HK INTERNATIONAL YOUTH 10s U16 BOYS CHAMPIONS 🏆🌏

A group of boys from 8 different rugby union and rugby league clubs across the Gold Coast came together to compete up an age group in the U16 division against quality international opposition… and brought the trophy back to the Gold Coast!

Their journey wasn’t straightforward.

They lost to the eventual Grand Final opponents in the pool rounds. Preparation leading into the tournament was far from ideal, with school, club commitments, injuries, travel, and all the conflicting priorities that come with sport. Yet somehow, when the pressure was highest and their backs were against the wall, they found something extra.

Down a player with a yellow card in the Grand Final, they refused to fold. They fought for each other, defended for each other, and dug deeper than they probably thought possible to come away with the win and be crowned HKY10s U16 Champions. 🏆🥇💪

That’s the special thing about rugby.

It brings people together from different schools, clubs, backgrounds, and experiences. Boys who were almost strangers weeks earlier became brothers over the course of a tournament. Rugby has a way of building connection, resilience, trust, and mateship unlike any other game. It teaches young people how to work for something bigger than themselves — how to sacrifice, grind, and stay together when things get hard.

This team showed what can happen when individuals commit to each other.

No excuses. No shortcuts. Just heart, effort, connection, and belief.

Massive thank you to the families, supporters, coaches, sponsors, and clubs who backed this opportunity and helped these boys experience international rugby and create memories that’ll stay with them forever.

This is what rugby is all about ❤️🏉

Put your hands together 👏👏for TK who has been selected in the QLD U16 Rugby League team following a strong performance at the QLD State Champs in Gladstone. We spotted TK playing South Coast 7s in her maiden season of rugby less than 12 months ago and snapped her up in our program. A talented athlete with crazy skills, fantastic decision making and a coachable attitude, we knew it would not be long before TK was noticed on the big stage. Unable to join us in HK due to an injury, her decision to focus on her recovery for the league event (despite the major fomo) was a mature and wise one to make and her achievements this week have confirmed that. Super proud of you TK and this year is going to be a busy one for you! 😍💪

U18 Girls — Champions at Tropical 7s in Florida! 🌴🏉

Undefeated all tournament, but it was anything but easy. We faced some seriously competitive matches and had two key players pick up injuries in the semi that put them in doubt for the Grand Final.

Thanks to a well-timed break before the GF, the girls dug deep — getting treatment, resetting, and coming back ready to go.

What followed was something special. Quality skills, strong connection, and the bravery to take risks when it mattered most saw them rise to the occasion and take down the reigning champions. 🏆🥇

Proud is an understatement. 💪🔥😍

Congratulations to Renegades athletes Ariaana Te Hau and Teuila-Tuugavao Soe who were selected in the U14 Girls Aotearoa NZ Maori Rugby League team following their participation in the ANZMRL Teina Kōtiro Tournament in Taranaki, NZ. They will head over to Auckland to play in the Tuakana Tournament in October. These young ladies are extremely talented athletes who have an exciting future ahead of them. 🔥🏉🫶

And the U14s…. They also went through the tournament undefeated and did not concede any points!! The skill they displayed in the grand final was sensational to watch and even had commentator Alicia Quirk in awe. They scored 32 unanswered points in the GF against the best team in the HK competition and it was really special to watch the celebration with the Rene’s U16 girls and boys when the final whistle blew. This team will be one to watch over the next few years as they make their way through the youth pathways. Some future international players for sure! 😍🔥🏉💪
