Rugby Club Director, Ron Latham (right) the World's worst half-back, and great mate Don Smith (Hutt Valley High School's best flanker), have two hands on the Rugby World Cup - only a month before Richie Macaw claimed it. The Rugby Club was formed in 1945 as a city base for all rugby players and lovers of the game. The Rugby Club was originally the HQ of the NSW Rugby Union and later the ARU and was where Wallaby touring teams were presented their jerseys. It was also where the Australian and New Zealand Rugby Boards met in 1984/5 and agreed to establish the Rugby World Cup - it is where “Bill" was born.
