Established by the WRPA in 2017, Second Half Rugby is a registered charity dedicated to supporting professional rugby players in Wales during challenging times. Whether financial,
medical, or mental health related, Second Half strives to provide assistance where it’s needed most.

Speaking about the partnership CEO of the WRPA Gareth Lewis said: “This exciting partnership demonstrates the collective appreciation and support of those players that have given their all to the sport here in Wales. We look forward to engaging the fans across social media channels in some fun challenges over the coming weeks.”
Ashton Hewitt, WRPA Chairman and Trustee of Second Half Rugby, added, “Players, past and present, deeply value the support extended by the four regions. We are hopeful that this heightened visibility of our charity will translate into vital funds to aid our teammates during
challenging times.”
