Can you smell it in the air… it smells like rugby season!
Returning on 24 May and kicking off the 2025 rugby season, HRC is hosting a triple-header against Tampere Rugby Club! The day’s opener is none other than a rematch of last season’s women’s final, with Tampere coming in strong. Very exciting rugby lies ahead, and anything can happen – after all, a new season sometimes means entirely new teams. On the men’s side, the second game is a face-off between our Big Guns and TRC. Last year the Big Guns claimed a great victory at home – can the team repeat their success this year? And last, but certainly not least, the Tigers have a big first match of the season against PHT. Our Tigers have had a great off-season, gaining 7s experience and valuable rugby exposure.
As always, we are especially excited for all our new players to hit the field that weekend and wish them the best of luck! To our more experienced players – the season is finally back, enjoy! #AllInForHRC
Mark your calendars – it’s going to be a full-on rugby day!
