His leadership has been marked by tireless advocacy for youth development, strategic collaboration with schools and unions and a deep belief in rugby\u2019s power to unite and uplift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to extend our deepest gratitude and admiration to No\u00ebl, for your outstanding service and unwavering dedication to school rugby in our country. Your legacy will endure not only in the structures you helped build, but in the lives you\u2019ve shaped and the spirit you\u2019ve inspired. You leave behind a game stronger, fairer and more hopeful because of your service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, I would like to congratulate Kervin, Katiso and Granville on their elections and wish them all the best for their terms.
