I look forward to watching the Legion’s success on the field in the coming years. I would also like to extend a big thank you and good luck to all the players, staff and fans. There have been many memorable moments in the last 3 seasons, and I know there will be many more ahead for Legion rugby."

As an organization, we are very well positioned for the future. Ryan and I personally and professionally wish Rob all the very best in his future rugby endeavors.”
