Rugby in Indonesia
Rugby has never been as popular as it is today. It was announced, that the summer Olympics in 2016, Rugby Sevens will make its Olympic Debut. Rugby sevens is one of the modified version of the game which features 7 players a side instead of the traditionally 15.
Persatuan Rugby Union Indonesia (PRUI) was formed in May 2004 and has since been a Full Member of the Asian Rugby Football Union (ARFU) in 2005 & an Associate Member of the International Rugby Board (IRB) in 2008.
In Indonesia, rugby is currently played by 16 teams spread across 12 provinces in the Indonesian archipelago and continue to grow exponentially with more than 700 Indonesians currently involved in the Game.
Indonesian rugby is represented on the international playing field by 3 national teams: Men’s National 15’s (Rhinos), Men’s National 7’s (Harimau), and the Women’s National 7’s (Cendrawasih).

Nick Hoskins
Nick has been a player and coach for over 40 years starting in Junior school in England and representing the Isle of Wight and Sussex at junior levels then moving to London and joining London Welsh. After immigrating to Australia in 1985, a neck injury stopped all ambitions of playing representative rugby though he then managed to rack up 150 caps for Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
Now a level II ARU coach, Nick went on to coach at a number of senior clubs in Western Australia as well as coaching the State U15s and U16s. Work commitments overseas stopped his ability to coach in Australia, though he maintains the passion for the game watching his three sons play at State and International levels and coming out of retirement for a run at the 2012 Bali 10’s.
Moving to Jakarta this year and watching a recent training session of the Bantengs, Nick is excited by the skills and enthusiasm on display and is looking forward to helping the current coaching staff with developing the club and players in 2013.

Hello,
I was wondering If I can know where You guys meet and if I am able to join. I dont really know much about Jakarta because I lived most of my life overseas, but I am Indonesian. I am 14 and I was wondering if You guys have different age group in your club, also what equipments I will be using for matches.
Im kind of new to Rugby because my last hobby was racing and i figure that I would have more time to play Rugby, I will be moving to America if my parents are happy with my performance in Rugby. I was hoping I could start my career here and hopefully get somewhere in the future. I basically just want information about the club and hoping someone can help me out.
Thank you.

Hi,
I am a Fijian born young man and I have been playing rugby ever since I could pick up the ball and run in this small Island nation. I play for USON CLUB as a Utility Backs and we competes in the local 15′s series and I played seven a side too when we have off seasons. I will be coming to Indonesia in July 2012 to study and I was wondering if I could play for your club? In Fiji, rugby is our national sports and we are crazy about rugby just like New Zealand people are. Our national seven team is the only team that have won the Sevens World Cup Two times. I guess now you know how crazy we are about rugby. So please let me know if I could play for your club.

Hello Admin,
I am a french citizen, working in Indonesia and father of 3 kids ( 15 y old twins and 17 y old – all 1.80 tall ) and they are keen playing rugby.
They played for 4 years in Zurich in Switzerland and for 1 year in the Lycee Francais of Jakarta. One of my son has been elected better scorer at a youth tournament that they won. The 2 other one are mostly part of the scrum.
I would enjoy them to play at more competitive level.
We are living in the South part of Jakarta .
Do you have any solution in the South part of Jakarta to fulfill our requests or what solution could you propose us ?
Thanks in advance for your early reply
Brgds
