Hillier felt there was a need to have a regular schedule of games to keep players involved in the sport in their post grade-competition years.

With the assistance of Wests Lions and the Queanbeyan Whites, Hillier developed plans for a regular game schedule for a new veterans’ rugby team.

The early games also established other rules of Veterans Rugby, like no pushing in scrums but contested line-outs, rucks and mauls.

The club plays most games, including a curtain-raiser for the Brumbies every year, to generate sponsorship and donate to their charities.

They have raised well over $650,000 for charities including Legacy Australia, Soldier On, the George Gregan Foundation, Menslink, Clare Holland House, the Heart Foundation, the Pediatrics Unit of the Canberra Hospital and Snowy Hydro SouthCare[6][non-primary source needed] with the help of their sponsors.
