Brendon Bale is very thrilled to share with us how his vegan journey began, and what led him to found the Green Gazelles Rugby Club in 2018. “My name's Brendon Bale. I recently established the first vegan rugby club. We’re called the Green Gazelles Rugby Club, and it’s made up of players from all over the world who follow a plant-based lifestyle.

We're going to travel all over the world and we're going to hopefully change the perception of veganism, particularly in such a hard-hitting sport that is rugby. So, we are here today now with a with a fully functioning team made of so many amazing, inspirational, motivated people who follow plant-based lifestyles. It’s incredible!”

If we become vegan as an individual, we can remedy the disasters that otherwise might affect us personally. The world can be what we make it to be, and we will make it a vegan world, a compassionate world, a peaceful world and a safe world.”
