We are an international club. Every year we get quite a few working holidayers who know rugby is a great way to get settled quickly and have fun.
In addition to our locally developed players, each season sees an increase in foreign-based players, predominantly from Ireland, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Other nationalities currently represented at the club include Argentina, France, USA, and Zimbabwe. Despite strong representation from traditional rugby power nations, the Nomads selection committee prides itself on merit rather than nationality.
The Nomads have provided an excellent introduction to Toronto life for people new to the city and country through their off-field social environment. Frequent visits to the pub after training and match-days, fundraising events throughout the season, and friendships built from within the club are just some of the social benefits the club has provided.
If you want to come over (or up, or down) and play some rugby, we’d love to have you. We’ll do what we can to help out with accommodation and work, but we cannot offer any guarantees in this area. Generally speaking, things will be much easier if you’re legal to work here. Reach out to us and we can take things from there!
