National Competition.

Rugby Union, or variants of it has been played in Whitlam for over 100 years. The 10 main groups that made up the population of Whitlam each had their own colours and nicknames for their respective teams, who occasionally met each other on the football field after the people of Old Pent began to unite, playing out rivalries on the playing field instead of the battlefield. Even under Terramarcian rule, rugby continued to be played, even less frequently than before. With the declaration of the Federal Republic of Whitlam, it was decided by the newly formed Whitlam Rugby Union that the old colours and nicknames would be retained, so no one would forget Rugby's proud history in Whitlam.

Central Rats.

3rd Class Phy.2 Tech.3 HB.4 Off.2 Def.3

Name	Central Rats
Year Admitted	298
Colours	Green and White
History	As the Central state is the political centre of Whitlam, generally, sporting teams that came from Central contained public servants and political workers from all walks of life, especially in the amateur sports like Rugby. Opposition contempt for these players led them to be called the Rats, (a Whitlamite term for a disloyal or cheating politician) Taking the insult on, the players of Central adopted the name, in defiance of their detractors.
Star Players	11 - Damian Camporeale, 9 - Harris Petersen, 1 - Sergei Armstroko.

Curtin Cutlasses.

3rd Class Phy.3 Tech.3 HB.3 Off.3 Def.3

Name	Curtin Cutlasses
Year Admitted	298
Colours	Red, White, Gold, Blue.
History	The borders of the state of Curtin are the only ones that have not been changed for many years, with the borders looking like a sword or dagger, with a curved blade. This naturally lead to nicknames like "Stabbers" "Swords" or "Knives" however, the most popular was "Cutlasses".
Star Players.	14 - Andrew Nicquila, 3 - Nick Dimond.

Finn Bluebags.

4th Class Phy.2 Tech.2 HB.2 Off.3 Def.3

Name	Finn Bluebags
Year Admitted	298
Colours	Blue, White.
History	This nickname is one whose origins are still basically unknown, with the general consensus of belief that it merely arose due to Finn's poor form many years ago. Again, the old style jerseys are retained.
Star Players	15 - Matthew Rodriguez, 7 - Mike Ferrier.

Hawke Pirates.

4th Class Phy.3 Tech.3 HB.2 Off.2 Def.2

Name	Hawke Pirates
Year Admitted	298
Colours	Black and White
History	With a major seaport on the coast, and with the team from Hawke travelling to the southern states by sea instead of land, Hawke were destined to be nicknamed the Pirates, they were once feared by many, and arrived by sea. Perhaps those times have gone, but the spirit certainly remains!
Star Players.	1 - David Belling, 14 - Serge Varlet.

Helena Archers.

3rd Class Phy.3 Tech.4 HB.3 Off.3 Def.2

Name	Helena Archers
Year	298
Colours	Black and Red
History	The central regions of Whitlam were heavily forested in the years before Terramarcian occupation, but are far less so now, due to the many years of mismanagement. At the time, the team that was made up from the region was known as the Archers, because of their woodland heritage and their skills with precision weapons in wartime. The team now retains this name as a tribute to their origins.
Star Players	13 - Joseph Tapeauffe, 10 - Manuel Dannaforth.

Monash Woods.

3rd Class Phy.2 Tech.2 HB.3 Off.4 Def.3

Name	Monash Woods
Year Admitted	298
Colours	White and Blue.
History	The most northern part of Monash was once known as Westwoods, again a reflection back to Whitlam's heavily forested past. Their name was shaped down from Westwoods to Woods over the years, and the name has been reprised for the National Competition.
Star Players.	12 - Will Hayden.

Rogers Dirty Reds.

4th Class Phy.2 Tech.2 HB.3 Off.3 Def.2

Name	Rogers Dirty Reds
Year Admitted	298
Colours	Maroon, White
History	Early Rugby in Whitlam began with Whitlam still quite isolated, as a result the state of Rogers, and Whitlam as a whole was not heavily involved in trade. As a result the initial qualities of fabric in Whitlam were not very high. This is the reason for the maroon colour of the Rogers team's jerseys today. A reproduction of a poor attempt at a red colouring.
Star Players	6 - Tiaan Smuts, 5 - Christian Noriega

3rd Class Phy.3 Tech.4 HB.3 Off.2 Def.2

Team	Southern Whitlam Wildfires

Star Players	4 - Lance Pappworth, 3 - Robert Aiston.

Watson Highlanders.

3rd Class Phy.2 Tech.3 HB.4 Off.3 Def.2

Team	Watson Highlanders

4th Class Phy.3 Tech.2 HB.3 Off.2 Def.2

Name	Western Plains Crows
