"What SKRUM is doing proves that sport really can make a genuine difference to young lives and as a former schoolmaster I know that Kids and Rugby makes a winning combination. Keep up the good work!"


- Jake White, 2007 Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok coach

"Rugby's taken me all over the world and one thing that's the same wherever you go is the look on a child's face when they first play the game. Children face challenges in Swaziland that we can scarcely imagine in the UK and SKRUM gives them hope. It's one of those projects that makes you proud to be involved in the game. Well done to everyone at SKRUM, congratulations on reaching the 100 school mark already and let's keep up the good work! "


- Josh Lewsey, Wasps, England, British & Irish Lions

"I am delighted to provide my support to Swaziland Rugby and the SKRUM project. Those of us that have been fortunate enough to have played and enjoyed the game of rugby union know just what a powerful tool it can be in changing the lives of children and young people. It teaches valuable life skills such as respect, discipline, and teamwork as well as providing opportunities to build self esteem and meet life long friends. The SKRUM project is an excellent example of how sport, and rugby specifically, can make a huge difference to the lives of those less fortunate. I wish all those involved in the project every continued success."


- Richard Hill MBE, Saracens, England, and the British & Irish Lions

"Rugby has always been about people for me, from team mates and opponents on the field to getting to know people on tour and ultimately making friendships for life. And SKRUM goes right to the core of rugby's guiding principles of cameradie, brotherhood and friendship. It is frightening what is happening in Swaziland and many other countries in Africa. Michael, Linda and their SKRUM team have taken on a massive challenge and I hope they get all the support they need."
