Worcester Wanderers RFC Tour the TRNC

The Worcester Wanderers returned from the rugby world outpost of Northern Cyprus last Friday tanned & tired!

37 Wanderers tourists drawn from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & Colt xvs, undertook a week long club tour at the end of the season as guests of the Cyprus Pumas. Rugby is a developing sport in a nation dominated by football but, the Turkish Rugby Federation, formed in 2007, have already created a 5 team league.
