Saigon Rugby Football ClubIn this week’s newsletter from the Saigon Rugby Football Club, they wish the Club well this weekend when we “take part in that other sporting event with the oval ball – AFL – at the Asian Champs in Bangkok”.

That’s probably as close to a passionate embrace between AFL and Rugby that you will ever see anywhere in the world!

The support of the Saigon Rugby Club has been extremely important and appreciated by the guys trying to fly the Aussie Rules flag in Saigon. Their support has played a significant role in the formation of the Vietnam Swans and our inaugural appearance at the Asian Champs.

We doff our hats to the Saigon Rugby Football Club.
