Starting Sunday, the Australian Rugby Union is launching Tasmanian Development Week to engage more locals interested in taking a role in the game.

It doesn't matter whether you're keen to become a coach, referee or even a potential Rugby Sevens player, the ARU is encouraging everyone interested in Rugby Union to come and check out what the sport is about.
