Hi! This is something I looked into and the only place to go for rugby is Marbella, it is quite a big club, not all English, a lot of the coaches are Argentinian and they have all age groups. However for me it was too far to trail to .... stand watching rubgy for what seem like hours and hours (at least I could stand in the sun not on a muddy, freezing cold touchline as I did in the UK!) and then trail back home to mend knees, shoulders, teeth .......... wash the kit etc etc etc.

Go down and have a look though when you get over and see what you think!

You're right expat, I suppose I am a bit of a Rigby snob, I don't particulary have anything against League players per se, I just object to the changing of the rules, I mean it's not cricket, is it :lol:

Jason Robinson is a gifted athlete and would pick up any sport he chose. Andy Farrell is hopeless and its only the fact that the RFU spent so much money bringing him into the game as the reason why he even gets a look in for an England jersey.

He typifies how one dimensional League is which is why the Wallabies are incapable of fielding a decent pack. There'd probably be more Union players making the transition if there was any money in it and the game had any popularity outside of a few desolate northern towns.
