🏉💙💛 THIS IS WHAT GRASSROOTS RUGBY IS ALL ABOUT!

After contacting Greg Richmond to let him know he'd won our Mizuno Neo Rugby Boots giveaway, his first response wasn't about himself.

Greg wanted to hold onto the prize until he found a young player who genuinely needed a pair of boots.

We then threw another idea his way...

What if we used the prize to help keep kids in rugby by contributing towards their registrations for the year?

And that's exactly what Greg decided to do! 👏

People like Greg don't get nearly enough recognition for the countless hours, love, passion and effort they pour into our youth and grassroots rugby.

The volunteers, coaches and community members who give up their own time to make sure the next generation has opportunities to play this great game are the backbone of our sport.

Greg, we're massive fans of what you do for rugby, particularly our women's pathways here in Central Queensland.

We couldn't be happier that your name was drawn, and seeing you turn a personal win into an opportunity for others makes it even better.

From all of us at Forge & Field Rugby, thank you for everything you do, mate!

This is bigger than a pair of boots. This is about keeping kids in the game. 🏉💙

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Jehezekiel “Jez” Tekii

Forge & Field Rugby | Forward Department

Some athletes wait to be told what to do. Jez listens, applies the lesson, and keeps improving long after training ends.

I first met Jez earlier this year while away with the CQ Bushrangers U16s, and his coachability stood out immediately. He was attentive, receptive to feedback, and willing to put instruction into action, clear signs of a young athlete driven about reaching his potential.

What impressed me most was learning that Jez keeps his own player journal and diary. At just 16, he is already showing the self-discipline and ambition to take ownership of his rugby journey.

Currently representing The Rockhampton Grammar School & Frenchville Sports Club , Jez is a versatile forward who plays across the back row and second row. With five years of rugby experience and several representative opportunities behind him, he is building a strong foundation.

But what really caught my attention wasn't his résumé. It was his mindset.

When I asked about his aspirations, his answer was simple:

"To play for the All Blacks or Australia one day."

When I asked why, his response wasn't about fame or recognition. It was about providing for his family, his love of rugby, and inspiring other kids to chase their dreams.

His idol is God,Jesus, and his favourite rugby player is Ardie Savea.

One question, however, stood out. I asked Jez:

"Imagine you've made it. You're a professional rugby player representing the All Blacks. What message would you send back to your younger self?"

His response was powerful:

"Don't let others talk you down. Block out the outside noise. Do what you do and build on it. Other people's opinions don't matter as much as your own. Your biggest enemy is yourself."

For a 16-year-old athlete, that's a remarkable perspective.

I also respect that Jez doesn't pretend to have everything figured out. He recognises the areas of his game that need improvement.

His immediate goal is to earn an opportunity within a rugby academy. His ultimate goal is professional rugby.

Blessed to forge a path on the field for Jez & passionate to watch him succeed.
