As the Youth Olympic Games head to a close, there is a sense of pride about what Africa has achieved with the first Olympic event on the continent.

The RGH Shogun are heading back to Singapore for the Singapore Cricket Club International Rugby 7s and the Ablitt Cup!
We will arrive as the 2025 champions, but the mission of this group is not to defend a title. That achievement belongs to the special group of men who earned it last year. Our mission is to create our own legacy in 2026 and write the next chapter of the Shogun story.
We play for the badge, our families, our teammates and everyone who has worn this jersey before us for the past 30 years.
The shirts are packed, the countdown is on and a new chapter awaits.
Let’s make it count!
