Saru president Oregan Hoskins was presented with the Award at the Confédération Africaine de Rugby AGM in Port Elizabeth by IRB Council Member Abdelaziz Bougja. “This is a singular honour and one of which Saru can be very proud,” said Hoskins.
“We identified a need and found a practical solution to address it. In the past decade thousands of aspiring young Rugby players from previously disadvantaged communities have benefited from the project.”
He said to be recognised by the IRB from the hundreds of development projects that took place annually around the world of rugby was a proud moment.
“I’d like to congratulate the Saru staff and sports scientists who have worked on the project for the past 10 years – I hope this Award provides the inspiration for them to redouble their efforts.”
Since its launch in 2003, the Capital Works Project has been a key part of Saru’s overall goal to make rugby fully representative at all levels throughout the country. — SuperSport.
