“It’s great to see the Philippine Rugby Union (PRFU) host the Olympic Solidarity & World Rugby Training & Education (T&E) Superweek. It highlights the importance for Unions to have strong relationships with their NOC as it enables them to tap on additional funding. The PRFU will benefit from having experts from across Asia delivering high level courses in the country, and also further develop the local workforce to deliver entrance level courses going forward.", says Gene Tong - World Rugby Regional Training Manager (Asia).

​
PRFU looks to continue its initiatives for local T&E development into 2022 to support the strategic goals and increase participation and awareness of the sport of rugby in the Philippines. Thank you to the POC and World Rugby for supporting T&E development in the country. If you would like to host a course in your area, please contact us at [email protected]
