Earlier in 2020, Singapore Rugby announced the formation of the Rugby Business Council (RBC) which intends to support rugby players careers and the SRU fundraising and projects.
The initial announcement in March 2020 of the formation of the RBC claimed that the organisation had already raised (Singapore) $160, 000 in only two meetings.
They had also secured 20 jobs or internships with 10 partners for Singapore’s rugby players- these included roles in the medical, fitness, legal, educational, finance and other fields.
What is the Singapore Rugby Business Council?

Singapore Rugby 2020
In 2020, Singapore Rugby has undergone a lot of change. Steven Rodaway was appointed as the new General Manager (GM) of the Singapore Sevens Rugby this year only for the Sevens event to be cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.
In addition, towards the end of 2019, Singapore Rugby Union confirmed the appointment of former All Black, Simon Mannix, as the new Head Coach of all the Singapore national rugby teams.
No national rugby team games have taken place in 2020 however after Asia Rugby cancelled the fixtures this year due to the pandemic.
