Can you smell it in the air\u2026 it smells like rugby season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Returning on May 24th 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 finals , 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 will be 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 some 7s experience and valuable rugby exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark your calendars; it’s going to be a full-on rugby day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
