Rugby unites to support Syria and Turkey
By Online Editors
The global rugby family is uniting to support those affected by the devastating earthquakes that hit Syria and Turkey.
With homes damaged or destroyed and fresh drinking water, agricultural production and public services disrupted, the rugby family have joined forces to pledge their full support to the Rugby family at this difficult time.
Recognising that fans around the world are keen to assist and support at this time of need, World Rugby is supporting the United Nations and World Health Organisation’s relief efforts.
WHO Foundation — Lifesaving Response to Earthquakes in Türkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic
WHO is assisting with the international relief effort, deploying emergency medical teams to treat injured people, support health workers and maintain essential health services throughout rescue operations and beyond.
World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: “We stand in solidarity with the people of Syria and Turkey at this difficult time. As a family, we support our family members and working with our regional associations we will support the unions where required and promote the international aid effort.”

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
