      it's a game that shows skill, power and teamwork; a game that demands player's respect for one another; a game where the smallest guy on the pitch (the ref) commands the giants surrounding him; a game where aggression is taken out on the pitch not off it. The rugby culture should be shared with the world and set an example to those whom spectate it.

      Rugby as a sport here in Switzerland is on the edge of peoples' conciousness. It is, however, popular with expatriates and these are slowly drawing more Swiss into the rugby family. And it really is a family - everyone knows everyone else and firm friendships are formed. In particular in Switzerland it is the international flavour and co-operation that make it special. Our club has English, Irish, US, Kiwis, Argentinians, French, German, Scottish, Czech, Sth Africans and so many more. Promoting a healthy co-operative environment and tolerance for all comers. True Olympic ideals in action.
