What happens on tour, stays on tour… well, almost! 😆
Tour life is about creating memories, building friendships, and occasionally becoming the target of a legendary prank.
This time, our GYS U18 Captain, Jensen Gowdy, woke up to discover his un**es had been frozen and carefully arranged to resemble the Irish flag! 🇮🇪❄️
Safe to say the boys were pretty pleased with themselves, and Jensen took it like a champ.
While the rugby is serious, the laughs, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments off the field are what make tours truly special.
Think you've got what it takes to handle the rugby and the tour pranks? 😅

What started with one group of young boys chasing an opportunity at the Perth Fiji Day 7s in 2012 has grown into something far bigger than rugby. From that very first FRESH U16 Junior boys team to our latest U18 boys squad proudly representing WA at the Global Youth 7s in Auckland in 2025, the journey has been built on faith, family, culture, hard work and belief in our young people.
Over that time, 285 junior players have come through the FRESH family.
Some have gone on to achieve success at high levels of rugby, while others have grown into outstanding young men and women making a positive impact in their communities, workplaces, schools and families. That has always been the true purpose behind FRESH.
This registry is more than just names and numbers.
It represents sacrifice, growth, brotherhood, sisterhood, culture, resilience and opportunity.
Every training session.
Every fundraiser.
Every early morning.
Every tournament.
Every player who wore the jersey.
No matter how many games you played or how long your journey lasted, once you are part of FRESH, you are always part of the family.
We are proud of every single junior who has represented our club and helped shape the legacy that continues today.
Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

FRESH is heading back to the Global Youth 7s in Auckland, New Zealand December 18–20.
This year’s campaign theme is PURPOSE inspired by Proverbs 19:21:
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
We’re now recruiting Perth U18 rugby talent ready to test themselves against some of the best young athletes in the world.
Every year, the Global Youth 7s attracts elite New Zealand based talent from strong rugby pathways and high-performance environments. The level of skill, speed, physicality and rugby IQ is unreal and the interest this year has already been massive.
This is more than just a tournament.
It’s an opportunity to:
• Compete against top talent from around the World
• Train and build connections with elite athletes
• Raise your own personal standards
• Experience one of the toughest youth 7s environments in the world
"Iron sharpens iron."
If you want to grow as a player, surround yourself with quality people, and challenge yourself at a higher level, this is your opportunity. As we have now opened up the option for NZ based talent to participate under FRESH.
Don’t just watch them.
Play with them.
Compete against them.
Become better because of it.
🔥 We’re recruiting now.

Community Outreach in South Auckland
FRESH was incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community in South Auckland through Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae and their impactful Kai Ika program.
As part of our 2026 “Purpose” campaign, this experience was a powerful reminder that our journey is about more than just rugby. It’s about understanding our “why” — serving others, connecting with community, and using our platform to make a positive impact.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing hosts, Matua (respected elder) Carlos and Whaea (respected female elder) Valerie, whose manaakitanga (hospitality, care, and generosity) and leadership brought this kaupapa (purpose/initiative) to life. Your guidance gave our players a deeper appreciation of what it truly means to give back.
The Kai Ika program plays a vital role in supporting whānau (family/community) by providing fresh food and helping feed the community. To contribute, even in a small way, reinforced the values that sit at the core of who we are as a club.
This is what Purpose looks like for FRESH.
Not just competing on the world stage, but showing up for community, culture, and something bigger than ourselves.
We went there with open hearts, and we left with full hearts.
We were blessed to be a blessing.
Ngā mihi nui (big thanks) to everyone involved for allowing us to share in something so special. ❤️
