“I am very happy – commented Ilie Ivanciuc – to continue in this sporting project. I want to contribute as much as possible to the players in their rugby growth. The work of Roberto (Casolari) and Sam (Morton) in the fray will be fundamental to obtain positive results. As a group goal, we are aiming to do better than last year, to get as high as possible. Everything will start from building a strong and united group, ready to show our gaming identity.”
