This Saturday and Sunday are gonna be big. Seventeen players from the ladies team are leaving for Stockholm tonight for a double header against Attila and Enköping.

If you are coming to Lund in Autumn 2011 then the Lugi Lions clubhouse will be a great place for you to play rugby, keep fit and have fun – an environment in which Swedes and exchange students mix freely.
The Lugi Lions Rugby Club has both men’s and women’s teams. We typically train twice a week, play a couple of times a month and work at some the biggest concerts in nearby Malmö: Rammstein, The Eagles, Elton John, Lady Gaga, anyone?

We dominated possession and took territory when it was available. But it would really only be part of the story. Most of our tries came from the counter-attack, from quick turnovers and speed in the backs. That is to say, the scoreline stands as is thanks to opportunistic rugby.
