The Queensland Reds of today are getting hands-on with our stars of the future as part of the Super Rugby club’s Reds to Regions program.
Reds stars Richie Asiata and Josh Flook are in the Mackay Whitsunday region for the next few days for various meet and greets with local rugby fans, beginning this evening at the Bowen Mudcrabs Rugby Union Club.
Asiata said getting to regional areas and interacting with the stars of tomorrow was one of the best parts of being a professional athlete.
“I really enjoy this part of the game. For me personally, I think it’s important to give back to the kids – they’re the future,” the 24-year-old prop said.
