About Lloyd McDermott Rugby Development Team
Known as the Lloydies, the team was founded in 1991 to bring rugby union to young Indigenous men and women across Australia, pairing rugby with education, scholarships and mentoring. It is named after Lloyd McDermott, who played two Tests for the Wallabies in 1962 and became Australia's first Indigenous barrister; former Wallaby Gary Ella has served as its president. This is their fourth straight SCC 7s. They reached the Ablitt Cup final on debut in 2023 and again in 2025, when they beat Tradition Bucks and Royal Town Warriors before losing to Shogun, and they arrive determined to go one better.
