Eastern Suburbs District Rugby Club, often known as “Easts” or “Beasties,” was formed at a meeting in Paddington Town Hall, Sydney, Australia, on March 22, 1900. It is the oldest district rugby union club in Australia. The club is based in Rose Bay, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, and their home ground is Woollahra Oval. The club has a rich history of success, with numerous premiership titles and shields across all grades, including multiple Shute Shield wins (the first in 1903). Easts have been a breeding ground for talented players, including many who have gone on to play for the Wallabies. Some of the legendary names associated with the club include H.H. “Dally” Messenger, Tony Daly, and Jason Little.
