The Gibraltar Rugby Football Union is proud to announce the forthcoming Fixture against the Republic of Cyprus Select team. The fixture will take place at Victoria Stadium on the 23rd March at 3pm. Admission is free and the GRFU is hoping people will come down to support the National Rugby team. The fixture will be the first official home International for Gibraltar Rugby and as such it is fitting that this is played at Gibraltar's National Stadium - the Victoria Stadium. The Gibraltar Team has been working hard since its first International away to Belgium B in November 2011 in order to prepare itself for membership of FIRA-AER, the European Governing Body.

'The Moufflons' is the representative side of Cyprus in rugby union. Cyprus is on course for a Guinness World Record on the 16th March against Bulgaria. If they win this game they will overtake New Zealand as the National Team with the most consecutive wins. The Cypriot Team is chosen from UK Residents with Cypriot ancestry and Cyprus players playing in their local league. The Gibraltar game will be against a Cyprus select from the UK. The Cypriot team will have over 30 International caps.

Gibraltar National Manager Stephen Payas has commented 'This will be an extremely tough challenge for the Gibraltar team, Cyprus have been promoted every season since they joined the European leagues back in 2005. They are now in the 4th tier of Rugby Nations in Europe and if they beat Bulgaria are on track to be promoted again. We have a strong side, but obviously inexperienced at International level. These fixtures are designed to gear the National team up for when we do eventually compete in Official European competitions'.

There will be free entry to all on Saturday the 23rd March at Victoria Stadium. 15:00hrs is the Kick off time for the main event Gibraltar vs Cyprus. Throughout the day there will be an exhibition of Rugby fixtures. The Veterans Kick-off at 11.30 with the U12s/minis and Ladies Rugby Kicking off at 13:00hrs. Please bring family, friends and support the GRFU; find out what local Rugby in Gibraltar is all about.
