Every Gallagher Premiership Team's RPA Delegate

But in unprecedented times likes these, the role of the delegates is more important than ever. 

Essentially, they serve as a link between their teammates and the RPA, while any vital information is passed on to them personally. 

A new recruit ahead of the 2013/14 season, second row/back row Matt Garvey joined Bath Rugby from London Irish, where his exploits at the line-out and in the loose earned him a call-up to the England Saxons. Essex-born Garvey poses a potent threat in all facets of play, and has made a name for himself in the Premiership for his tough tackling and dominance at the breakdown. 

 joined Bristol Bears from Championship outfit Bedford Blues ahead of the 2018/19 Gallagher Premiership season. Former Saracens, Wasps and Gloucester man made three Gallagher Premiership appearances in 2018/19. The hooker, who played for England Saxons during the 2010 Churchill Cup, has a wealth of experience in the number two shirt.

Rob Baxter's first signing when he took charge of the Exeter Chiefs back in 2009, the Welshman has played an integral role in the rise of the Devon club since his arrival. Last season, Dollman marked ten years at the Devon club with a testimonial year.

He passed a century of appearances for the club in 2018-19 and was selected in the Premiership Rugby Team of the Season. The centre also earned a Barbarians call-up to play against England at Twickenham.

ambert joined Harlequins in 2004/5 and has since gone on to make 239 appearances, making him one of the most-capped players in the Club's history. A former England U19 and U21 representative, the loosehead prop was also called up for the England Saxons during the 2009 Churchill Cup.

Signed as a hooker but now settled at prop, Bateman made Leicester Tigers history by playing in all three front-row positions during the course of the 2016/17 season, his second year with the club.

 Porecki signed for London Irish in the summer of 2016. A promising hooker, Dave played 16 times for Irish during their Championship winning season and was named Man of the Match on a series of occasions in the process.

Waller carved his name into Saints folklore with his extra-time try against Saracens in 2014 to give the Club a first-ever Premiership title. A product of the Saints Academy, Waller was educated at Wellingborough School and made his debut in November 2009 against Ospreys.

he son of former England captain Bill, Josh made his debut for the club in January 2013 having joined on a dual registration deal with Fylde after a spell in the Newcastle Falcons academy. He was voted Players’ Player of the Year in 2014-15 and finally made his England debut in May of the same year after his first senior international call-up was cut short by an ill-timed shoulder injury. Beaumont has since gone on to rack up over 100 appearances for the Sharks and is consistently one of the first names on the team sheet. 

The prop is much-loved member of the Sarries squad due his likeable, jokey personality and enthusiasm – displayed in abundance in the changing room, leading the now-famous post-victory celebrations, videos of which have been viewed across the globe. On the pitch Barrington has developed into a fine scrummager and dependable asset. In his youth, the front rower was accustomed to life at blindside flanker before Hartpury College helped his transition to loosehead.

He capped a memorable Wasps Premiership debut by being named man-of-the-match in his club’s first win at Northampton Saints' Franklin’s Gardens home in nearly a decade. Rieder suffered the misfortune of suffering two serious injuries which wiped out most of his 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons - with 19 months separating two first-team appearances. On his return in September 2019, he scored against Saracens in the Premiership Rugby Cup. 

Waller moved to Sixways from Northampton Saints in the summer of 2017. Injury meant that he had to bide his time at the start of the 2018/19 season but he produced some eye-catching performances in the loose as well as helping to anchor the scrum since.
