The Reggae Warriors

The Reggae Warriors are made up of domestic and UK-based players from professional, semi-professional and amateur backgrounds, proudly representing Jamaica on the international rugby league stage. They will play for Jamaica at the Emerging Nations Tournament 2026 in Sydney, Australia, bringing Caribbean flair, passion, and skill to the international stage. Committed to inspiring the next generation, the team champions diversity, celebrates Jamaican culture, and fosters inclusion both on and off the field.

This fundraiser is to support the UK-based players in representing Jamaica at the tournament.

DUKE AL

DUKE AL is an award-winning spoken word artist, author, and creative practitioner. Writing rhymes is his therapy. From a young age, he would scribble raps and poems in his old lyric book. It was his way of expressing himself – an escapism to challenge his OCD. A passion of words, flow and rhyme flared. After being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 23, the pen became even more vital, helping him process and articulate his emotions. Now, DUKE AL uses his craft to create impactful change, one rhyme at a time. His latest collection IMAGINE WE TRADE BODIES WITH SHEEP is out now. His work has been featured in Go.Compare Six Nations 2025, FAW, Cardiff Rugby, Creative Cardiff, TNT Sports, BBC Wales, FujiFilm UK, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Arts For Health and Wellbeing and BBC Scrum V for The Six Nations 2022.
