Hi, I’m Nicole, and I’m still new to the rugby world. But filming at Fletcher’s Fields completely blew me away. Listening to the stories, seeing the memories come alive, and feeling the weight of what this place has meant to generations was overwhelming — in the best way.
Fletcher’s Fields isn’t just a rugby pitch. It’s where a kid’s first game sparks a lifelong love, where parents cheer from the sidelines, and where friendships are forged over muddy cleats and maybe a few shared beers.
For decades, this field has been a hub of community, camaraderie, and connection. From family days to international matches, from impromptu playground adventures to wedding rings lost in the grass, Fletcher’s Fields has witnessed life’s biggest moments.
Watching parents and players reflect on their journeys, I realized something powerful: some legacies extend far beyond wins and losses. They live in the people who carry them forward, passing down love for the game from one generation to the next.
Here, teammates and family blur together. Every match is a story, every try a celebration — not just for points, but for the joy of being part of something bigger than ourselves. Fletcher’s Fields is more than turf and uprights — it’s a heart, a community, a memory in motion.
This is what makes rugby so special: the friendships, the full-circle moments, the laughter, and the shared passion for the game. And as I filmed these interviews, it was impossible not to feel that same connection myself.
