Men’s National Team 15’s

The Men’s National Team 15’s play in the Rugby Europe Conference 2 North. This is a competition that replaced the European Nations Cup. The group of North 2 consists of Finland, Norway, Denmark, Moldova and Austria.
The team is headed up by Alastair Davies, a former Helsinki Rugby and Turku Eagles men’s coach. Alastair has big plans to drive the team forward and gain promotion to North 1 as well as rise in the World Rugby rankings. Alastair is supported by a dedicated management team which consists of Casey Dent (Forwards Coach) and Luca Seale (Team Manager).
The team play their games in the late Spring and late Autumn, usually with 1 home and 1 away fixture in the Spring plus 1 home and 1 away in the Autumn.
The teams recently confirmed fixtures for 2020 – 2021 are to be confirmed due to the Covid/19 pandemic
