JRCS FESTIVAL OF NATIONS 2022

The Festival of Nations, a junior rugby 7 or 10 a-side fun competition, will be held on Sunday 4th of December 2022. It is organised by JRCS and hosted by Tanglin Rugby Club at Turf City. It is a chance for players from all clubs and schools to come together and celebrate another successful year.

When

Sunday, December 04, 2022

Location

Tanglin Rugby Club pitchesTurf Club Road, Turf City , Singapore  287994

The Festival is open to boys from year of birth 2005 to 2017, and girls from 2004 to 2017. All players are selected to play for 1 of 12 national teams (AUS, ENG, FIJ, FRA, IRE, JAP, NZ, SGP, SCO, SAF, USA, ARG) in an age group specific competition.

FOLLOW THIS LINK IN ORDER TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD FOR THE FESTIVAL OF NATIONS – SIGN UP HERE

There are no guarantees on which team you’ll end up with, as part of the fun is not knowing until you get there on the day and meet your new team-mates. BUT, the earlier you register the more chance you’ll be with one of the 3 teams you select as part of this registration process.

The entry fee is $55 which buys you a custom made ‘national’ team shirt to keep, a great day playing with new friends, and a chance to round out the rugby year in style!

This event has been a great success in the last few years and we look forward to more of the same this year. Please do sign up early at the registration link above. As you do so, parents, please consider checking the box to volunteer as a national coach.

Lastly, a shout out to our very generous sponsors Singapore Life, Chocolate Finance and Canvas. Many thanks for your continued and awesome support for junior rugby in Singapore.

Have a look at the videos from FoN 2018 and 2019 to get a taster of what’s to come:
