Fallen Ruggers
Rugby is a brotherhood.
Beginning in 2012, before the final championship match, we like to honor the memories of our fallen brothers by reading their names and their representative team. We follow this with a moment of silence. If you lost a club member or a club supporter, please include their name in this memoriam.
