Come on “Tour Barbados ”
Why Barbados ?
Barbados is an excellent place to come on “ Rugby tour” as it is a perfect blend of some competitive rugby and some serious partying! We can host teams at Senior, Youth levels and Over 35’s Veterans Level.
There are three rugby clubs on the island, Scorpions RFC, Renegades RFC and the Barbados Defence Force (Army).
Summer Training
Mostly rugby matches are played at the picturesque Garrison Savannah, which is also the home of Barbados horse racing. At our clubhouse you can drink copious amounts of Banks Beer or Cockspur Rum after the match and bore everyone by talking them through your 60 metre try or your rugby stories or just have a good ‘ole rugby sing song!
The annual "Virgin Atlantic Bird Man" competition.
All senior teams, Veterans teams and junior teams are welcome here in Barbados . Yes, the standards are sometimes different but we rarely have any total mis-matches and usually end up surprising some of our visitors.
