It's on the field that you develop admiration and respect for both your team and the opposing players.
It's off the field that you build friendships that last a lifetime.
For most participants, the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival is a moment that lasts forever.
Fantastic Tournament, it’s possibly one of the best we’ve been to, if not the best one we’ve been to. It’s very well organized, everything is on time, the referees are very fair and the quality of rugby is really, really good. I’m very impressed!

It’s a very important tournament. For the players it’s a European Cup... more than that, it’s the most important tournament of the year. We hope that we can come next year, and maybe win!

What we've seen so far is fantastic, a lot of good run and rugby, which is what the “kiwi” guys like to play. The weather’s turned out perfect. We’ve just come from the UK which was very cold, so the boys got to put some shorts for training which is great. It looks like there is a very good level of rugby here.
