Sports Report
Follow the Rugby World Cup on the RSA website
By the time the next RSA Review comes out, the Rugby World Cup 2011 will have well and truly kicked off. Make sure you visit the special Rugby World Cup section on the RNZRSA website (www.rsa.org.nz) and keep up with the events, promotions, food and entertainment being hosted by local RSAs during the event.
The Rugby World Cup section will be running on the website by Monday, August 15. It will include a map of New Zealand showing the locations of:
· All match venues.
· The main tourist attractions.
· Our 124 RSAs with bar facilities.
· Road distances and travelling times between match venues, tourist attractions and RSAs. The website will also carry the Rugby World Cup match schedule, showing matches, dates and venues.
Click on any RSA, and the link will take you direct to its dedicated Rugby World Cup page. So, whether you’re planning on touring around New Zealand and following the games, or you’re going to stay in your home town, you can find out about the RSA’s Rugby World Cup hosting programmes from one central website, or from the main notice board at your local RSA.

Eighteen-year-old Ordinary Diver Louis Mercer has become the Devonport RSA’s youngest service
member. Mercer had just completed basic common training with the RNZN, receiving the award for
the most improved recruit. At a post-graduation celebration, Devonport RSA president Jimmy Jones
presented him with his RSA badge and RSA membership through to December 2010. Mercer said he
was very proud to become an RSA member. Devonport RSA is working on initiatives to develop its
special relationship with the RNZN.
