The Tournament
The U15 Tournament will take place at Unione Rugby Capitolina (URC). This is a young, but highly
successful club. Founded in 1996, the senior side won 6 promotions in 8 seasons, rising to the highest Italian division , the Super 10, where they play today. URC also boast the largest junior set up in the country, with their age group teams regularly winning the National competitions. We always prefer to have a small number of teams playing quality rugby and we will limit the Rome entries to 4. Games will last 2 x 15 minutes and be played at full XV a side. Two group games each on Friday precede the final group game and finals on Sunday.

All group leaders will be invited to a meeting on Thursday evening to confirm tournament format and regulations. The Tournament Draw will then be made. This will be followed by a welcome dinner for all players and adults. Training sessions are available at URC before the BBQ lunch which is included on Friday, followed by the opening group games. .BBQ lunch is also included
on Saturday. The tournament will culminate with a prize giving ceremony and post tournament meal at the club for all tourists. The bar will be open to serve refreshments, and there will be two wandering minstrels singing traditional Italian classics .
