The New South Wales Rugby Union (NSWRU) is the organisation responsible for the sport of rugby union in most of the state of New South Wales, Australia. The Sydney Rugby Union, New South Wales Country Rugby Union and the New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union (commonly known as Subbies) are also affiliated to the NSWRU.
The Monaro, Far South Coast and Southern Inland unions of New South Wales are not affiliated with the NSWRU. They joined the ACT Rugby Union in 2004, which led to that body renaming itself the ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union.
Famous quotes containing the words south, wales and/or union:
“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“I just come and talk to the plants, really—very important to talk to them, they respond I find.”
—Charles, Prince Of Wales (b. 1948)
“Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.”
—Frances E. Willard 1839–1898, U.S. president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union 1879-1891, author, activist. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 137-40 (January 1887)
