National Registration Day 2012

Check out some of the highlights from around the country, as Rugby players from all over Australia began their season with their local Super Rugby heroes.

It was the Australian Rugby Union's National Registration Day on Saturday, February 18 at Gosch's Paddock before the final trial match against the Crusaders at AAMI Park. Heaps of kids descended on Gosch's Paddock to register with their local club, as well as take part in rugby coaching clinics, and meet their RaboDirect Rebel heroes, get autographs and have their photos taken.

The Waratahs held their Fan Day at the Sydney Football Stadium last Saturday, as part of the nation-wide Registration Day on February 18.
