FARMER BOY'S DREAM - Help fund a Next Generation Rugby legend in the making (dream come true) on his BRSI Bulldog Ireland Tour.

Life Changing chance for Unlimited opportunities for a Rugby Loving heart!!!

Auckland

At just 15, Rico doesn’t just play rugby; HE LIVES IT!!!

From the moment he could grip a ball, his "life-long" dream has been the same: to pull on a jersey and compete against the best in the world.

Rico’s dedication is unmatched. Whether it’s 5:00 AM training sessions in the rain, gym sessions with his team mates, or staying late to perfect his kick, he is putting in the work to become one of the most promising young talents in his region.

Now, that hard work has paid off with a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to join an elite rugby tour to represent the BRSI Bulldogs Rugby Team in Ireland.

This tour has been specifically assembled to expose the participants not only of the countries, but also the UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES available to them. The team will have the opportunity to tour Ireland in December 2026.

This isn't just a trip; it’s a gateway to the world stage!!! Playing in THE HEART OF INTERNATIONAL RUGBY, will give Rico the exposure and experience he needs to take his game to the professional level.

However, the costs of international travel, kit, and tournament fees are a heavy lift.

We are reaching out to our community to help this determined Young Gentleman chase his dream. Every dollar donated goes directly toward Rico’s tour expenses, ensuring that financial barriers DO NOT stand in the way of his incredible potential.

PLEASE Help Rico get to Ireland and show the world what he is made of!!!

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
