Everyone who attended today’s Round 3 match of the Regional Rugby League between Rugby Club Čelik and the Zagreb City Rugby Union witnessed everything that makes rugby such a great sport. Two teams giving their all on the field, playing with every ounce of strength, fighting for their club and for the teammate beside them! In today’s match — which ended with a tight and dramatic score of 19:18 in favor of Čelik — the beauty of true sporting competition was on full display.

Thank you to our friends from Zagreb, and of course to the players of Rugby Club Čelik, who showed our spectators — especially the youngest ones — what it means to play for the love of the sport, to respect your club and its colors, and to finish the match with smiles, handshakes, and mutual respect between players, referees, and everyone involved. And most importantly — this is a sport played without money and without reward. When people ask us, “Why rugby?” — the answer is right here.
