Dragons RFC CEC Rhys Blumberg as today welcomed the news that the club will host the BUCS Super Rugby Milk Championship Finals next year.
After two seasons at StoneX, the home of Saracens, the prestigious competition is heading across the border for this season’s BUCS Super Rugby Milk Championship Finals at Rodney Parade on Wednesday 16 April.
Blumberg said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be chosen to host the BUCs Super Rugby Milk Championship Finals at Rodney Parade and to bring this prestigious event to Wales for the very first time.
“It’s a huge privilege for Rodney Parade to be chosen, after a rigorous and competitive tender process from clubs right across England and Wales. We look forward to welcoming the teams and supporters for a truly special day of rugby.
“Top-flight university rugby has been grabbing a lot of positive attention in recent seasons with the BUCs finals, the pinnacle of university rugby, growing year on year.
“We are delighted that a fantastic crop of incredible talent, that will all hope to go on to achieve great things in our sport following their time at university, will be on show at Rodney Parade and encourage our fans and the Welsh rugby public to get right behind the event.”
The finals will be taking place on Wednesday 16 April and ticket information will be released soon.
