AFTER a four-year absence from the playing field, the Milton Platypi are making plans to return to South Coast Rugby Union in 2021. The Platypi was one of the inaugural teams that played in the Far South Coast Rugby Zone competition's maiden season in 1981. With 2021 marking the 40-year anniversary of the competition, the league committee and Milton club thought it was appropriate to get the Frogs Holla-based club, as well as other former clubs such as Vincentia, Narooma and Bega, back onto the field.

South Coast Rugby Union, formerly Far South Coast Rugby Zone, boundaries run from Vincentia to Bega and also includes Braidwood. During the COVID-19 affected 2020 season, the South Coast Monaro competition featured teams from Taralga, Jindabyne, Bungendore, Braidwood, Batemans Bay, Broulee and Yass. In the lead-up to the season, the Monaro competition, in conjunction with the ACT Brumbies, will be running 10-a-side gala days at various venues from March.

"10s rugby is a simpler format of the game, that is a great introduction to the rules and allows players of any size and ability to quickly understand and enjoy the game."
