Sanda contacted the Blue Mountains City Council, who referred them to David Campese. in 1996, David Campese was the patron of Wahroonga Rugby and put the two clubs together. With much hard work, Dr. Taba’s vision became a reality in 1997 with the first outbound tour of Tigers players to Japan.

Since that time, each year our clubs take turns visiting one another. The 8-10 day tour is a combination of rugby, sightseeing and formal and informal activities. It gives a wonderful opportunity for touring players to gain valuable rugby experiences.  Both players and adult chaperones are billeted with local families. They are immersed in the local culture, customs and way of life.
