“From shamrocks to springboks, silver ferns and red roses, wallabies, cockerels and toucans, nature is deeply connected with the heart and soul of rugby.”
That’s how Sports for Nature member, World Rugby, introduces the sport’s deep connection to the natural environment through the Rugby for Nature Toolkit – a resource designed to help local rugby clubs and communities protect biodiversity in and around rugby facilities.
Encouraging readers to make it a ‘10-point game’ for rugby and nature, the Toolkit draws a parallel to a rugby match scenario where a team with a 10-point lead has a greater chance to go on and win the match.
