This past week, 3 rugby greats visited Seoul as guests of the New Zealand, South African, Australian and French Chambers of Commerce. Israel Dagg, Joel Stransky, and Rod McCall are in Asia ahead of the Rugby World Cup being held in Japan this September. While in Korea, the athletes visited Dulwich College Seoul to hold a small training camp for students in the community.
On having the rugby athletes visit the school, Dulwich College Headmaster Graeme Salt said, “All three of our visitors are World Cup-winning rugby legends, but more importantly wonderful ambassadors for a game that bonds people so tightly around the world… I know their passion for rugby and immense expertise will inspire another generation of young rugby players. It has been our privilege to host them in support of this great game in Seoul.”
