Once a Warthog, Always a Warthog | Oakland Rugby Reunion Big thanks to all the coaches and players for making my time as a Warthog unforgettable. Much love and rest in peace to the alumni we’ve lost.

Former Warthog Captain Moni Tongauiha has played for the Eagles against the All Blacks, earned his 50th MLR cap this season, and earned the NOLA GOLD MVP! Keeps making us all proud. Way to be an example Moni!

Alex Glover played high school rugby for Berkeley. He joined the North Bay/Warthogs team for the National Invitational Tournament. It was during this tournament that Alex considered declining a full ride scholarship to Humboldt for football. He didn’t think he could plan on playing in the NFL that way. He chose to pursue rugby, played for Santa Barabara Rugby Academy in which he was acknowledged for his outstanding character. They sent him to a 12 week rugby camp in New Zealand. Then he earned his way to a partial scholarship playing rugby for one of the best collegiate rugby programs in the country, St. Mary’s. This kid from Oakland with an amazing mother who raised her son right, didn’t only defy odds, but he paved his way. He made his moves count, and now has a degree from St. Mary’s. We didn’t get to be a part of the majority of his high school career, but we are extremely grateful to have been a part of his successful future. Without his character and work ethic, his accomplishments would have been impossible! Thank you to those that donated and supported our program over the years. Your donations made it possible for us to assist Alex to pay tuition over the years. You helped make this happen!!!!
