Matty was honoured to be asked again to speak & present the Quins 1st XV team with their 2026 Maciu Vosa “Away” jersey before the 1st game of the season today.
(Secretly loved that Brock gave him instructions not to waffle on! 🤣)
This is Matty’s 11th season supporting his beloved Quins from the sidelines, and the 11th Season the Quins have supported us.
Ever thankful to all the wonderful Quins Management, committee members, current & ex-players & volunteers for the love they continue to show us season after season 💚🩵❤️🏉

A big thankyou to the Cauliflower Club from Maciu Vosa, the staff & patients at the Royal Talbot Rehab Centre in Kew, Melbourne for the kind donation of smart tvs.
Everybody is stoked with the new additions to the spinal unit.

Great to catch up with Picnic D Holden & Fiona Soutar today.
Thanks so much for the jersey signed by former Fijian international rugby star & Hall of Famer: Waisale Serevi 🙌🏼
This one’s going straight to the pool room! 🤣

Over the last few months whilst I’ve been recovering from my surgery, I’ve managed to get out once a week and travel to the Royal Talbot rehabilitation centre in Kew to do Peer support & mentoring work with new spinal patients.

I’ve faced a lot challenges and have progressed a lot on my own but to be able to share my living experience is a huge part of my life, whether I want it to be or not and I’m finding it incredibly rewarding.

A major part of this work is helping others who are dealing with the same hurdles: To inform, To educate and To explain the facts that recovering from a spinal cord injury is not a quick or easy process.

It’s a sad fact that not every patient is eligible to any Care Funding. I was so grateful that through a client of one of my Fijian brothers, I was able to donate a powered wheelchair to the rehab spinal gym which has helped out this lovely gentleman so that he can still enjoy his independence with his family and his grandchildren when he’s back at home.

To be honest this life is tough, and things don’t always work out well. Not just for the patient but also the medical staff and their mental wellbeing throughout the tireless work that they dedicate their lives to every single shift.
To be able to do this work and give it back to our spinal community is something I’m grateful for everyday.
-Matty

Ten years ago, Maciu’s life changed in an instant. A seasoned rugby player with over two decades of experience, Maciu was playing for the Harlequins Rugby Club when a freak accident during the opening match left him with a complete C4 quadriplegic spinal cord injury.

After a challenging year healthwise, it was great to be back supporting my brothers Harlequin Rugby Club Melbourne in the Dewar Shield Grand Final yesterday.
-It wasn’t our day, but congratulations to Powerhouse on the win.
Thanks again Paul Holden & Box Hill Rugby Union Football Club for the rockstar car park and to the MVP of the day Dave Phillips for driving & looking after me. Much appreciated

Reflecting on Matty’s full circle moment.
Back at Royal Talbot today where his rehabilitation and road to recovery started 10 years ago…this time as a Peer Support Coach mentoring spinal patients on the first steps of their own recovery journeys
