The Heritage Rounds are a new initiative to the 2013 Queensland Premier Rugby competition and play an integral role in Queensland Rugby's 130 Year Anniversary celebrations this year. Easts was founded in 1947 under the name Brisbane State High School Old Boys where they competed in Queensland Rugby's Old Boys competition. Their evolution continued and a year later they became known as Colts before in 1949 they assumed the name Eastern Districts. Today, the club is known as Easts Rugby Union with their main playing oval - David Wilson Field - based in Coorparoo and named after the legendary Easts flanker who captained the Wallabies nine times.

Following the Tigers Hospital Cup heroics in 2008, they went on to be crowned Australian Club Champions by defeating Sydney University 38-31 in Sydney. However, the club has consistently been strong across all grades with Easts winning the Doughty Shield on five occasions in 1987, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009. In their history, nine different players have received Premier Rugby Player of the Year honours, including current Reds Head Coach Richard Graham, who won the then XXXX Medal in 1999. The Player of the Year Award is now known as the Alec Evans Medal and was won in 2012 by Easts flyhalf Matt Brandon, who was also the Player of the Year recipient in 2007. A total of 27 Easts representatives have gone on to wear the green and gold jersey for either the Wallabies or for Australia at a Sevens, U21, U20, U18 or Wallaroos level. They also have 47 Queensland representatives and currently have a number of players involved in the Reds program, including Eddie Quirk, Aidan Toua, Blake Enever, Jarrad Butler and UJ Seuteni. Kick off is at 3pm on Saturday at David Wilson Field on the corner of Corner Halifax Street & Milsom Street in Coorparoo.
