The Queanbeyan Whites are a Rugby Union team based in
Queanbeyan,
New South Wales. They were established in 1954 and in 1955 first played in the ACTRU Competition. They won the competition in their first year and then went on to win it again four times- including a run of three successive premierships from 1981-1983. They have had many rugby super-stars play for them including Australia's test try scoring record holder,
David Campese- a player regarded by many as being the finest rugby player in history-,
Ricky Stuart- who captained the team in 1987- and
Matt Giteau- Australia's highest ever paid rugby player. Several lesser known- yet prominent- players have also made appearances for the Whites including
Wallabies players David Grimmond and
Peter Ryan and
Brumbies super-sub Ipolito Fenukitau.
