud Foundation's Managing Director Megan Elliott, the recognition of the Modified Rugby Program (MRP) for children with learning and perceputal disbailities through the Nick Farr-Jones Spirit of Rugby Award demonstrates rugby's commitment to access, diversity and inclusion.
"For the MRP to be recognised at the national level is testament to the true spirit of rugby which is all about diversity, inclusion and access to the game we all love.' said Megan.
"We've experienced this drive at all levels of rugby from the rugby clubs who host our MRP teams through to the Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) and the Australian Rugby Union."
"Rugby really is a game for all."
