Spreading the rugby gospel in Croatia

*On this weeks edition of “The Sporting Life”, Andrew talks to Alan Moore, an Irishman who has helped establish a rugby club in Knin, Croatia. After numerous legal and administrative battles getting the club off the ground, Knin are now actively recruiting Irish people to help develop the game in the Dalmatian hinterland. This Thursday the interview will be broadcast in full, so contained here are just some smaller facts.

The opportunity to play rugby outside of Ireland doesn’t come up too often for many people. However, such a prospect has become a reality thanks to the formation of a rugby club in Eastern Europe, which is now looking to Ireland for help to develop it further. So, pack the bags and head to Croatia, because the opportunity of a lifetime can become a possibility overnight.
