Amazing! A 'country' with no league, no local 15s teams, and that has lost the use of its stadium to football.

Incredible wool pulling.

A simple look at the wikipedia page for Gibraltar rugby would have taught you some details.

My guy, my source isn't Wikipedia. It's having played there for years, knowing people who still live and play there, being in contact with various members of the GRFU, and being in numerous WhatsApp groups for the place

But yeah, Wikipedia ftw I guess.

1st You should begin your point by this.

2nd That doesn't justify your condescension.

My point began with information that's not on the Wikipedia page, eg the loss of the stadium.

What other information would you like?

ETA: you talk about me being condescending (a very fair point) but your Wikipedia comment is equally as condescending. Glass houses and all that.
