Exceptional turnout for the South Africa versus Ireland Tag rugby and 2nd Test

Great game of rugby and great buzz down at the Rugby Club – lovely to meet Paula and Josh from An Garda Siochana – click here for the FB Post – the presidents team played some dazzling rugby, with some incredible skills on show from a very small number of their players. The South Africans appeared to lack physical fitness, but there were glimmers of skills on show – great potential! Thanks to Bertus helping with the braai and all the family, friends and supporters of both teams who cam down to the club to enjoy the day and the match.
