COLLEGE RUGBY CONNECT LLC 🤝🏽🏉

Officially launched with one mission:
creating real opportunities for student-athletes through rugby.

What started through years of hard work, relationships, sacrifice, and dedication to the game has now grown into something bigger than rugby itself.

College Rugby Connect was built to help athletes gain real exposure, connect with college programs, and navigate the recruiting process the right way. From player profiles and showcase events to direct recruiter connections, CRC is focused on opening doors and helping athletes reach the next level both on and off the field.

This is about more than recruiting.
This is about changing lives, building pathways, and creating opportunities for the next generation through the game we love.

Founded by Robert Pahulu, CRC was built from the ground up through years of working with athletes, families, clubs, and college programs across the country. The vision has always been bigger than the field:
give athletes a real chance, real guidance, and real opportunities.

The work is real.
The relationships are real.
The opportunities are real.

Rugby ability opens the door.
Academics move the conversation forward.

Welcome to COLLEGE RUGBY CONNECT LLC.
The next chapter starts here. by @collegerugbyconnect
