Montfort Rugby hosted the world-famous Penguin International RFC Coaching Panel at a special rugby clinic on November 2nd. Coaches from Penguin International RFC conducted an intensive coaching clinic for our Sec 2 and Sec 3 Ruggers. The coaches were former UK internationals.
The Penguins International RFC was founded in 1959 by the late Tony Mason and Alan Wright, both players for Sidcup RFC, who subsequently became Vice Presidents of Sidcup RFC and Kent County RFU. Penguins RFC are now recognised as the premier touring club in the UK, having played in or against teams from no less than 57 countries. Indeed, they are not only the most travelled rugby club in the world, but the most travelled sports club in the world. The principal objective of the Club has been to foster - by coaching and playing - the development, goodwill and camaderie of Rugby Union worldwide. The Club’s coaching and educational programme is organised by the HSBC Penguin Rugby Coaching Academy. The Club has endeavored to provide coaching sessions to the local rugby population on the majority of its tours over the last 45 years. In moving the club forward it was decided to formalise the coaching activities and in conjunction with HSBC the HSBC Penguin International Coaching Academy was formed in 2004.
Many Thanks to Singapore Rugby, HSBC and Penguins for making Montfort their Singapore stop as part of their global efforts in spreading the rugby gospel.
