The Afghanistan International Rugby team was only recognised by the Asia Rugby Federation in November last year and despite the story being framed in a warzone in the depths of winter, the Afghan men have grabbed the chance to immerse themselves in the sport.
They’ve played games against some very handy forces sides and have even been on tour to Pakistan to take part in a tournament where they managed to beat some well-established teams but at the moment they’re practising in freezing conditions honing the skills they need to take them to the next level.
Chillisauce knew that the only way to applaud such commitment and spirit was to bring them to the home of Rugby Union and welcome the team into the international rugby fraternity.
This will be a pleasant change for most of the team who at the moment are still playing with snow on the ground and not so long ago competed in a match when it was -17 degrees.
