Success Stories

Ryoma

( Player )

As a player from Japan, it’s not easy to find rugby opportunities abroad — the current systems just aren’t built for international players to connect with clubs in other countries. Bernard helped me get in touch with a club in Ireland, and that connection opened a huge door for me. Having something like Rugby Connector makes so much sense, because it bridges that gap for players like me who want to test themselves overseas but don’t always know where to start.
