A History of Success
The Premiership Success
Since then the Tigers have won the Hospital Cup on five occasions, in 1997, 1999, 2008, 2013 and 2020. In both 1984 and 1999 Easts won the Welsby Cup and Horsley Cup, while they have also claimed the Doughty Shield on six occasions (1987, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2020).
Following their 2008 Premiership success, Easts went on to become Australian Club Champions by defeating Sydney University. They replicated this feat in 2021 with a victory over Gordon Rugby Club to claim the club’s second Australian Club Championship Title.
Without a doubt 2020 was the most successful year in the nearly 75 year history of the club.
Securing 6 Premierships in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, Premier Women and Colts 4, the club also won the Doughty Shield for a 6th time.
In their history 13 players have received Premier Rugby player of the year honours, our most recent being Ben Mowen in 2020.
A total of 29 players that have played for the Tigers have also gone on to wear the Green and Gold jersey for either the Wallabies, Australian 7s, Australian U20s, Australian U18s or the Wallaroos teams.
A new era in Women’s Rugby
Arguably our most successful team is our Premier Women’s Rugby side accumulating 8 premiership wins in recent years.
With an evolving program Easts is proud to have been the training ground for many of Australia’s loved international players.
We welcome enquiries to play throughout the year so it’s never too late to become a Women’s Rugby Player!
