Race to Rugby World Cup
Next Article
It was a privilege to have rugby enthusiasts and adventurers Ron Rutland and Adam Nunn visit the Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) on Sunday, 29 May 2022. They were being hosted at the SCC by the Singapore chapter of the Rhinos rugby fraternity.
Ron, having previously cycled from London to Tokyo to deliver the 2019 Rugby World Cup whistle together with his riding partner Adam, were here on route cycling from Tokyo to Paris to deliver the ceremonial match whistle for the opening game of the men’s Rugby World Cup in France which kicks off in September 2023.
From Singapore, it will be island hopping across Indonesia, a ferry to Darwin, cycle to Sydney and the duo then fly to New Zealand to deliver the ceremonial whistle for the opening game of the women’s Rugby World Cup 2022 beginning on October 8th.
The next leg will be to cycle through South and North America, fly across to Iceland then the UK, before they embark on the final leg of cycling to Paris for the start of the RWC 2023. More than just an adventure, the duo plan to raise $200,000 for the ChildFund Rugby, a charity which offers opportunities for young people from disadvantaged communities to play, learn and lead through Rugby and sport.
When asked what the most challenging aspect of the journey is, Ron quipped, “It is keeping the ceremonial whistle safe and making sure it makes it to both New Zealand and France in time for the respective Rugby World Cups.”
The Singapore Cricket Club wishes them safe travels and may they inspire others to embark on similar journeys of giving back to the larger community through Sport.
