Dunvant Youth host touring side Club San Luis (Argentina) on the evening of Tuesday 27th February 2018 at 7.15pm.

Club San Luis are travelling with 30 Players and 16 Staff as they are touring Wales, Scotland, England and France between 21st February and 9th March 2018.

Club San Luis is an Argentine rugby union and field hockey club from the city of La Plata in Buenos Aires Province. Their senior rugby team currently plays in the Top 12, the first division of the UniĆ³n de Rugby de Buenos Aires league system.
The connection with Dunvant has come from Francisco Scarpinelli of La Plata RFC, the leading rugby club in La Plata with more than 1,000 players and 4,500 members. Many players have gone on to play for the national team and professional clubs in Europe. La Plata have played Dunvant R.F.C. on more than one occasion several years ago and Francisco has asked us to host these young players from Club San Louis, although he cannot attend on this occasion. It is even suggested we could forge a relationship with La Plata for regular tours and even for Dunvant to go on tour to Argentina-start saving up boys!!
Please do come down to Broadacre on Tuesday 27th to support our boys and give a warm Dunvant welcome to our visitors.Clubhouse & bar will be open from 6.00 p.m.

Do any former Dunvant players have any recollections of previous games with La Plata? It would be great to hear your stories and air them on our website.
