Stuart loved to see rugby develop in the Philippines and was excited and proud to be part of a developing nation and witness their rise both locally and internationally,&quot; it said.&quot;A big thanks to Stuart on behalf of all players and the Union, it’s never easy being in the middle with a whistle, we hope you enjoyed your time here and we thank you for your support and services!
