Adelaide University Rugby Union Football Club

Home game energy this Saturday

Our Ressies and Prems are ready to charge into a massive clash against Port Adelaide on home turf. With our women’s team taking a well earned break on their bye round.

Big hits, fast footy and black jerseys flying around all afternoon, there’s nothing better. The work’s been done at training, now it’s time to bring the intensity where it counts.

Get around the boys, get loud on the sideline 🖤

RugbySA is committed to improving the rugby experience for all participants in our game, be that players, match officials or spectators. In this regard, we are taking the opportunity to address some key areas of concern regarding in-game player discipline, sideline behaviour and post-match interactions across our senior competitions.

100 games for Dylan

Some players rack up games. Others earn every single one of them through hard work, sacrifice, and always putting the team first and Dyl is absolutely one of those players.

From his first day at the club to now, Dyl has become one of the most dependable people around the club. No matter the grade, the position, or what’s needed on the day, he never hesitates to put his hand up and do the job for the team.

What makes this milestone so special isn’t just the number beside his name, but the way he’s gone about it. Quietly consistent, tough as nails, endlessly positive, and the sort of teammate every club hopes to have. A leader through actions, standards, and the energy he brings every week.

100 games represents commitment, loyalty, and countless moments of putting the club before himself and the Adelaide Uni rugbyand the Sharks are better for it.

Congratulations Dyl, Here’s to the next 100 🖤🖤

100 games for Onions 😈🤘🏽

Since arriving at the club in 2020, Onions has become the definition of a Adelaide Uni Rugby man , a leader, a competitor and someone who gives absolutely everything to the club both on and off the field.

No matter the jersey number, the grade or the job that needs doing, he’s always the first to put his hand up. Tough, reliable and endlessly selfless, he’s earned the respect of everyone around him through the way he plays the game and the way he looks after the people in this club.

From massive carries on the field to countless hours volunteering off it, reaching 100 games is a reflection of just how much he’s poured into the black jersey over the years.

Congratulations Ben Onions 🍻 A huge milestone for one of the club’s absolute best.

100 games for BooBoo 😎

Player, coach, mentor, enforcer!!
BooBoo has been just about everything for the Sharks and the wider club over the years. Whether he’s steering the side around from 10, pulling off a ridiculous trick play, or charging off the bench to lift the intensity, he’s always brought experience, passion and plenty of entertainment.

Never far away from a yellow or red card, BooBoo has always played the game hard and with his whole heart. But beyond the chaos, he’s had a massive impact on the people around him and helped shape the culture of Adelaide Uni Rugby into what it is today.

100 games in black for one of the club’s great characters 🍻 Congrats BooBoo.

50 games for Ry 🤙🏽

In a short time, Ry has become one of the heartbeats of the club. From earning his spot as Club Captain to constantly putting his hand up wherever needed, he’s the kind of person every club hopes for.

Whether it’s backing up for multiple grades, helping behind the scenes, or simply making the clubhouse a better place to be, Ry gives everything he has to the black jersey and the people around him.

A leader, a teammate and an all-round great bloke. This 50-game milestone is incredibly well deserved.

Congratulations Ry 🍻 Here’s to the next 50.

50 games for Sophia 🖤

Player, coach, manager, previous club captain, committee member, teammate, friend. There aren’t many parts of this club Soph hasn’t poured herself into.

For years she’s given everything to Adelaide Uni Rugby and the people in it, always putting others first and helping make this club feel like home for so many. Kind, caring and endlessly supportive off the field… then absolutely fearless once she steps onto it.

This milestone is about far more than 50 games. It’s a reflection of the impact Soph has had on the lives of so many people around the club.

Congratulations Soph!! The heart of the club, through and through 🖤🖤🖤

50 games for Stuckey 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

After watching his son play, Stuckey decided to pull the boots on himself and the club’s been better for it ever since.

From day one he’s brought toughness, effort and a team-first attitude that every side needs. Week after week he throws himself into the hard work, never taking a backwards step and setting the standard for those around him, no matter the challenge.

More than just a player, Stuckey’s become a huge part of the club culture and someone everyone loves sharing the field with.

Congratulations on 50 games mate 🍻 A brilliant milestone for an even better bloke.
