From Country Roots to City Rugby: Meet Southern Districts Star Georgia Moore

At Tynan Motors, we love celebrating inspiring local stories — especially when they shine a spotlight on determination, resilience, and community spirit.

Recently, Madeline Tynan sat down with Southern Districts Rugby Club player and Women's Co-Captain Georgia Moore to learn more about her incredible journey from country NSW to elite women’s rugby. Watch the video interview now and read the recent write-up about Georgia’s story from "The Land" below.

Originally from Werris Creek in regional NSW, Georgia’s rugby journey began at a young age, playing alongside boys in local competitions before progressing through representative rugby and senior women’s teams. Her hard work and country toughness have since taken her from the paddocks of Quirindi to the rugby fields of Sydney and even international tours overseas.

Growing up on her family’s 1214-hectare cropping, sheep and Wagyu farm, Georgia credits rural life for shaping the resilience and versatility she brings to the game today.

“My dad played senior rugby and we grew up on the sideline following him all around the Central North,” Georgia shared in a recent interview with The Land.

After captaining Central North representative sides and playing senior rugby at just 16 years old with the Quirindi Lions, Georgia continued to rise through the ranks. A standout moment came when she represented Country at the 2023 Australian Rugby Shield, helping her team secure the championship title.

That achievement ultimately led her to Southern Districts Rugby Club in the Sutherland Shire, where she now competes in the highly competitive Sydney rugby scene and has even captained the side.

Georgia says her country upbringing has helped set her apart on the field.

“When I moved here all the girls couldn't understand how I was so tough and how I could just keep going,” she said.

Her rugby ambitions continue to grow, with goals of breaking into the Super W competition and potentially representing Australia in the future.

Beyond the game itself, Georgia says rugby has provided lifelong friendships and opportunities around the world — including recent international tours with the Pacific Nomads.

“It’s a sport that brings people together and you make mates for life,” she said.

We’re proud to support local athletes and share stories like Georgia’s that showcase the incredible talent and determination within our community.
