Acting Premier, the Hon. James Merlino MP, today announced the single largest investment ever made in Victorian Rugby, which will deliver a new State Rugby Centre of Excellence at La Trobe University in Bundoora, serving all participants in the sport from community to elite levels.

We are thrilled with the State Government’s unprecedented commitment to the sport, which recognises Victorian Rugby’s proven capacity to positIvely impact our community,” Docherty said.
