“The opportunity to host such an event is a big step for Malta’s rugby not only to recognize the national team and its performance, but also to reaffirm its position as the host of international events,” said George. Zamit says. Montebello, Acting Chairman of MRFU.

“Being able to host such an event is also a win for the volunteers who enable these events behind the scenes. We hope this will be the first of many events in Malta in collaboration with Rugby Europe. “It’s done,” added Zammit Montebello.
