Media Stories
SA Rugby has recruited two UniSA Media students to write reviews of the Premier Grade matches to assist with lifting the profile of Rugby in South Australia. Their names are Huw Cushing and Adam Holmes, and they may approach you for team sheets and other information for these reviews. It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist them where possible to create interesting content which we are hoping will be published in the Messenger Newspapers.
