ABOUT FIGS

Who We Are

Former International Greats (FIGS) is an association of former Rugby League internationals who represented their countries at the highest level of the game.

The organisation brings together players from Australia, New Zealand, England, France, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and many other rugby league nations.

FIGS exists to maintain the camaraderie built through international competition while using that collective experience and profile to give back to the community through charitable and fundraising initiatives.

OUR VISION

A Stronger Rugby League Community

To unite former international Rugby League players in fellowship and service, creating opportunities that benefit both our members and the wider Rugby League community.

OUR VALUES
OUR MISSION
