Polish Rugger !
Rugger in Poland is flying high and the world’s most loved sport is gaining a great deal of attention in Europe with Polish rugby from national level to club and grassroots community levels.
The Krakow Rugby Festival is the first tournament of its kind in Poland, and is organised jointly by Sports Tours Poland foundation and Juvenia Rugby Club.
Krakow has been growing as a social rugby tours destination over the past few years, and it certainly deserves its reputation as a great place to combine playing rugby and socialising. Only during its second edition the Krakow Rugby Festival attracted teams from min.: England, France, Germany, Holland, Scotland, Wales, and even Venuezuela
“The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday.”- Tom David
Rugby festivals are not only about the game itself. As much as we love drinking games, contests & live music concerts, a rugby festival should be something more. It’s a bond you create with other people from different teams. A bond which is about positive emotions, the feeling of unity, when you suddenly realise that boarders don’t matter, as regardless of country of origin we are all one big rugby family.
