Mini Exhibition

What you will see
With a stiletto trophy and international silverware taking centre stage, this exhibition is not to be missed.
Close to celebrating their 26th birthday, the Steelers have had a rainbow-coloured career. Aside from being trailblazers in the rugby community, they've have overcome a multitude of hurdles to establish a successful and competitive club, regularly fielding multiple teams at weekend fixtures and championing diversity and inclusion on and off the field. Most recently, the club have found further fame through the critically-acclaimed film Steelers.
Embodying the sport's core values of respect, discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship and enjoyment, the Steelers have a powerful and inspiring story to tell.
